The AKG K 81’s are a set of studio headphones for uses of all types (even though they say they are DJ headphones). I'll just say up front that I'm not a huge fan of these headphones, as they feel cheap and don't have a great sound. AKG apparently agreed as they are no longer making these headphones, although you can probably find used ones. The ...
I've been using the AKG K 55 studio headphones for about two years. These headphones are a favorite of a lot of engineers for monitoring while recording and for checking mixes on. They are built well and have a full sound overall. This being said, they are headphones and they don't have a huge low end presence. While they aren't isolation headph...
I have to say that I am blown away with these headphones. The sound quality is superb and beyond my expectations. I've rarely heard such clarity in my recordings. These headphones are a gem. On the other hand, because I don't use monitors in my home studio because of my neighbors, I still find that it's rather difficult to get an accurate mix. B...
The AKG K 121 STUDIO are very comfortable to wear and because of its style (fits around your ear) design, it blocks out a lot of the outside noise (especially when music is playing) and other people can't listen to what you are listening to.in your headphones. Then I discovered akg k 121 studio headphones, a name I had never heard of before. Ra...

I've been using it for over two years. I also have Sennheiser HD477 and HD215. I chose these headphones after listening to them one hour at the store. Pros: comfortable (also during long runs), even though I think there are more comfortable ones. It's a closed model but the sound comes through pretty loud. The cable is quite long. I had a prob...
The AKG K 240 Studio's are a set of headphones that are indeed intended for use in the studio. I've owned a set of these headphones for years as my Dad has had them for a while and now I'm using them in my home studio. We used to use them for simple listening purposes, but I've found them to be further useful in my home studio for a variety of...
The AKG K 501s are a set of studio headphones that I have used for monitoring purposes during tracking. While just from the feel of these headphones you couldn't tell that these were something worth using due to the fact that they aren't the sturdiest, but the K 501s pack a big sound for sure. Don't get me wrong, they are definitely more than ...

The AKG K 1000s are a set of studio headphones that are extremely high quality and just as rare as any set of headphones out there. The headphones have an extremely unique shape and a crystal clear sound quality that is hard to match. Since these are no longer made and are very rare, they are extremely hard to find and are quite expensive beca...
