... and yet another band wearing AKG headphones. As this is in b/w I am not able to determin the model, but ... It must be about 13 years ago now that my beloved surprised me with a pair of cans she carefully selected after what I was wishing for in headphones. Those are the legendary AKG K240 Studio, at thr time still made in Austria. I loved them. They are very flat, i.e. great for studio work and monitoring what I was building on my computer. Very robust, replacable cable and pads.
Then, through the years, I did experiment with a lot of other brands and makings, bluetooth, builtin bass amplification and what not. They all were short lived, broke after a while, and if it was just a non replacable cable. Even though some were significantly more expensive.
Then, almost one year ago, I bought new pads and cable for my old AKG, cranked up the equalizer's bass and ....., wow. I fell in love again. As they are flat I can chose which equalizatiin I do prefer right now and they are extremely hard to stress. They just tell me if my choices are stupid, but no fuzz, no distortion.
Yes, it is possible to love a pair of cans. ;)
By now I have  stopped planning forban awesome speakersystem. 95% of the time I am using my headphones anyway. I loved headphones since I was a teen, I discovered so much mire details even in the cheap ones I had back then. And I loved the intimate connection: just the music and me. No matter how daft or far-out or whatever, I am bothering noone and noone is bothering me.
While the K240 are semi-open and therefore not that good as mobile phones in a noisy environment, they are awesome in other situations. For example I can listen to music while talking to my beloved. Win-win for all.
The only disadvantage: they are very much in the way when we are hugging goodbeye when I am leaving for work. Well ... She always sais, they were glued to my head. But she's happy for me. She knows how much they mean to me,the freedom. And it might be surprising, but it is actually possible to take 'em off.
So I am planning to get a backup pair, the K240 Studio are becoming cheaper and cheaper. When she bought them they were almost double the price of today.
And AKG Professional has a new mobile studio line coming up. I am eying the K275. But not too soon. Also I want to read comparative reviews first. But I wonder whether they will come at all, they were announced un April 2017, then the old AKG Vienna labs were closed. By now they had several release dates. I just hope the new brand owner Harmann will not kill the professional headphone line, neither directly, nor indirectly. Sigh.
My beloved used to prefer Beyerdynamic for herself, I luked them, but do prefer the AKG sound. After her hearing changed she now also has got a pair AKG Professional sitting next to her. The K701. Also awesome, even more detailed and analytical than mine, but they expect more power than my phone can deliver. I sometimes nick them when at my writing desk and plug them into the amplifyer. There they are awesome.
But still, I am in love with mine, the ones she once chose for me. They give me freedom, independence and always a great sound.
And since I re-discovered them I see them in use by bands and radio speakers on YT quite often. Foo Fighters, Karl Bartos (Ex-Kraftwerk), ...
