Hello everyone on Head-Fi! I'm new to this forums and I really enjoy music. (sounds atrocious, doesn't it)   I own  AKG 518 LE headphones but i am not satisfied at all... (my wire broke 3 times..., fortunately my father could fix this)   Now i want to buy new ones but my price range is...

Hello everyone!   Let me start by saying, that english is not my language of choice and as such, I may have some difficulties explaining complicated issues. I am a quite non-sophisticated music listener with very simple needs and very limited budget. Given that, I require from my music...

I currently have the ATH-ES7's and have been pretty pleased although saw the AKG's and was curious how do the compare and for what types of music? Thanks, Joe.

I purchased these against the recommendations of some of my homies, LOL...I just had to try them. I got the yellow ones from Amazon for $45.   As of late, I've been wanting a decent all-rounder that has a slight lean toward bass. Used to run a Dell Jukebox with Senn EH350's back in the day...

Hi   I am new here and am looking for some advice to help fix the snapped headphone jack on my AKG K518 headphones.  I have some experience in fixing other electronic stuff but never anything audio related.   At my disposal, I have a soldering iron, some silver audio grade solder, and...

Hey guys, I'm new here.   Ive had my AKG K518 headphones for 2-3months from now and I gotta be honest, I love the bass, but it can be weary after using it for half an hour or more. I'm looking for a better headphones with heavy-bass(basshead), and very comfortable and non-weary. My budget...

I'm wondering which of the two has better overall sound quality which is really fun to listen to? Let me know your thoughts! :D Thanks!   http://headphonescout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/61n5Rxv35ZL._AA1200_.jpg  ...

Just wondering if someone could help me decide between these three. They're going to be a gift for my friend and I can't really decide which ones to go with.  I live in Canada, so I'm not able to quite get amazing prices like those who live in the US. At the moment, I can get the AKG K518LE...

Looking to purchase a pair for the girlfriend's birthday, and found them both on incredible sales. The K518LE for $35 and the K450s for $60.   Anyone have experience with both? Which is superior and why?   If it helps, she'd be listening from her iPod touch and would be using them at...

I have narrowed it down to these 2 basshead portables and wanted a final opinion before I make a final decision.    I have a Fiio E11 amp my source is an iPod Touch 4G. Audio files on the iPod are all converted 256kbps AAC, half are from ALAC files and the other are from 320 mp3's.   I...

Hello,    I just purchased an AKG K518 headphone. I like it so far but I have a little concern about the volume. It is quite low compared to my Sony XB500 and Klipsch S4 with of course the same volume setting on my Sansa Clip Plus (with Rockbox).    It's loud  at about -15/-5db but still...

I know NOTHING about headphones and hope that someone on this site may be able to help me. I have a 16 year old daughter that asked for "Beats" for Christmas, I am a single mother and $300 is $$$$ to put out for headphones....especially after reading the reviews She listens to music on her...

Hello everyone :) I am thinking of getting a headphone upgrade. I already have the AKG K518LE, which is my standard portable pair, and the Sennheiser HD 408, which I use at home.  I am looking for something I can use both at home, and when I'm walking around. I want it to isolate me from...

Hi, i'm new in this forum. I would like a new headphone but i have a limited budget of 65-70 €. I have got the sennheiser px 200 (the first model) from 5 years and now i want change it with a better over ear headphone. My favorite music is Metal music and hard rock but sometimes i listen...

Hello! I need new headphones for "on the go" purpose. For me that is everything that is smaller than my Sony XB-500 (which are quite huge). So, here, in my country AKG K518 and Philips O'Neill "Stretch" cost the same. And I can't decide which ones should I choose. My girlfriend has Philips and...

Please don't hate on me until you read! I currently own a pair of ATH-M50 that I have recently purchased. The sound is great and all but they are just too heavy and I find them a bit uncomfortable. I also now realize I want portability. I am considering the Vmoda M80 but people have been saying...

Hey anybody can give me someadvice, which is better? Akg k518 dj ? Akg k518 le? Or Ath m50? Forthis one i like the bassy headphone. Offcourse overall good too..

So, I was looking around for a decent pair of CLOSED headphones to ask for for my birthday. Looking for some that are relatively light, durable, and portable, with good sound (obviously). ABSOLUTE upper limit is $80. Also the headphones need to not leak sound (so closed, I guess). Usually I...

Hi, I'm a bit of an audiophile novice, and I am looking for some advice on what headphones to get my girlfriend for valentines day. I personally use the Koss Pro DJ100's, and my GF has fallen in love with them. She is soon getting an electric piano (which is apprently not the same as a keyboard...

hi,   i have the AKG K518 headphones and i like them very much. Great sound and really good wear comfort and thats for 50€ - thats great. There is only one problem, the headphones look really big on my head. A friend has the WeSC Oboe headphones and they nuzzle on the head (i hope this is a...

I've replaced pads on some other headphones before, mostly Sennheisers. Are the K518 pads replaced the same way, by pulling out the retaining frame that the pads are wrapped around? It seems like it's very tight and I don't want to risk damaging anything by prying with a screwdriver since I like...
