AKG K450. AKG Acoustics K 701 headphones. Oh mama, was I ever excited when I heard rumors of the existence of AKG's K 701!
If you're among the audiophiles who sneer at those of us who like headphones, you're probably rolling your eyes and thinking I must lack a rich inner life. But hold on there, Skippy—some of us use those cans in our prosumer studios, in recording sessions, and even in barn-burning late-night critical listening sessions where we employ ancillary equipment that would beggar your jaded high-end sensibilities. We're not talking about the three-buck, upchuck disposable 'phones your friendly flight attendant flogs before your in-flight main feature.
We're talking about serious tools that can reveal a flea fart in a cathedral. Well, some of us are. Yamaha RH5-ma, best sleeper of 2009? Well I wrote another somewhat lengthy post and somehow it ain't here.
Anyway... Notes and such... WARNiNG: Be careful with the stubs of the forks that hold the cups. I broke one off and have to superglue it back now and hope that works. HeadWize Library - Projects.
