NotoriousBIG_PJ Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 .. and I don't know what AKG was thinking when they replaced the K1000s with this new "top of the line". They were thinking, hey lets make a headphone that doesn't look retarted so we can sell a whole lot more. Biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkam Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Is a headphone that closely resembles a toilet bowl really better than a retarded looking headphone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Is a headphone that closely resembles a toilet bowl really better than a retarded looking headphone? dude it looks like an ipod, its white like a white ipod. white is better then most other headphones, which are usually black. rasizm, damn. for one reason or another the k1000 didn't make them enough money to continue manufacturing it. they look like they would be comfortable as hell on my head though.

NotoriousBIG_PJ Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Is a headphone that closely resembles a toilet bowl really better than a retarded looking headphone? Yes, I would rather wear an i-toilet headphone then strap 2 speakers to my head. Biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I've now sent them out to the new owner. I won't miss them in the slightest. I listened to them a lot before I made the decision to sell and they were unbelievably dull. They couldn't capture the emotion of the music like good headphones can. Also lacking in dynamics, and just boring to listen to. I did a few K1000 vs K701 comparisons and the K1000 was just so much more involving to listen to. Where's the K501 sound that I loved when I heard them in NYC? IMO the K501 are truly mini K1000s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the K501 are truly mini K1000s. this statement does not help my wallet. i fucking love my k501 and hate the k701. i need to hear a pair of k1000s...

Keep in mind I heard the K501 for a very brief time at a hifi audio store (probably spent about 20-30 minutes with it) so my statement might be romanticizing the K501 (most average to good headphones should sound good in a short audition, the K701 did to me). And it was playing out of a McIntosh integrated amp with Arcam CDP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
