Big 5 db drop in the midrange starting at 2.5k up to 10k.
How did you measure this?

Didn't have to. That's what the frequency plot in the user guide showed.

Oh, well if they showed that as a dip, they probably smoothed over the
really embarassing stuff. I wouldn't believe a published frequency
resonse plot for any electro-acoustic transducer unless it was from a
reliable lab test. But if you didn't like the way they sounded for
your application, that's what counts. You DID listen to them didn't
you?

Yes and I also found that the low end had a kind of strange quality that
I attribute to the drivers being further from the ear (about 1') than
the Sony 7506 where the drivers are much closer to the ear.

For the kind of work that I use head phones for, dialog recording for
film & TV, a dip in the midrange just dosn't cut it.

Why not buy both. I'm sure you can buy the pair for $150.

Yeah but how do they sound? Which model?


I was presented with a pair of the new AKG phones. Altough they are more
efficient than the previous models, you still need a VERY healthy amp to
push them. Like the closed backs and auto cut-off switch though.
