adhoc Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Item: AKG K501 headphones Location: Adelaide, South Australia Price: $200 + shipping at cost Item Condition: Brand new in box, new old stock Reason for selling: Surplus to requirements - have moved on to a speaker based setup (KEF LS50W). Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal Extra Info: Legendary open circumaural headphone from AKG, best suited for jazz and classical music IMO - long out of production (>5 years), basically unobtanium for new in box condition. Yes, it is a little light in bass slam, but has excellent bass extension, and the most amazing midrange of any headphone I have tried (Grado GS-1000, RS-1, HF-1; Sennheiser HD600, HD580, HD650; Beyedynamic DT880, T1) Cannot emphasis how absolutely brilliant it is for jazz, classical, and folk music. Shines particularly well with female vocals. "Concert hall" soundstage - expansive. Never used, absolutely 100% brand new mint in box condition. But don't take it from me - this is what Head-Fi has to say: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/akg-k501.12425/ "True Classic" "Old AKG Flagship" ...etc etc you get the drift!
