Could someone post some impressions about their synergy with a desktop amp like Solo, Canamp, GS-X, Burson...?
Is Axe music reliable????
Wow that is unfortunate! I actually don't use the website to order since it's faster for to go to the store for me. I wonder if you could phone and order that way.
Seriously, if you enjoy your headphones and don't hear anything objectionable about their sound, stop worrying about it. This is another type of placebo - you might now make yourself hear these resonances even though they might not be objectionable to you in the first place (everybody has different ears).
...but
if you really want to hear them, I'd say the solos on Slayer's "Reign In Blood" are a good place to start.
but... I got your suggested recording (japan pressed version),, and i listened carefully to it, but found no trace of any resonance, may be i don't know what i'm looking for,, or that i'm becoming deaf (this is not discardable, but i think i still notice very subtle detailts with other music that i usually listen, trash metal is not definitively my favorite genre). I've compared the sound with some of the other headphones i have (Sennehiser HD 25, Sony ZX700, Creative Aurvana Live), and besides the usual differences between these headphones, i've not found a negative result relative to the AKG in this aspect. In fact, the CAL is the headphone i found that produces some kind of resonance.
Note that i don't claim there is not resonances in the headphone, only say that i'm not able to notice them (that can be good for me,, or bad, as i'm missing a lot of other positive things in the headphone).
Their site is screwed. I tried ordering twice, the way I always do, and I keep getting error message/declined. I'll look somewhere else to see if I can get the same price.
Thanks
electromundo , te spanish site also has many claims at their facebook fan page. I emailed Axe and they told me they only ship to Canada..
Hey, this might mean that you have one of the better models out there (there is anecdotal evidence that suggests that AKG has revised the K550 and newer models have fewer resonance issues) or that you are simply not sensitive to driver ringing in these frequencies. Either way, you should be happy and enjoy ypour great headphones. For me, those solos were so piercing that they were physically painful to hear. Obviously, they are actually supposed to sound harsh but with my other headphones, I didn't feel physical pain
Is the best buy $240 still going?
I'll be in the US by next week. Miami, FL
550 vs. MrSpeakers Mad Dogs for best closed headphone?
