I’ve done my best to A/B these headphones as I have been unable to decide between the two and have been scouring this site for opinions. In the end I ruined my bank balance and ordered both with a view to returning one set.   I have been listening to the 545 for nearly 2 weeks but I have only...

I'm trying to find a pair of portable headphones that will suit my needs. First I'll mention I'm not an audiophile, but I love music very much and I'm used to exellent sound quality since I currently own the Vsonic GR01 IEM's, which I listen to daily a couple of years now. I just LOVE the...

Hello, I'm searchin for an open headphone and my priority is its musicality.   I actually have a philips x1; it's beautiful, very comfortable, musicality and treble as i like, just mid bit too recessed, but the problem for me is the too wider scene: i often listen live of Dave Matthews Band...

Hey everyone!   Looking into getting some cans for my commute and for home use. My music collection is very eclectic and I'm in no way an audiophile, although I do appreciate good quality sound. I'm looking at the AKG K545 and the Marshall Monitors currently but am open to suggestions. I don't...

I own monster turbine pro gold and MDR-XB500.   I like how my turbines sound. I prefer warmer sound that they give. I listen to club/hip hop/pop pretty much everything.   I narrowed my choices too   MDR-1R   Sol Republic 1601-30 Master Tracks Over-Ear Headphones (I like how they fit)...

Hello, Head Fi Community! Please help, because I'm in quite the predicament most first posters have: buying a new set of cans. Now, first of all, you see me asking about the M50s. Just bear with me please, I have read the reviews here, and I have scoured the interwebs and the YouTubes for some...

i listen to a lot of different music from all ranges, but mainly listen to edm (trance and house mainly) and all kinds of rock music. some hip hop here and there..   im somewhat still new to headphones and i want one i can use at home and on the go with great music. i like my highs and mid to...

wondering if the new akg 545 headphones would have at least as much or more bass than the simple little ear buds that you are supplied with when you buy an ipod? because i had the akg k550 and they had no bass, i swear my little apple ear buds had more bass. and for those of you reading this...

Hey guys, I'm looking for headphones for use strictly at home. I'm looking for something that is very comfortable, I'm going to be using them for gaming (not FPS games, strategy games so surround sound doesn't really matter to me), and for music (I like to listen to pop, house, rock, and...

First off my rig is a iPod 5th gen with imod and my amp is a Fiio E11. Now I need help finding a good set of Over-the-ears headphones to complete my rig. I've been looking at the DT770's both the 80ohms and the 250ohms. I'm not sure if I'm a 100% sure set on those. Can I get some help please...

i liked the amount of bass in the sennheiser HD650 but they didn't fit my head quite right. looking at the AKG k545, wondering if it has at least as much bass as the HD650.thanks, john

I need help deciding between these three headphones:   Philips Fidelio L1 AKG K545 Sennheiser Momentum On-ear   I noticed that the L1 has gone on sale on Amazon for $122. I'd preferably want to keep my budget under 200, but if the AKG K545 ($210) or the sennheiser momentum on-ear ($199)...

My first thought was that these would be a more portable replacement to the K550, hopefully the sound will follow. The links show that the K545 will be available in black, white, black/turquoise and black/orange while the AKG K845 BT will only be available in black and white. Thoughts?  ...

I just got a new AKG K167 today from B&H. Some quick thoughts:   1. Price has been reduced a lot to $104 and including the taxes it is $113. Amazon is selling it for $98 but I don't want to wait for shipping.   2. I opened the box immediately after I checked out. I was nervous about the...

Does anyone know of good ones? I might be thinking of a non remote/mic cable for an AKG K545.   Thanks in advance!

AKG 545 vs Focal Spirit Classic   Leaning towards the AKGs at the moment as i'm concerned about the Focal's comfort - what do you guys think?   Thanks,   Charlie 

Hi, as the title suggests im looking for a amp/dac combo under 200$ that i can use with sansa clip zip and AKG 545 , ill also be using this with my laptop.I took a look at the fiio X3 which looked really good for portable use , but can it function as a amp/dac for my pc as well? Also thoughts on...

Hi! I currently own a Galaxy S3, Fiio E07K headphone amp (digitally connected) and a Denon AHD-1100.    I listen to a lot of Alternative Rock, and that is generally not the best recorded/mastered music on this planet. ;) I like how the Denon 1100 is very warm and forgiving on a lot of music. I...

I purchased a pair of AKG K545, my first AKGs, and absolutely love them for their sound quality + build + style. I like to have some bass and the bass response of these AKGs is just perfect. Recently i came across Onkyo ES-FC300 which looks VERY similar to the K545 but the reviews suggests they...

I am new to this forum and would like your guys opinion on something. (Yes I already know your opinion on Bose)   I am looking for a pair of every day all around over ear listening headphones.   I was given a old pair of Bose QC2's from my friend. They are now heavily used and I need a new...

Hello guys,   This is actually my first post here at head-fi.  I recently purchased a set of AKG K545 portable headphones and wanted to give my impressions/review on the unit as there is not many already on the web.   First and foremost, I do understand that this site is for "audiophiles" as...

Looking for a good pair with a budget of about $200, want it to sound good with electronic (house,electro,etc.) but not to the point that there's so much bass that that's all it sounds good with.

I'm not totally new to headphones - I own a HE-400, which I use with Schiit Modi + Vali.   I'm looking to buy my second headphone, and it will be an AKG - I'm considering the K551 and K545. I'm aware that the K545 is more portable than the K551. I would prefer a portable headphone, but only if...
