I ordered a K 81 DJ from an internet shop. Today I received an e-mail saying the AKG K 81 DJ is no longer being produced and was out of stock. They contacted the AKG importer for my country and he doesn't have any in stock either. Has anyone else heard anything about this ?. As an alternative...

Hi, I'm looking for full-sized headphones under $50 dollars. I don't have any specific preferences other than that the headphones are glasses-friendly. I was thinking KSC 75 but not sure. So what are your suggestions? Thanks.

AKG K181DJ Impressions Two weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to recieve a K181DJ as a gift from a fellow Head-fi'er! YEAH! He sure knows how to make me happy! However, I havn't posted impressions about these headphones, because the first impressions were quite, um, bad. Really, bad...

Hey, currently I own a pair of Koss KTXPRO1 headphones which are giving out on me, the left headphone is starting to break. So I'm in need of a new set, but I'm not too sure where to look. My budget is around the $30 - $60 mark.   Genre-wise, I listen mostly to Hip-hop so headphones which...

Recently got my A700's and they are disappointing me in terms of how dull the mids and highs sound. The mids and highs sounded way better in my AKG K81 headphones with velour pads on them. When im listening to Vocal Trance the female and male vocals sound flat. Anything I can do to increase the...

Hey there, Head-Fi! I'm new here, so please forgive me if I've posted in the wrong section, but I'm desperate for some help. You see, up until about 2 weeks ago, I, as ashamed as I am to admit it, was a Skullcandy fan. Yes, yes, I know it's depressing, but now that my fifth pair has been broken...

I was just curious on which headphones are better on the low end frequency chart. I Didn't want to double post but this goes for IEM and over ear.

hello there! - long time reader, first time poster, looking for a bit of advice.   my favorite portable cans - equation rp-15mc - have died recently and are beyond repair (snapped plastic pivot)   unfortunately equation don't make these any more otherwise i'd get another set as they were...

  Hey I'm new to high-fi and well to real quality audio. I've always loved music but never had money to get real headphones.   I only have 50 bucks I've been looking at A LOT of headphones. I was wondering if you guys/girls could help me. This is the first good/decent pair of headphones...

  I am currently using Future Sonics Atrio IEM's and am looking for a pair of headphones under $120. I have some very specific requirements if you could please help me with this: - I listen to only Trance and Chillout/lounge music. I want deep AND textured bass, NOT the "one-note bass" or...

Hey guys,   I'm looking to buy sub $100 headphones, preferably closed-ear/around the ear. I've come across the AKG K81DJ, Shure SRH440, and Sennheiser HD280Pro as the more positive-rated ones. Which one would you choose as the best bang for your buck overall? Or is there a better sounding...

I've been pulling my hair out lately, trying to find the perfect cans. I just bought the Koss PRO DJ100's from BestBuy, and the Creative Aurvana Live's from Amazon (they're on sale for $60). Neither do what i was hoping they would do for me.   After hearing the Klipsch Image Ones at Best...

Hi, so, for the first 18 years of my life I've gotten by using whichever hand-me-down headphones made there way onto my ears.  Now I finally have some money and want to buy a good-quality pair of (relatively) cheap headphones but am in desperate need of help!  I primarily use headphones when on...

Didn't see much on these when I searched but L&M has them on for half price right now and I was wondering if it's worth it, anyone heard these cans?  Any impressions would be good as I don't have a great set of full-sized cans.  Don't have an amp as of right now so would I also need to purchase...

I realize this topic has been presented previously... but, with all the current interest in Grados by "nubees"... I thought it might deserve a "reprise." I read in a much earlier post(s) that you could increase the comfort of Grados headphones and tame their highs a bit by several...

Yes, the title explains pretty much everything. I tried the Sennheiser HD515's, and though the highs and mids are great the bass is lacking (when I listen to stuff like Bassnectar, Skrillex, deadmau5, or other stuff like that, bass is very important to me). I use the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000's...

  Hi !   Some days ago I read an old review of Stax HPs. Let me quote a passage that struck my imagination very much   I found it disorienting to slip the headsets on and be immediately transported into the acoustic of the chapel—which makes me wonder how the characters on Star Trek...

I have been listening to my K701 a lot lately and really appreciate its soundstage and smoothness. However, sometimes I feel a bit like it bleaches the music in comparison to my Dyn audio speakers, and even the tone of my K81DJ. Sometimes it feels like a forced neutrality even when the music...

After about 150 hours burn-in the bass of my k701... disappeared! I mean... untill now I didn't noticed any lack of bass but for 3-4 days I feel the overall sounding very, very "thin" and the mid-bass (50-200Hz maybe) is parceptibly missing. Has anyone noticed similar problem??

I'm looking for new headphones around this price range. Saw these 3 and am interested in all of them, mainly the JVC's because they look nice and are also so much cheaper than the other options. Bang for my buck here is key: are the JVC's the best choice or are there better choices around...

So, my grandma randomly decides to give me 100 bucks. Immediately I think about getting new headphones. I currently own the HD 201's and the AKG K81 DJ's for portability.   I specifically listen to Dance/Electronic music such as drum and bass, trance, happy hardcore, hardstyle, dubstep...

I used this forum back in the day to find a pair of headphones that suited me. I listen to Trance exclusively so bass is important. I was recommended AKG 81 DJ. That's what I bought. The sound was perfect. The cord was not. It's 8 ft I think. The time has come to get a new pair. I do not want to...
