for the AKG K-501The mid range on the K501 is to die for. Female vocals are especially sweet. If you need alot of bass ... both quantity or quality, please look elsewhere. Bass can be increased by replacing the ear pads with ones from the K601 or K701. Good treble extension. Incredible sound stage. Sound is neutral but engaging.
You will want a good amplifier with plenty of head room for these headphones. They love current. Lots of it. Comfortable self adjusting head band with comfortable ear pads. No longer in production and NOS stock seems to be depleted. Generally go for $150-$160 on the used market which makes these an incredible value.
Product Weakness: Bass. Look elsewhere for Rock headphones. Product Strengths: Vocals, especially female vocals. Classical and Jazz. Associated Equipment for this Review:
