Havent Posted here in a while... But is there anything I can get on the market, with a slightly higher price and quality?

I used to have a pair of these. Quite cool, feels like there isn't anything better but I wanna prove myself wrong.

I was in the same boat, so I tried out the AT ES7s. Beautiful cans, but I ended up selling them beacause of the colored mids. I'm back to the K81s for indoor portable use.

i like the sound of the k518dj, but juz dun like it being supraural....now i'm juz looking for the cirumaural version of the k518dj....

Ok so do these headphone squeeze the ears? I got a big head. For comparison the AHS altec lansing 502i was killing my ears after some time. Are the K81dj any better than that in terms of comfort?

I just got a pair of these, mostly for rough use (riding the train into NYC); I use them with a Go-Vibe v5, an AOL Cryo line out, and an unmodded iPod, and I have to say they're a good bit better than I expected. I should get a whole new rig on Tuesday (Lisa III w PPL and Audio Technica ES W9's, and I'll do a brief comparo. The new stuff better be a *lot* better!

at last. Head-fi are coming back again...

hello guys, have any of you that succeed transplanting K81dj to another circumaural phones ? i'm looking forward to try a bigger pads (maybe from RP-21)...

 

[ishtob]

just ordered a k514, looking foward to it. I got the original k141, i love the sound but need something more portable (k141 is just way too big) but i love the AKG's sound.

hopefully these cans will be just as awesome.

 

[iQEM]

K514 ?! i guess what you've meant was K518dj...this cans is awesome, for their price...this cans is moddable, IF you like more cleaner SQ you can remove the foam inside pads, bluetak mod & last but not least, recabling em...just after you accept yours dont forget to burn-in em about 100-200 hours, it's improves alot from out of the box...

 

[norseman8485]

Wow, this thread just wouldn't die. Peopler are actually transplanting k81 drivers now?

 

[iQEM]

not yet actually transplanting, mate...it's great idea but transplanting to what ?

i prefer something most comfy than HD201 (but cheap)...

how about transplanting to this one (for example) ?

i found this:
HD-25 velour pads
and it's not that expensive either.

I just bought a pair of those pads... the shipping is only $5 ground for US

 

[hardstyler]

I will have to recable mine. I am losing sound on left side when moving jack around.

They are still great headphones. The bass punch never dissapoints.
Today I tested all my headphones with Arietta playing some bass heavy music and K81DJs bass was stronger than 990pro, only 770pro was better.
