AKG K1000

Pros

• I actually still have the original AKG K1000. But, I would like to hear how close they can reproduce them.
• AKG is still my fav brand, I LOVE the k1000 and k340 for example.
• Also AKG K1000 are not very hard to get and would set you back around a 1000$.
• AKG K1000 (1989)
• If I were to be honest, my ultimate endgame would be an AKG K1000. When I heard those many years ago, I knew it was some of the best headphones I ever got the chance to listen to.

Cons

• Due to their sensitivity (dB) and acoustic design, these headphones are so inefficient that you won’t be able to hear music with a standard headphone output. These headphones require at least 10–20 dB of gain and an amplifier capable of...
• Electrostatics are the closest experience I’ve ever had to that, but still not quite there. I’m also realistic in the sense that I know I probably won’t ever own a K1000, let alone something even more lofty like an HE-1, haha!
