I posted the following question in the Welcome back AKG K-501 !! thread:

I get the feeling that people have stopped looking at that old thread.
I would like to get an answer to this question since I’m itching to get a set of full size open phones. If the K-501s have considerable more bass than the Eggos I will buy the AKGs. If not, I think I’ll opt for the Alessandro MS-2s. Since there is a group buy for the MS-2s going on right now, time is critical (bah…but it looks like the group buy is dissolving as type this).
I mostly listen to Jazz…I just purchased a MisterX Pimeta…an iPod is the source.
Thanks.

How does the K-501’s bass compare to the Eggos (without the mod)? Are the k501s as bass-less as the D66s? |
