Hey there! I feel kind of bad about asking this question because you guys probably hate it when people around here ask such questions, but in all honesty I have no idea what to do. Is buying Sennheiser HD 555 headphones silly if you already have AKG K-240 cans? All the local shops in my area...

Hi guys,   I am new here and a noob for headphones.   I am currently listening music with my Xonar Essence STX driving the AKG K240 MKII and want to add an amp in between for better SQ. I have narrowed down my choice to Little Dot I+ and Little Dot MKIII.   I would like to seek some...

I don't like the AKG 701s much.  I got them a few years ago and haven't listened to them very much.  I liked my 650s and 880s much better, so the poor 701s never got much use.  I probably have never came close to amassing the requisite amount of burn in hours in all the time I've had them.... if...

I'm having trouble deciding between th grado prestige 125i and the akg k240mkII's  I will be using the TubeMagic D1 DAC and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.  I listen to everything except classical and country...I don't like overbearing bass.  So if anyone has any experience with...

I got my AKG 271 MKII from Amazon today. I read the box and it said they were made in China. I thought they were made in Germany/Austria? Can someone help? Thanks

Hey guys I'm getting the hifiman ef2a usbdac/amp and was going to get the AKG K240MKII.  My main concern is that this is my first decent purchase on an audio setup.  I listen to music on my pc around 6-8 hours a day because write.  I listen to everything besides modern country, death metal...

Hi! I would like to buy a new cable for my akg k240, which is not longer than 2m and is under 50$. Can you recommend something?

An incredibly bold ripoff of the Beats? A funny name a la Schiit meant to inspire bathroom humor? I saw someone mention how cool they would look to the kids with Beats... Right, until you tell them the name. Seriously, Fanny Wang? I would honestly make up a brand name before I told someone I was...

Hi   I'm looking for some headphones right now, and need some advice and personal opinions from people who know.   The headphones will used for music production, primarily for composition purposes at the moment.  For when I can't use the monitors due to it being late at night or I just...

Hello,   Just out of curiosity, how do you identify that you have fake K240 MKII headphones?     Kind Regards.

Hey just a few week or month ago I bought the ATH M50 with the help of people in this website  And I appreciate the insight but for another reason  I was thinking of getting myself some new phones that isn't ATH M50 and at a moderate price range of 1-200 $  Of course.. I' looking for...

Hey, so which headphone do you think is best for under $300. im willing to spend a little more if its worth it. also im going to use this for every genre but mainly rap/hiphop/r&b.   thanks

I just ordered a pair of AKG K271 MK2 and an Ibasso D6 for use with my Ipod Classic 120gb,  I also picked up the Ibasso Ipod Line out adapter. I am wondering how to properly break in this gear (if i even have to). 

I'm looking for headphones that sound well different from my grado's and hd555s I've been looking at the AT ATH-A700/AD700 or Beyer's DTX 990s. They will also  need to work for rock music and gaming. Also looking at the AKG  K240MKII and the k 242 HD

I plug these headphones into my old Marantz 1040 amp when listening to CDs. The sound is nice and musical.   I don't find the K240 to be very revealing and analytical like the K701.     Does the K240 MKII have a flat freq response?     Kind Regards,  

So, I need to buy some headphones, and I have heard people say that the Grado Sr225i is the best rock headphone for the money, but is there anything else you would recommend up to the 300-350 price range over the Grados?   Is there anything in that price range that handles rock as well, but...

are there any places that sell the denon d2000 for 200 or under? i live in canada so shipping is generally another 30 from the us   if not can you guys recommend something under 200, im looking for somethign straight from my ipod and i listen to mostly indie folk and rock, alternative...

Hello Head-Fi'ers,   Most of my listening i do at the office. And i wan looking for some cans i can use there. The office is not a cubicle, more a open room with 8 desks in it. They have a radio playing quietly, but after Monday i cannot stand radio 3FM anymore for the rest of the week...

Have been using the AKG K240MkII for a while but I have recently purchased a pair of AKG K702 headphones........... first impression, even before burning in, they are awesome.............. I am currently using the headphone output of my Marantz PM 66SE.... which is pretty good.......... but this...

Hi,   I just bought a AKG K240 MK II, and am loving the sound produced by my Macbook Pro so far. However, on my iPhone I can only hear stuff at 2/3 volume or above. Below that there's nothing. Also the bass seems to be missing the kick that I've been reading about with these headphones. I...

From what I've read, the K240 would pair best with a solid state amp, rather than a tube amp but I have no experience with amping headphones so can anyone recommend a good amp? I'm not looking for anything too expensive but I don't want to spend too little and only end up with a negligable...

Hi, I've recently come across these new offerings from AKG. As I mentioned before, I really can't stand the canalphones. Therefore, I decided to look into MDR-V6, HD201/205, HD280, MDR-XD400, DT250, K81/181. Obviously not much info on these K81/181DJ as they're fresh for 2006. Even the...

I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD555 to use at home, but they feel like a vice on my head and give me a splitting headache in just a couple minutes.  I own a pair of Sennheiser HD570s that I have had for 15 years and find to be extremely comfortable and can wear for hours at a time at...

Hey guys!  I am new to this forum - just joined.  Anyways, I am in a slight predicament here.  I am looking for some new cans (preferabbly closed, or open with very little leak).  I listen to lots of rock, rap, hip hop, metal.  These include guns n roses, eminem, metallica, devil wears prada...
