How about a dumbed down version. Close to the K1000 abilities but easier to drive.. And a 1/4 connector. Sell for 899.00.


thats basically what im hoping for with a more modern headphone design instead of the grills.

Yeah, who knows how high the price will go before people stop and say, "Wait a second, I can get better for less..."?


Yeah, its a good headphone but imo it isn't that good. (not $1700 good)

Sure hope not!
Cause the speaker amplifier requirement, and the 4-pin XLR plug, is a major reason why I prefer the K1000.

I think the he60 runs circles around it in many ways. I'm not saying the K1000 is bad, as once I can affords one at the price I want (not much more then $1000), I will purchase one. Otherwise I don't fell there worth the money (I also take into consideration that a good amp will be neaded that will generally only be used for the k1000).

From a purely hypothitical synopsis. What if it sound the same in every possible way. Would you care one way or the other?

It can't be driven by the Signature 30.2, so its not for me...

Just purchased a pair of K1000s for $1200...brand new in shrink warp. Should I open them or keep them few years without opening?

Anyone know how much they were worth about 2 or 3 years ago?

I obviously just joined here but I already own a pair of AKG K701, HD650, HD280, and a tube amp (not going to power the K1000s I guess).

I agree, these products are created to be used and enjoyed. Take care of them and they should retain their value.

Fair enough. Though for many ond head-fi it would be welcomed with open arms.
