Leakage is very moderated, but isolation is definitely one of their strongest points.

How good the AKG Tiesto lineups K67 K167 K267 compared to the old offering (K518 & K181) and other competitors (V-Moda, AIAIAI TMA1, Shure 750DJ 550DJ)??
 
Do they still retain tight , hard hitting bass?
 
thanks in advance

 

[miow]

There's no comparison to the K181. A "just bass  bass bass" can, to a very detailed, refined can worthing $300 sound wise.
 
The TMA1's are way too dark and don't have these levels of detail/resolution. They're really good for the price though, but are no competition for the K167s.

Does anyone know if there's an extension cable included? I will get mine today hopefully and confirm

 

[miow]

No, there is not

 

[alpha10]

So, why does the specs mention:

Cable 1.2 – 5.5 m (3.9 – 18.0 ft) coiled cable

That's how they usually specify length of a coiled cable, relaxed and fully stretched. as you see it only says "coiled cable" afterwards. I don't like coiled that much when sitting at the comp only but yea I can easily exchange it if needed, the cable feels so clumsy when it's coiled and haning over the table end in the air it adds to the weight of the headphone quite a bit.

 

[miow]

Yeah, thats it ; )

These phones have the best treble I've heard. Period. If you're a jazz lover, these are for you.

Seems like they did a bad choice of marketing to market these as DJ headphones, many people will overlook them for that reason even if they could have been a very nice option for people looking for a more balanced experience typically for jazz, blues, orchestra, acoustic music etc.

Yeah, I totaly agree. Concerning bass and just to clarify (after 24 hours burn-in) they have plenty of bass, but not overwhelming or boosted. They are definitely a balanced can for audiophiles, with very good bass, that offers impressive detail and outstanding treble.

Any comparisons between the 167 and Beyers would be appreciated.
