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.
All the engineers are making new designs at Austrian Audio, now.
