Someone's selling AKG K-130 on EBay. But, the AKG website has nothing on it, and searches come up with little.

So well, does it even exist? If yes, what is it and how old is it and how is it?

Well, the first hit on google for "akg k130":

That isn't very telling. Looks like an old model though.

Yeah, there are other AKG headphone models not mentioned anywhere on the AKG site. The K250 comes to mind.

 

[ericj]

Yeah, that and the K4 don't even have a service doc online.

Come on, the K-1 is kinda clever.

It's the K-4 that looks darkly sinister.

I'm also noticing that apparently the pads on my K145 aren't what's depicted elsewhere. Hmm.

Lol! You are right. It is sinister.

So what does it sound like? The K-130, that is?

 

[skellington]

Wow, put some tinsle on the K1 and it would be a Christmas mobile. Does anyone have one?

Like thunder and lightening? There is a good saying "I am not rich enough to buy cheap stuff". It applies here. If you are not sure what it is, getting a good deal on it is NEVER good incentive to go ahead and buy it. Plus if I said, it sounds Supercalaespialyheadfiedeness, would you believe me? How about if I had an umbrella? Still no? Ok, well then better find the phones somewhere and listen them before buying. However, seeing it is an ebay auction, you must bid, bid, bid!!! It will be gone forever, oh no!! Erm, that is also a disease, partially related to head-fiedness...

 

[Seidhepriest]

Any idea what was the year of introduction?

 

[ericj]

From where it falls in the service docs, I'm guessing it dates to about 1982 or so. The K135/S seems to be a revamp of it.

As for the sound, of course I've never heard one, but I'm going to guess that it's similar to a K140 or K141-M.

Probably good mids, 'meh' highs, and little to no bass.

Where's Fitz?

I just don't do supra-aural AKGs. It's not my bag, baby.
