I have recently decided on buying the AKG k612 so now i need to find a worthy amp. So could you guys suggest a good amp/dac less than 100$ preferably portable. I know it's a tall order, but it'd be great if you could help me out. Thanks!

Hi, all. Interested in people's feedback on this thread. I listen to rock, country, bluegrass, edm, opera, and jazz--in roughly equivalent doses. I am not a basshead. I have several other cans, but none that fits in this precise niche. I appreciate the assistance very much!

I've read a lot of really good things about the AKG K612 on head-fi and elsewhere, even suggestions that it is well on the way to the SQ of a Sennheiser HD600. I am very pleased with my recently acquired HD598 and find it hard to believe that an HP costing under £100 can be as good - the 612's...

I don't expect headphones of the gods for under $300, but what are the clearest well balanced open-backs I can get for the budget? I suppose I can stretch just a little.

what are in your opinion the best headphones under or about 200$? i'm searching for great sound quality and deep clear bass for electronic but also pop music. i can also buy an amplifier if it could help

Don't know if anyone on here reads Ars Technica much, but they just dropped a decent size article on Grado. I think most on here know most of Grado, but there may be a few n00bs. Maybe some new stuff the vets don't know too. I found it a good read.  ...

I love the v-shaped signature of the DT990 but I want more height out of the soundstage. A few weeks ago I was able to listen to the AKG K612 with an Aune T1 with the E88CC Golden Lion tube. The soundstage was great and I could actually hear sounds coming from below ear level, basically from the...

What is the best single driver iem?   Can be either BA or Dynamic or Moving Armature. For me, it doesn't really matter, but I genuinely prefer the Bass and Treble response of a good dynamic driver, coupled with the detail and accuracy (but not too much) of a good BA driver. I do not have...

If i have heard an AKG headphones and i liked their sound, will the sound of their other products will be somewhat identical? (I am talking about all companies, In particular i know to know about AKG, Audio technica, Shure and more if possible)

Just bought myself a pair of NEW AKG K612 Pros (just arrived 10 mins ago) and i can't hear the difference between these and my old Philips SHP2700. I am using the SupremeFX III on my mobo to drive them (i assume it's good enough, or so i was told by a headphone collector). Is something wrong...

Hello new here, looking to upgrade my sound system on my pc , mainly gaming and some music.   I currently own a Soundblaster Z and i use a pair of Turtlebeach PX5's from my old 360, not bad sound but im no expert, plus i neva listened to a decent pair of headsets to know any different.   Im...

Most of my Music Files I have turned into AIFF (CD Quality) Files. Right now I own the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro's. Love the sound quality from those but was curious if I was missing anything, from lets say the DT990'S or the fairly new 3-D Printed Mr Speakers Mad Dogs I am considering...

I myself haven’t been extremely well-versed in writing reviews - but this is an attempt to provide the community with a review on a less well-known headphone, the AKG K612. I settled on this decision since I was looking to experiment more with the open-back sound (most of my cans have been...

I have a pair of AKG 612 being fed audio from an Asus DG sound card with it's own amp(three levels) and an O2 external amp. Up until now, I have been running the sound card at lowest output and using the high gain feature of the O2.   I did a brief test with the Asus card set to maximum and...

Please, allow me to run this by you for comment and criticism.   After research, here's my envisioned setup for gaming on a PS4: Astro Mixamp Pro 2013 Sennheiser HD598 Antlion Modmic   I was considering the HD650 at one point, but decided against it because I believe the Mixamp won't...

Hi guys, I've recently bought an AKG K612 PRO and I'm looking for an Amp to drive it. I want to know the differences and similarities between the HiFiMAN EF-2A and the Schiit Vali, their pros and cons and wich one best synergyses with my K612. Metal and Industrial are my musical tastes.

Hi guys, I want to make a transition to the full time audiophile headphones. They will be mainly used for Dolby Headphone gaming (Mixamp), but also for music. As for now I've narrowed my choices to these two pairs ( after reading few other threads and Mad Lust Envy's guide). As for the amping...

Hi guys, I'm new in this forum and I'm having a serious issue. Recently I have bought a AKG K612 and I'm not sure if my X-FI Titanium has enought power to amp these headphones, since those are some very hard to amp. Can the X-FI Titanium handle the K612 well or do I need to buy an external...

Hey guys,   Just sold my Sony V700 because they lack comfort and I'm now looking for some new headphones that are comfortable, with a good sound and extra-light.   From my search, I loved the full-size and open concept. Tried some Sennheiser HD555 and loved the way this kind of phone sounds...
