4 out of 5 stars AKG K24P Headphones - Good Bang for your Buck.......2007-09-22

I recently purchased the AKG K24P headphones after my stock Sony Earbuds broke. There are always good and bad things about every product you'll buy - so, you have to weed out all the useless crap you might read that are written by consumers vs. audio equipment professionals.

Musical Preferences: Jazz (vocals and instrumentals), rock, alternative, world, popular, bossa nova, techno, and classical. I'm not into metal or country. I own a nice home stereo system (Aragon power amp, Magus tube pre-amp, California Audio CD Player, Acoustic Energy Speakers).

Product Description: The AKG K24P headphones have semi-open speakers, foldable, and a metal headband. The appearance is on the "cheap" side - made mostly of inexpensive/lightweight plastic. The cord leading to the separate headphones was unusually twisted out-of-the box. The cord does have a 90 degree plug (a plus), but no built in volume control (a negative, because some songs are louder than others). As others have complained - the metal headband is too tight out-of-the box. The headphones hurt my ears after about 5 minutes. No big deal. I just bent the metal headband and they are fine now. The headpones are on-the-ear types. They do not go around the ear like circumaural headphones do. Circumaural headphones and in-the-canal insert-type headphones do a better job of sealing out background noise. The headphones have a sensitivity of 125 db - which basically means they're pretty efficient. In other words, you won't need much power to make the music loud. Works great on my laptop and on my IPOD. On my laptop - I had to turn the volume almost all the way down.

I broke the headphones in for 75 hours using randomly played songs through my IPOD.

Listening Impression: The headphones are fairly neutral. By that I mean that it doesn't appear to favor or emphasize any part of the music per se. For example, my Sony earbuds were very "bright" or "tinny"; which emphasized high pitch notes. I characterize the sound of the Sony earbuds as being very "harsh."

The AKG K24Ps definately have more bass than the Sony earbuds. It was a fairly clean, punchy, but still somewhat lightweight for bass notes. If you're heavy into the beat of the music - you'll probably like other headphones better.

The K24Ps midrange response is very good - so, vocals are really nice to listen to.

Imaging: I have never found headphones that image as well as a good set of speakers. By "imaging", I mean that if you close your eyes and listen to the music - you can tell where individual instruments are playing or where the vocalist is standing. My Acoustic Engergy speakers do an awesome job with this (assuming that the quality of the recording is good). I haven't found a set of headphones that can image well. I believe the reason is because proper "imaging" requires reflections off surfaces in your listening area - and that sounds must arrive at each ear w/ small time delays. I know I'm getting to technical here - so, feel free to skip this part.

Bottom Line: The K24Ps are very good headphones for the money. I paid about $25 including S&H. They definitely outperform my Sony Earbuds. I don't know how durable these headphones are because I've only had them for a month. I give this product 4 stars because they don't sound nearly as good as my Acoustic Energy Speakers. I would characterize the K24Ps as "smooth" and easy to listen to. If you're heavy into bass, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a fairly neutral set of headphones - then look no further.

I wanted to buy this headphones for a while everytime I stopped by jandr store
and finally I bought one
plugged into my pda to play some music, seems it has very good bass effect (I couldn't judge the sound due to excessive noise on the street)
when I listen audio files on the computer (160-192kbps ogg vorbis), I am pretty impressed for the excellent sound
the bass can go to very deep and clean without muffling the entire sound, mid
and high are pretty clear and easily distiguishable every details
the headband is like Koss Potrapro, that you need to extend before putting on
I personally like the sound of the headphones, and also suitable for serious listening
bass lovers will like the clean, resonance-free bass
I give 99/100, no main complain (I just wish it has 6.3mm adaptor and earpads)

5 out of 5 stars Thank amazon customers for the recommendation. 4.5 Stars.......2007-06-18

Because these headphones are quite possibly the best i have ever owned. Not only is the bass unbelievable rich (not just booms that overwhelms the rest of the sound spectrum). These headphones are clear from highs to mids to lows. Now i'm not an audiophile but i've heard things on my 123kbps mp3 files ive never heard from my past headphones (Sennheiser px350, sony, koss, etc.). Get these headphones, you wont be disappointed! Im not giving it 5 stars because these headphones feels a bit flimsy and a bit uncomfortable for jogging, but other than that, theyre great.

5 out of 5 stars AKG K24P.......2007-05-13

Portability, imaging and comfort are stellar on this headphone. I've always been a sennheiser fan and have been looking for the experience that
I had when I first listened to the HD414's. Having recently aquired a reissue of the HD414 I can compare the AKG's and the sennheisers's and
the AKG's win hands down, in particular in the imaging and bass. Sennheiser wins in comfort and timeless design. Highly recommended headphone, for a little over $30.00 (!!!!)

3 out of 5 stars Great Sound; Poor Comfort.......2007-02-09

I purchased these as an upgrade to the ear buds that came with a newly purchased MP3 player. I cannot fault the sonics of these headphones as they are clearly the best inexpensive 'phones that I have ever heard. That is only part of the total picture with headphones; comfort is another very important consideration. That is where these headphones suffer from a poor design. They are uncomfortable to wear for any length of time due to the metal band and the 2 adjusting clips that protude against the wearer's head. If they would re-design the headband and clip assembly, this would be the best inexpensive headphone on the market. As it is now, if you can stand to wear them, they sound awesome. My star rating reflects the comfort of the 'phones not the sonics.

      W22 On-Wall / In-Wall Compact Speaker - Black Oak

      Product Description

      Looking for hi-fidelity sound that doesn't take up any floor or shelf space? The new W22 provides the kind of transparent, neutral, wide-range sound you expect from Axiom, without any of the compromises that plague other in-wall speakers. Other in-walls rely on the wall cavity to tune the bass output, resulting in a speaker whose performance varies from wall to wall and room to room. Additionally, the drivers' rear output produces distorted sound in the neighboring rooms. Overcoming these drawbacks, the W22 features a fully integrated enclosure that recesses into the wall, combined with an attractive exterior baffle portion that keeps the speaker's woofer and tweeter away from the sound-degrading effects of the wall's front surface. The speaker ports are cleverly hidden at the base of the outer baffle. The W22 on-wall/in-wall hybrid speaker preserves the sonic clarity of its bookshelf equivalent, the M22, and adds a slim profile that is a perfect complement to today's modern low-profile plasma and LCD TV screens. The dual 5 1/4-inch aluminum cone woofers enable louder playback levels and greater power handling in larger rooms. A supplied self-clamping frame anchors the speaker firmly to the wall when the screws are tightened. The series is available in a variety of attractively-finished front baffles to suit any decor.
