Hello everyone,

This is my first post on Head-Fi and I just wanted to say that I now get it...

I just unboxed a set of AKG K-240 MKII's and plugged them into my home studio. I fired up "Recknor" (Apple lossless) by Radiohead and WOW!! These things put my Senn PX-100's and Numark DJ sealed cans to shame. Not only are they comfortable, but the sound quality is amazing compared to what I've been used to.

There really is a difference in high"er" end cans. I'm going to have to go through some of my half-done music tracks and mix them down again with these new puppies.

Sorry about the irrational exuberance, but I'm really digging these!

Just remember: take a step back when you start listening to your equipment and not your music. It's a slippery slope!

You're screwed. Resistance is futile. You can never go back. Time to buy some Grados!

 

[Luminette]

yeah, your wallet is doomed

Listen to 'All I Need' on some Denon D5000s

And so Head-Fi claims another victim.

Let us all hold a moment's silence to honour the passing of SoulSyde's wallet.

Welcome to Head-Fi

 

[Suntory_Times]

It's all part of the plan.

Resistance is futile!

investing in headphone gear is at least safer than the stock market atm

Oh your F'ed now.

Well now you got your "cans" but now you need to buy an amp, and then you will have to futz around with cables. Kiss all your money good bye!

I've heard that it's a good idea to break in headphones when they're new. Is that true? If so, is it as easy as playing music at a moderately-high volume for a few days?
