In Reply to: AKG K1000's are discontinued, but great for those with a stereo setup they already like. posted by orpheus on September 1, 2011 at 19:51:28:
K1000's (my personal favorite) are great. Some would even say they beat out the most expensive electrostatic earspeakers or headphones on the market - especially as an "all around" performer. However, the K1000's are dipoles and so they can fall a little short on deep bass at times. They sound pretty solid down to 40 hz. or so, and are like the headphone equivalent of a high quality standmounted monitor that requires a subwoofer for deepest bass. Electronica, pipe organ, or Rap music are not always well served by the K1000. Because of deep bass limitations, they may not be the top pick for "best all around" headphones. I am lucky enough to own a pair of the "bassy" K1000's (low serial numbers, boosted bass compared to later production) and I feel that low bass output is barely strong enough to cover certain recordings. Bass quality is superb but bass quantity is slightly lacking.
