    Looks like the headphones i've got, AKG K550 right? How are you liking them? Great pair or cans for the money, only thing i find myself doing is pumping the bass up a little with an equaliser. I understand they're flat studio headphones but they need a bit more bass and they just come to life

    Yeah, exactly, very happy with them so far, I like accurate studio sounding gear, and then warm it up a bit with some tweaks to the EQ. Big drivers like these take about 250 hours to really warm up, from what I've read online.

    Yeah i read the same thing about how long they take to fully break in, Good job i keep falling asleep with my music on - Extra break in time


    I think i'm gonna stick with AKG and proper studio headphones from now on and try stay away from gaming headsets, the value for money for sound quality with those headphones is immense, i tested loads of different ones including some £250-300 Beats headphones (which sounded like a set of £50 cans, talk about paying for the name) and the AKG's just blew them all out of the water.


    You got a link to that amp you posted too? Looks pretty cool never seen one like that before.

    What do you mean with "warming up" for headphones?

    Didn't you own some Beyerdynamics? What's better about those AKG? Are they monitors? how are you amping them?

    These are for work, the others are at home the AKG's actually don't need extra amplification, they are 32ohm, but I got the bravoaudio amplifier to warm the sound up a bit and give me a real volume control.

    I was looking into that one actually, how do you like it? I got the 250ohm and my little amp kinda struggles to it juice.

    it's great, not that I'd tell the difference from other ones at that price, but it's well built and reliable. 3 or 4 people at Crytek have it and they all dig. It's rated up to 600ohm like just about every headphone amp ever.


    If you get it, don't freak out if it's getting hot, when it's warmed up it can be almost too hot to touch, but that's just what it does.


    You can replace the valve too, for ones with different audio characteristics, I'd only do that if it died though
