Hi there   I have owned a bass heavy pair of K1000s for a while now and have been completely happy with them. Unfortunately the right driver picked up a distortion on deep bass notes so i sent them to Germany to have them fixed. I bought 2 new drivers to keep them balanced and I'm glad i did...

I have had the K1000 for a few months now and have been using it unamped. I must say I was really amazed what it could do even without proper amping. Suffice to say, the K1000 might give you very fast fatigue and they will really benefit from proper amping. It is actually pretty scary to...

Hello, I am often on the road and am looking for a good amp to take with me and my AKG k1000. is there such thing ? if so do you have any experience?   thank you very much.

Hi   Just for fun, i tried connecting the K1000 directly to the RCA out of the DAC Magic. I was expecting the sound to be very brittle and harsh but to my suprise, it is not harsh at all. I can hear some distortion but the sound is pretty decent and audible. I also find the sound to be very...

What can I say, they're not even my headphone of choice, but there's no doubt that these are a very special and capable phone. Every serious head-fi'er needs to own and live with these phones for an extended period. Sure they're picky, and they have their sonic signature which needs the...

I was reading a few other threads and it got me thinking what would be my perfect headphone experience. It would be great to see what the rest of you guys have as your audio nirvana.   Currently have:    Home: PC --> Corda Cantate --> HD600 (w. cardas) / AKG K701   Portable: iPod...

Have at it folks. Previous discussions I have read seemed to nominate the HD600.   Thanks, Sam

Hi! One of my local dealer (has good reputation, official AKG warranty etc) has K1000 for 550$ (it's NOS as they say). I was wonder - how K1000 models differ. I read about early & later models. What are the differences between 'em? 

Hello   I have the chance to buy my first serious pair of headphones, because I have something to celebrate.   The AKG costs 850€ and the Stax 650€ with the SRD-7 Pro amp, both aprox. and shipping included.   I don't know what to choose. I would like the one that is less harsh and...

Dear all,   I'll soon have a AKG K-1000 headphone. I don't know how it could work with what I have at home : - SOHA II, - Cyrus one - Charlize2   In case the AKG does not work with any of them, are there known decent fits for the AKG around let's say 200-400$ (second hand) ?  ...

I noticed another member of this team of ELITES. Who else is a member? membership requirements are as follows: -digs AKG house sound

MBQuart QP250. I'm done. Here is my headphone history: Sennheiser HD600 -> AKG K-1000 -> Etymotic ER-4P -> Grado SR-225 -> Grado RS-2 -> Grado RS-1 -> Grado PS-1 -> Audio-Technica ATH-L3000 -> Sony MDR-R10 -> AKG K-501 Also, I've listened to: Sennheiser: 595, 650 (balanced and not with...

I'm looking for some new headphones. I don't know exactly how to describe what I'm looking for but the following qualities should be of use:   Soundstage depth, not width Imaging? Spaciousness? Rich lower extension (no, I'm not a basshead)? Surround sound Full sound? Immersive...

Looking for an amp such as a Burson HA-160 to be able to power many kinds of headphones including my pair of Denon AH-5000's, and others like Sennheiser HD800/650, T1's, etc.

You have got to be kidding me!! AKG K1000 for $400???!!! 4/13/2002: HeadRoom has the AKG K1000 headphones on sale for $399 US (regularly $529) accidentally found it while searching for something else: HeadWize - 2002 Announcements

I first want to say that, if the answer to this question is available on this forum, I apologize for not finding it. I am trying not to be one of those that asks the same question that has been asked a thousand times. I think that I am simply overwhelmed by the amount of info on the K1000's. I...

For a long time I am a happy headphone listener until I... hear some really good audiophile speakers. Sure the headphone gives me more details but they sound very unnatural after listening to speakers. This is from hearing from the exact same CD (song Shima Uta). No matter if it was using my...

Tell me if I'm crazy if you want but these 701s are good. (I haven't heard the 1000s).

i think it would cool to set up a little registry of all the current k1000 owners on head-fi. This is a direct rip off of the other ones like the HF-1 registry. Lets see whose got the oldest and newest pair! ill start #04063

I'm an undergraduate working in the physics program at Brigham Young University.  We're trying to find a set of headphones with almost no direct sound attenuation.  Research similar to ours has already been conducted by another research group using the AKG K1000 and we would like to use the same...

I have both the HD650 and the HD600. I am wondering other peoples comparisons between these two headphones. I'm sure there are tons of posts on the subject but from what I've read it depends on who you ask. My 650 are well burnt in and sound good and my 600's are a few days old and require...

I have a pair of K1000s, which I'm powering with a class BD integrated amp (the TBI Millenia MG3).  Currently it sounds way too bright, and the only way I can really make it listenable is to do major EQing, which I'd rather not have to do.  I'm hoping I can solve or at least diminish the problem...

OMG Its amazing. You'l get massive soundstage. Treble will increase slightly, and bass decrease slightly, but the sound becomes so open. Wow, the pictures tell it all really:

Hi,   I own a AKG K-1000 driven by a SOHA II amp and DIY Monica DAC. IU'm quite happy with that rig, but do not really achieve an "out of the head sound stage. It is less "in the head" than with my other headphones. Up to now, I just decided to listen to the music.   I would like to go...
