while i am loving my sr225 for slipknot and tool , it is not suitable for michael jackson. The grado is too bright for MJ music i feel. Any phones can bring MJ to life and has a cord long enough for me to do the moonwalk while listening? it will be great complement. i think the hd580 will do...

There are so far 3 versions of the K501 which have been presented on Head-Fi. The following versions are what I think is the order they came out as (oldest to most recent). Also these photos are not mine and do not remember who’s post I took these off of, but if these pictures are yours please...

Rank your headphones. Please rank your headphones that you own and use regularly. Please don’t list or rank headphones that you use to own or that you have tried. My goal here is to have a positive outlook ranking, not a product bashing list. I figure that if you own and use them, you must like...

Always been interested in these cans but it appears they are now discontinued. Does anyone know of any online retailers that still have some new ones for sale?

I am looking for an amp to drive my three phones: rs1i, hd600 and k501. I used to use ra1 for rs1i and corda arietta for hd600 and k501. However, I am somewhat tired of switching amps when I want to change phones. So I am looking for an amp which can drive all of them well to replace my two...

As above, are there any Low Voltage, High Current and Extreme High Power Amp can be suggested? Need an amp like this to drive a K501   Thanks

An informal poll of headphones with the best midrange: ATH-AD2000 Grado RS1 AKG K501 AKG K240(600oms) and other variants DT 48 (variants) EDIT: ESW9 & 10 Other (...) The Midrange Champion Is? So far in the thread, it's seems to point to the R10. Thought it would be the akgs.

My current headphones / IEM are: -AKG K701 -Etymotic ER-4P With this being said, I very much appreciate the detailed / balanced sound of these two products. While many people feel the bass may be light, the presentation works for me, especially when listening to bands such as The Grateful...

I'm looking for more great help from you guys!  The music I listen to most is Contemporary Jazz. I really appreciate the clarity, and accuracy of individual instruments. Bass needs to be solid, not too overbearing. Crystal-clear highs, and up-front mids are most important for instruments and...

I recently bought a pair of K500 here on Head-fi which came with K501 pads and need new elastics.  The K501 pads are scratchy and I've read about the bass increase with K601 pads so I contacted the e-mail for Harman International listed on AKG's website.  Unsurprisingly they directed me to an...

I just reeceived a pair of k500's that I bought for $50 off of eBay. They sound fantastic. To me, they don't lack bass like I've read about other AKGs. I played some of my bassiest music and it sounded very nice. It's not for bass heads though. I was wondering how these compare to the current AKGs?

Hey guys,   I just found a package deal of an old B&O U70 and a pair of Sony MDR-501 on eBay:   http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Headphones-sets-Sony-MDR-501-Bang-and-Olufsen-U70-/250661056397?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5c902f8d   I know the U70 isn't very good, but has...

I would like to know what people think are the top five best sound AKG cans ranked in order from top to bottom.  I would assume most would place the K1000 as #1 but maybe not everyone?  Lets see what you think.

Hi guys, i wanna start this thread as i feel the interest for the akg seem to be waning. Weird upper midrange? No bass? Mid range not as good as k501? (maybe but k701 still sound more enjoyable) Sounds plasticky? Look like toliet bowl? No matter what it is , i still love them. I bought them...

Hi all. New poster, longtime lurker. So a friend has offered me a low price on a pair of AKG K280s. They're about five years old, he says, but barely broken in. I've brought them home with me for the weekend, and I'm trying them out. Now, my equipment is hardly top-notch and my ears aren't as...

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

I'm looking for the closed cans equivalent of K501 w/ K701 pads. Let me hear your suggestions and impressions please. So far, after googling around I came out with the list:   1. Denon D2000 2. Beyer DT150 3. Kenwood K1000   others: Denon D5000 JVC DX1000   TIA!

Can anyone recommend which model Pelican case might be most suited to carry AKG K501, portable amp, maybe a few short cables (average, not garden-hose thickness cables) and a couple of 9V batteries? Or if a better suggestion than a Pelican case, that's good too.

My AKG K501s are getting lots of love recently. These have got to be the best jazz/newage headphones, even better in some ways than the DT880 to my ears. The highs are mellower and less analytical than the DT880, and those mids are just mind blowing. The bass lightness makes everything sound...

First off, I just want to say that I have been searching on the forum for years, but never really posted anything until now. So, please don't take my limited appearances on the forum make me seem like a know-nothing. I have over 20 years experience in hi-end audio. I have had big rig set-ups...

Classical Music Shootout: AD2000, HD650/600, K701/K501 (sorry, this is a very longwinded read) I’ve thought about doing something like this for a while, and now that I’ve accumulated a nice stable of highly regarded cans to play with, it’s fun to listen to them all and compare how they...

wondering whats the diff in the k500 vs k501 and k400 vs k401 ?   and what to pick if i wanna buy one of those ?

Well, I saw Duncan's Thread about Beyerdynamics and thought that we could do with an AKG thread. In fact, I'm just going to copy his post here and change a few things. ---------- Seeing that I may have been one of the (if not the main) starters of the current AKG FOTM, and seeing that...
