I bought a pair of AKG K240 like 2 years ago and I'm not satisfied with the sound, I regret investing in the whole open back thing. I always used cheap closed back headphones so I thought open back weren't going to be such a problem for me, but I was wrong. I can't focus on the music and every...

I recently bit the bullet on this set of headphones that I've been wanting to get to know for a long time. I found a great deal on a set missing badges... after talking to the seller, they actually had badges and sent me 2 left badges to glue on if I wanted to. A little suspect, but ok. I...

Hello, I have never owned a pair of serious over-ears, but can't stop thinking about picking one of these up at the current low prices. I'm interested in what I have read about the K553 MKii sounding as close to a balanced open-back sound you can get in a closed-back design, but I can't figure...

Yesterday was a bad day. The left driver of my beloved k240s (that dad had bought in the early 80s) died. Unfortunately the cable is in good condition and the radiators are still intact. I removed the driver, tested with other cable/source and yup, it is pretty much fried. The right one still...

I've been looking for an appropriate amp to match my AKG K702 for a while. My current DAC/Amp is Teac UD-503 which provides a quite cold, detailed sound with slightly weak bass. It could be much satisfying if the sound could become a bit warmer while the budget is around 500USD. Schiit...
