AKG K272 HD Review

Quick review of the AKG K272 HD. I could never find a descent video review of these and wanted to post one. I truly LOVE these things, and DEFINITELY recommend these to anyone that's just getting into serious audio. If you all have any questions, please feel free to message me.

and if you all have any suggestions on how I could make this review better, please let me know. I may make a new one. Thanks!

how do you burn them in? like how do you get brown noise and white noise? and what is pink noise? haha

[mcbobery1234]

@masterdrummer19 Burning in headphones is just playing a signal thorugh them to help break them in like you would a pair of shoes kind of. As you play a signal, the headphones kind of loosen up a bit. "Noise" just refers to static. White noise refers to specifically created static that has more treble, whereas pink is equally treble and bass, and brown is more bass than treble. I used a software called BurnIn for OSX.

do you use an amp with these? if so what amp do you use?

[mcbobery1234]

@porterico999 I got a PreSonus Audiobox USB audio interface, and I've been using that as my amp for the time being. Like I said, these things aren't terribly hard to drive, but they are cleaner when i use the interface just because it's isolated from the background of the computer. Eventually, I'd like to get a legit headphone amp.

[mcbobery1234]

@hershiekopper I wouldn't think so.. that's a pretty low price for these things as far as i've seen.

This is a fairly good review. I am happy that someone else my age knows something about audio. I believe you got everything right! Especially about the base. I have the AKG K242 and I prefer them to the K272. Despite having the same drivers, the K242 have a slightly softer base due to the semi-open design but I believe it sounds more natural. I am buying the AKG K601 soon. Do you think they will be much harder to drive? A word of advice, if you use a laptop, use lossless audio formats.
