AKG K3003 High End 3 Way System Headphone

[the fool]

If one wants to buy this earphone, better buy it fast, because sooner or later this earphone will not be manufactured in austria, there are several k3003 made in china started to sell few days ago, looks like akg begins to shift the manufacture line of k3003.

Thanks Shotgunshane,

Being a fan of AKG K3003, i was referred by a friend to try out JH13fp. Some friends argue whether FP is really that good, hence the question.

As i read a lot of your posts, i trust your opions and taste. Thanks!

Go Habs go! Err maybe not tonight but anyways...

Pm if you have any questions regarding the k3003 as I recently owned them along with the Shure SE846.

The price already dropped by 300 Singapore $ here in local shops for those new batch which are made in China. The non-i version used to cost $1499SGD, now they are selling at $1200SGD:

Made in China? Hopefully the cable build & quality / reliability will improve.

Lol!

I had problems with my set. Hope they do improve the build quality because they're a most enjoyable earphone.

In the spirit of the sparrow (forever etched into our hearts and memories) I just figured out what the “i” in AKG K3003i signifies; Even more incoherent!

You're right! Nelson's knowledge about IEMs, music and gear really sucked, or so I've been told. Good thing Nelson was banned. Can't even find his profile any more.

For all of the 3003(i) enthusiasts out there, this, to me, is a fantastic pairing. Best portable sound I have heard thus far. I also know for a fact someone else we know and miss highly regards this combo.
