Hello,
For my portable rig I have a pair of AKG K26 P's...IMHO after listening to them for several months now I can not say I am enjoying them. To start with the build quality leaves much to be desired, they feel very fragile in hand. Then there is the comfort or lack of in any case. There is 2 pads on the self adjusting band that press into your head, also as I walk the band makes a creaking sound that really effects the quality of the music.
Sound wise, they seem to really be lacking in the mids, and highs...They have plenty of bass. After listening to my Sen's and my Grado's when I get in I just find it hard to listen to these AKG cans, they just don't compare.
So I started looking around and I came upon the Beyerdynamic DT 231, there non foldable but still a sealed can, which I guess I need...I will be listening to these at work (but only during breaks, so either in the noisy lunch room or outside when I go for my walks)
Has anyone herd the Beyerdynamic's and what is your impression? Also if you don't think these will be any better then what I have now, what are some further recomendations...I prefer to stick to conventional headsets, as oppossed to IEM's or ear buds (ouch)
I also like the one side cable entry of these Beyers, the cable on the AKG K26 really sucks, it always twists up to my neck.
..::EDIT::..
Forgot to mention music style...I mainly listen to classic rock, rock, alternative rock
Thanks in advance...
Dennis
