AKG High Performance Closed-Back DJ Headphones - K181DJ
Somebody said they were going to send me some headphones for me to check out. When I opened the box, I saw these cheap headphones and I was like WTF? Well, it turns out these headphones are pretty darn good. It's a supra-aural design meaning the pads go over the ears.
There are two bass boost switches, one on each earcup. The bass boost is actually tastefully done and doesn't intrude into the mids. I prefer the headphones without the bass boost. Yeah, decent plankton too. This headphone is definitely a competitor around the $125 arena. I should keep this headphone around to compare against the other headphones in the cheap headphone comparo: http://www.changstar.com/index.php/topic,2013.msg54989.html#msg54989
I'll pass this to Ultra / OJNeg. Measurements below. Not bad, eh. The headphone sounds a bit warmer than measurements would indicate. I didn't have any subjective issues with the treble.
spoony:
Yep, Solderdude also recommended this pair on his website.
Deep Funk:
This has been my favourite portable headphone for years. Solderdude measured my K181 last year.
If you do not like the HD25 or Pioneer series this AKG is one of the best picks. Not the most comfortable yet the sound makes up for it.
Also AKG applies its proprietary detachable cables with this headphone which gives you extra options.
gelocks:
Yeah, I think Massdrop had these up for sale a bit ago... Bass switches... maybe Sennheiser is on to something.. ... :p >:D

That's a good way to think of it. I did not like HD25 because of its stridency. This is a good headphone for workplace.
