as regards the AKG K845BT... it is my current planned "next to get" headphone. I had the AKG Q701 and loved its light signature, and comments here make me think that the AKG K845BT would share that signature. Besides, it looks great. Only wish it had Apt-X!
I agree that the absence of Aptx was not a big deal, they surely sounded very detailed and clear.
I am confused, you said that you like rather warm than cold, and you chose the one which sounds rather cold than warm.
To me, the ATH sound more detailed, clean and clear, with better soundstage and it is much more versatile, being able to be boosted or deboosted with EQ in a way that the AKG cannot even dream about.
You can make the ATH colder with some subtractive eq, but you never get the AKG warmer. You can increase and decrease bass on the ATH as much as you want, but I have tried to boost the bass of the AKG and there was no response at all. You like it out of the box or bye bye, and if you happen to need more bass, you need another headphone.
I cannot name one single reason to prefer the AKG if not if you never use EQ and never want to use EQ no matter what, and you want a cold signature.
Because as said, the ATH do not boost the bass. They just respond to it very well when needed (a bit like what n00b2 say of the AKG; but LOT better).
The beautiful would be if you can get both and compare yourself
I like Fidelios too, they seem to provide the most balanced sound quality, price and design in one pack.
welcome to the thread!
Do you mean the fidelio m2bt or m1bt?
which other bt headphones did you try?
can i know how much did you pay and where?
I know all the tricks but they won't work for a headphones box. Far too big to post as a letter.
I guessed Spain based on the way you wrote your laugh in the previous post.
Also you are being far too harsh on the AKG. Bass isn't -1 on it. It doesn't boost bass a lot (though it is mildly boosted)
You will only feel it on really bassy scenes and at other times it's just there to complement the music and not really be noticed.
Pity. Here in Germany you can send something as letter if the dimensions are more or less 50x30x20, I do not remember, but surely more than enough for headphones (I did it). And it can be till 1 kg for sure, maybe more.
I do not find this possibility on the Australian DHL site, but you can try to contact them.
On the Australian post site I see that there a letter cannot weight more than 500gr. So, game over.
The cheapest parcel with tracking is 58ausd. Too much.
ja means yes in German.
But you are perfectly right. jajaja (as they would write it) is the laugh in spanish.
We must listen to really different kind of music and have really different tastes in matter of bass.
It is exactly on bass heavy things which for me the AKG are a complete disaster. Listen to Techno or dubstep with them iss like reading a recipy when you are hungry. You do not get satisfied. For me, I was hearing almost no bass on normal music, and just a bit bass on bass heavy music. For me this is not enough, I need a bit of bass on normal music and a lot of bass on bass heavy music.
Let's try this, how would you compare the bass of the AKG with the one of the UE, with and without EQ?
I could not compare the AKG with the ATH side to side, so I cannot say which one have more bass out of the box. I can only say that I would be extremely surprised if anybody would be able to find the ATH boosted out of the box. And similarly surprised if anybody would not find them the best bassy BT Headphone on the market in this moment, when using them with serious bass heavy music, and especially when boosting them with EQ.
So, this is for me a winner, something which can do more and better.
The ATh can doo all what the AKG do and better.
The AKG do less and worse or same way.
The difference for me is just for people who do not use EQ and are limited in their choices by what sounds out of the box as they want.
