Hey all, I’ve narrowed it down to 3 options: AKG K371 (at €149) AKG K361 (at €104) AKG K182 (at €69)
Use case is just at my desk. I have CX Wireless for on the road and wireless listening.
I like a full low end and defined, crisp highs. I mostly listen to soft easy listening like Mazzy Star or rougher rock bands like Evanescence, Bad Omens etc. I also listen to melodic electronic music.
I’ve read a lot of reviews and I can’t really decide on the soundstage. For this I’ve chosen AKG because I have the K512 mk2’s now and I’ve been very pleased with them.
As for comfort, I need them not to clamp after an hour or two. I don’t mind having to pause every now and then.
Any other recommendations welcome.
But bottom line, I think 69 for the K182 is a great deal even though the K3x1s might be better cans.
At 150 you could get some M50x Audio Technica’s. I’m wearing my second pair, totalling up to 10 years of listening on them, and I love them! Never had to take them of bc of discomfort, only heat during summertime in my non-ACd house.
