AKG's new reference: K550
K550 is one of the first impressions that it sounded very clean and almost like electrostatic (San transients). This is much better than S and K701 K701 ' so-called "synthetic" not sure clean tone. I also think that the tonal balance of the K550 S, will be better, more appropriate weight compared to low-end K701. Overall sound quite laid back, I do not consider that it plays well with the fast-paced music, but it is not nearly the same slow pace HD650.
It is not the perfect beats by dre headphones, K550 I think that, at the end of the market while in exceptionally clear, very smooth, you need some extra body. I understand that in the end adds somebody will compromise the clarity of the otherwise admirable sense and it does not work well with the overall sound of the K550. Another thing I want to add is a somewhat heavy low end body. I don't consider the K550 lack of bass, but more feeling good Grand Slam. I really don't whine about the pace of the headset. It is not for Thain company HD650/800 or Shure SRH1840 easily, but still relaxes. It is suitable for my music, most of the pace, but I would not recommend it as the main headset if you listen to something extremely fast rock and metal.
I reckon the AKG has successfully created a new base $300 beats headphones. You can even take the K550 and prefer Sony 'sZ1000. Shure SRH1840 or W1000X audio technology and K550 will still be very competitive.
The sound impression
From the AKG's new K550 sounds quite different from all other AKGs before release to the market. It rather does not share the same signature AKG Studio models (K240, K271 and variants), most have been discontinued full-size Monster headphones (K301-401-501-601-701), or any past their unique full size models (K340, K1000). Apart from minor housing reverb, I would say the K550 K701 is superior in virtually every respect. Music listens to the still remaining very linear and does not have too much color, sound very nice balance. Noise floor level is very low, result in a black background and a variety of excellent instrument separation.
Comparison of K701
I criticized K701 Studio is one of the things. Although broad, is not very accurate in the presentation. K701 Studio images, and weak center image is ambiguous. The K550 has improved in this area again 701 ' s performance, regardless of the fact that it is not very open deep K701 logging. Studio performance was solid possession of considerable width and depth. It is slightly narrower width than K701 ' s, but a lot of the deeper depths. Imaging Center image is accurate with a good consistency of the studio and the left and right. K550 may be more closed design, turn off the sound, but there surely is an improvement from the K701 Studio performance.
Talk about technical issues, in addition to the K550 is furthermore to improve the tonal balance, thus better balance and the sound of music. The K550 has a nice low end body, sound and feels well planted with minimal enough where K701 believes is mainly due to the lack of low-end weight was ambiguous. Slightly sunken K550 vocals, but more smooth vocals, lots separate from the rest of the instrument. Lack of food also helps to sound more smooth vocals, K701 sounds more obvious, despite the fact that rough more forward.
Finally, high frequency, K550 is more relaxed than the K701 forwards ' s relative highs. Black background, however, and perhaps likewise the K550 gives you the ability to better treble driver resolution I heard better at the top of the K550. It truly is the best of both worlds: a less glaring treble is an extension.
More comparisons
To move from typical Sennheiser HD650/600 K550, mind blowing how much more clean sound of sound is very noisy with the Senns K550. Bass Slam of HD600/650 I has been spoiled and it is difficult to adapt to something less than that (or even my HD700/HD800 of the complaints are the same: more bass drop), but this is a matter of personal preference, and technically the K550 is only HD600/650 in many ways than Thain.
Shure can charge its grainy sounding SRH1840 700 Yuan, K550 clearly stole $ 300. Shure not sounds more organic and more music to my ears, especially at the K550 s mid market moderately flat, sometimes makes AKG sound. However, when we talk about the clarity and technical aspects, and I will give the upper hand to AKG.
You can like him-500 planes to try to match the K550 ' s methodological issues, but even then AKG K550 still will be a lot better. Background is still the K550, sound, clean, and Studio imaging, accuracy, depth and coordinates all black was the Soviet Union
