They're not very comfy either, so when I did use them for hours my head would hurt at the end, unless I wore them loose enough to where they would slide off. As a person who wears glasses they never sealed well on my head, so the low end was really quite sub par. I really don't like the AKG 550, so deffo not looking to replace with newer versions. My amp, cd player and speaker have a combined value of 4k+ RRP when new, so it's understandable that the 550 (€140) and a Chinese tube amp (€120) can't compete. I haven't used this in some while because compared to my hifi setup it's just completely sh*t in all aspects. Pondering a new (desktop) headphone setup at the minute as I sort of miss the days where I could prop my feet up on my desk, throw on the cans and just chill without the outside world invading my listening (or sleeping which was usually the case in the evening sessions!).Ĭurrent and unused setup is AKG 550 mk1 paired with an Aune T1 mk2 (with upgraded tube).
