I have a bit of extra cash laying around and was thinking about getting an AKG K271s cable replacement.
I was looking at the AKG K271s upgrade cable from Zu Cables and they look really sweet.. but expensive nonetheless! They cost almost as much as the actual headphones did!
Will the cost justify the improvement? Will they be totally new headphones as the price may suggest, or are they only adding slightly? I want real, unbiased answers to this question - I don't mean "slightly" better midrange clarity as being "a whole new headphone". Will bass be improved by any means? Will soundstage be enhanced? Will the detail be enhanced? Will highs be more realistic?
I mean, I might as well get new headphones if the cables aren't worth it, am I right?
Thanks in advance for any help!
