AKG K1000 Headphones

 

A key ring earbud case.

Possibly the best headphones ever made, offering stunning clarity and openness that few high-end loudspeakers can even match. Very well made and a brilliant design. Rare

Very expensive and require a powerful high-end power amplifier to be driven properly. Need a top-notch system to back them up, or they will sound quite ordinary. Not very comfortable to wear. No longer being made

Hard to find at this point, but a classic headphone that offers electrostatic-like clarity and incredible amounts of detail. Better than most high-end loudspeakers. Not the most comfortable headphone to wear, but worth the pain if you can find them.

The AKG K1000 is a completely open earspeaker. It scales extremely well with improving source and amp, I can say I've never heard a headphone that responds so well to the associated equipment. But you don't need to spend a huge amount to get them...

Bass Extension - It is quite well known that these cans are rolled off steeply after about 45hz, but for me this is not even noticeable for 98% of the music I listen too. Bass Impact - While the bass is rolled off the bass that is there is quite...
