Last week when I was trying to troubleshoot a problem in my World Audio Design HD83 Headphone amplifier I got some help from divie23 and Apheared. Apheared hinted that he had not seen many reviews of how this amp sounds and maybe I should review it, so I thought I would give it a try. The first...

I thinking about upgrade my AKG k240 mkII to AKG k601, because what I like in my k240:   - nice balanced sound - 6h sessions, easy, no fatigue - wide music scene   I hope that this will be improved in k601 and I get rid of:   - gentle heating in the ears (because of the open...

Sennheiser HD650 Review Introduction Well, those that read my Sony MDR-SA5000 will note that I was a little disappointed in the SA5000’s small headstage and lack of resolution. I started doing some research on a headphone that could compliment them, something that would just let the...

Would the HD600 + a Bottlehead Crack give an excessively warm presentation?   Are there any other cheap tube options that would work better with the HD600?   Are cheap tube amps or cheap solid better with the HD600?   Would a cheap Stax rig outperform the HD600 + cheap tube amp?

  Just a shout out if anyone else feels that AKG might cut the K601 in the near future from the product line.   This thought crossed my mind by chance after stumbling upon some online retailers that are now for no apparent reason 'no longer listing this item'.   It might make sense...

Got some AKG K501 headphones.   Nice sounding headphones, a bit gentle sounding. The bass is a bit light, but enough.   At the moment my old Marantz 1040 is driving the K501s.   Later I will try the K501s with the Heed CanAmp.   Regards.

This is one of my favorite headphones ever. It's sound is just so addicting. It has my near perfect signature and just makes music so much more fun to listen to. After all the time I spent listening to this I can't believe I never gave it a full review. This isn't a headphone for everyone, but...

Hello,   I'm just a little curious  about these AKG headphones.   Are the K501s more musical and less analytical  than the K601s?   I used to have AKG K701s and owned them for 2 years. They are good headphones, but too clinical for me. Not musical like my Grado SR80s!   I've...

I'm right now thinking about buying some new headphones and a dedicated headphone amp.   I'm going to buy the K601 (as seen in the title) but with an impedance of crazy 120 ohms i would definitely get an amp to make sure i'm getting the best out of these pair of headphones. I've already been...

FIRST OF ALL: I'm no Audiophile expert  I bought the 598 in eBay on the JR Store for 170$ msrp i believe 340$ I have used these cans for 2 days now, both for inside and outside (yes outside). I must say the cable is pretty long but the 10 foot cable was good for me to rest on my couch and...

Interesting how there's a lot of K340 love around right now... I wonder if the K501 might have a similar following fifteen years from now, as it's going out of production soon. "Wow, I found these K501 headphones made back in the 00's... they have this magical midrange that's hard to find...

I'm sure most people have had that experience with a nice setup, and the right track, where everything melts away and the music takes over, obviously its a very relaxing experience, so I assume a relaxing setup is also needed, Does anyone here have a relaxing setup purely for relaxing listening...

Here's my setup.   Fatar Numa Nero MIDI controller > PC > East/West Quantum Leaps Pianos sampler program > Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 Ultra > headphones.   Looking for a set of cans that'll reproduce solo piano and classical music beautifully. I also listen to solo piano and classical music a...

I am looking for a pair of full sized headphones with the best midrange I can possibly get for a budget limit of $150 max.   I've read a ton of threads on this subject and have found out that the akg k501 is probably the best lower priced headphone for good mids, but all of the those threads...

4/17/12 edit: Broken link note - the "full-length K701 review" referred to several times in the review text below was an exact copy of this thread's review: http://www.head-fi.org/t/187240/akg-k701-after-1000-hours-final-review. The link was rendered broken after a Head-Fi software upgrade in...

So what's the word on these cans? I've only read, like, two or three posts on these cans on this site. One comment about them were not good, but the other person compared these to the K501's and preferred the DT48's midrange over that of the AKG's. The only caveat is that this listener...

Greetings This is a good amp to AKG K701?

Hey guys!   Been looking into headphones specifically for the aforementioned genres. After doing some research within the forums, and many many many threads later, i've come to the conclusion that the HD600 and HD650 are the top contenders. Which do you guys suggest and why? Any opinion will...

as the title says. 

So, I'm in the market for a headphone amp, and mainly use Grado's (currently SR-80's).....but, I also have a pair of AKG K240DFs that I use for tracking in my little home studio. Never really used them for anything BUT that. Just for craps and giggles while reading the forums on amps, I...

does anyone have these and if so, do you know if i can get hold of a pair? i troed to look last night, and got a load of german websites. unfortunately i haven't done any German since leaving school, so i don't know if any sie will deliver to the UK.

  Hello:   I am a classical music lover who is planning on purchasing headphones soon. My current system is “vintage” but good quality (McIntosh, Nakamichi, Klipschorns, etc.). I haven’t got much experience with headphones but I've learned a lot from this great site. I am heavily leaning...

So, in my head-fi journey thus far, I've been through a few different headphones and have found that there really isn't one headphone that is the "end-all" set of cans for me. I've realized that this is really due to my changing mood and music types. Depending on whether I want to analyze what...

Just got the F1 in the mail today. I like it a whole lot and I think it does rock better than the grados I have. They seem to be a very versatile headphone which can really do any genre pretty well. The bass quantity is almost on par with my K601s, yet have more bass than the K501s...
