QUOTE(flurkoneko @ May 10 2012, 11:43 PM) Anyone here tried the K3003 yet? O: Yeap, I must say that its pretty damn good. And the filter swapping really changes the sound too. The bass from the dynamic drivers and the mids and highs from the BA are very coherent. The bass impact from teh dynamic driver is not like traditional dynamic drivers such as the IE8 where the bass is dark and aggressive, but complements the mids and highs from the BA's and they sound really good. Are they worth the Rm4xxx price tag? They do sound 'special' but i would still stick to my Westone ES5 customs for less then the asking price of the K3003. |

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Jun 4 2012, 11:38 PM) I would echo what Tyll of InnerFidelity and Mike of HEadfonia says about the headphone. The miss sounds dangerous close to being recessed, but in actual fact they are not. It just not as full-bodied as the other cans I have in my possession. Very revealing, resolving and coupled with my RX MK3-B and its bass boost, enough bass punch to my liking. Not as much as the D2000, but much more controlled and tighter. Build quality is SUPERB, it looks handsome and sturdy as well. The most important thing about the K550 is you must make sure the fitting is done properly. Any improper fit will result in audio regressing to sounding thin and harsh. I had to bring the cups forward and tilt it in towards my inner ear to get a good seal and proper fit to isolate nicely as well as getting the supposed sound signature. The headband is extremely comfortable, I had a listening session on the plane back from Tokyo this afternoon, I literally slept with the headphones on it, and not felt it. Supremely comfortable. For the price I paid for it, this is a better headphones than my previous D2000. I needed a headphone that is isolating, full circumaural and sounds as good as either my DT1350 or my previous D2000. I believe that search is over. For a good closed headphone, you should try the T5p from beyerdynamic too. This might go OT here, but we may discuss further in the Beyerdynamic thread. |

I just got the AKG K550 today and they sure do sound good. And they are really stretching the boundary for how good they can sound at their price point.
