from Budapest Summary: This headphone was the first high fidelity equipment I had, therefore I wowed to keep it and I am so glad I did it. I bought my used and I have it more than 8 years now. According to what was told to me this headphone must be over 15. It is still operating flawlessly. Never had any problem with it, although it was with me through the University and had some falls and drops. Last year my friend bought a new pair and we compared them, no signs of time...(in respect of sound). In one word, the most realible audio equipment I ever had, you can count on it, that's sure. Now, about it's "voice". I really never had any problem with it, but I got bitten by the upgrade bug and first I bought a Sennheiser HD-565 Ovation (they are here in my bookshelf with broken cables) and then a Sennhesier HD-600 (together with a very expensive tude headphone amplifier, both sold since then). Well, after buying the first Sennhieser I discontinued using the AKG, becasue the Sennheiser sounded so much better. Or not? I must have had some problem, otherwise I would not have bought the other Sennheiser I guess. Nevertheless after several years I happend to use the AKG again and then I understood what I missed. While both Sennheiser had much better bandwith, more air and more detail they were missing the excitment in the music. How I missed that! There was no point in listening to music, it was just boring. On the other hand the AKG is about music. And -in my opinion - that is what matters on the long term. So, if you see one, buy it. But be aware, the K-141 Studio is not the same as the K-141 Monitor. Strengths: - Very-very realible
- It does not sound hi-fi. It communicates music Weaknesses: - they have a bit too strong grip on the head, it could be more comfortable Similar Products Used: Sennheiser HD-565 Ovation
