Iappmusic 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) Hi Guys.I need some help from u experts esp akg fan. Recently broke my akg k26p & was thinking of getthing a new akg 81/518dj.Can someone tell me the difference compare btw this 2 akg headphone? K26p is really good compare to my previous sen px200 & sony mdr nc50.Wat i really like abt k26p is the bass & the loudnest.ise it for outdoors esp noisy place like in the trains,bus &street & its really good for isolation!.Read that k81dj is another popular portable headphone,will anyone pls share more detail with me if u gotta compare this 2 phone? Another one i have in mind is ath fc 7 but it seems like a lower sound quality compare to the 2 abv ? I listen to mostly rock,reggaeton,techno & r&b when im on the go outdoor & still using a pcdp cos i find its so much more detail then mp3/4 player.;p but it seems like pcdp is going on extinction on the market. Your help is greatly appreciated,Thanks! Edited October 30, 2007 by Iappmusic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stereo_Electronics 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Audio Technica ATH-FC7 is not as bassy and loud compared to the AKGs but definitely most comfortable. In terms of bass, no doubt the K414P (formly known as K26P) is bassier than the K81DJ aka K518DJ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for quality of sound between the both, personally think the AKG K518DJ is better but doesn't have the comfort most demand for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
