LaoMao 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 Hi, All I'm new here ! It seems not too many membes talk about AKG headphone here... I personally had quite a few pair of AKGs, Grados, Sennheisersand others... Honestly, My favorite cans is still AKGs be it a Studio K271, or a very cheap K66. There are obvious sonics difference. But they are all very clean and accurate cans. When driven by an appropriate headphone amp ! Although the K271 is not a very comfortable headphone for long minutes (not even hour !) listening, the K501 is good ! Most of my Sennheiser to me is too sweet sounding, to be real. If one looks for an honest cans. I think the AKGs shouldn't be overlook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voxel 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 Hi, The akgs I have owned are K501, K240DF, K1000. They are very low-efficient headphones with great vocal and classical music playback. Also the least fatigue-causing dynamic headphones I know. I had an audition of 271S and 240M in asia sound this afternoon. A cyrus cd (7?) and integreated amp were used to drive both headphones (maybe unfair to 271S due to its low impedance). The 240M has a full-bodied sound with more bass than 240DF (however a bit dull compared to DF). I don't like the K271S much: the sound is too clean and too oppressive perhaps because of the closeback design. hope that some comments could be given by other 271s users Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe in the next meet you should come along & allow us to sample your K271. No problem, I'm even willing to let everyone listen to it with my headphone amp. I designed it myself. And I don't copy anything published on the net. I didn't know, cans afficianados in Singapore has regular meeting ! Interesting ! Please let me know, I'll prepare some hardware in advanced !
