AKG K24P Headphones - Good Bang for your Buck.......2007-09-22
I recently purchased the AKG K24P headphones after my stock Sony Earbuds broke. There are always good and bad things about every product you'll buy - so, you have to weed out all the useless crap you might read that are written by consumers vs. audio equipment professionals.
Musical Preferences: Jazz (vocals and instrumentals), rock, alternative, world, popular, bossa nova, techno, and classical. I'm not into metal or country. I own a nice home stereo system (Aragon power amp, Magus tube pre-amp, California Audio CD Player, Acoustic Energy Speakers).
Product Description: The AKG K24P headphones have semi-open speakers, foldable, and a metal headband. The appearance is on the "cheap" side - made mostly of inexpensive/lightweight plastic. The cord leading to the separate headphones was unusually twisted out-of-the box. The cord does have a 90 degree plug (a plus), but no built in volume control (a negative, because some songs are louder than others). As others have complained - the metal headband is too tight out-of-the box. The headphones hurt my ears after about 5 minutes. No big deal. I just bent the metal headband and they are fine now. The headpones are on-the-ear types. They do not go around the ear like circumaural headphones do. Circumaural headphones and in-the-canal insert-type headphones do a better job of sealing out background noise. The headphones have a sensitivity of 125 db - which basically means they're pretty efficient. In other words, you won't need much power to make the music loud. Works great on my laptop and on my IPOD. On my laptop - I had to turn the volume almost all the way down.
I broke the headphones in for 75 hours using randomly played songs through my IPOD.
Listening Impression: The headphones are fairly neutral. By that I mean that it doesn't appear to favor or emphasize any part of the music per se. For example, my Sony earbuds were very "bright" or "tinny"; which emphasized high pitch notes. I characterize the sound of the Sony earbuds as being very "harsh."
The AKG K24Ps definately have more bass than the Sony earbuds. It was a fairly clean, punchy, but still somewhat lightweight for bass notes. If you're heavy into the beat of the music - you'll probably like other headphones better.
The K24Ps midrange response is very good - so, vocals are really nice to listen to.
Imaging: I have never found headphones that image as well as a good set of speakers. By "imaging", I mean that if you close your eyes and listen to the music - you can tell where individual instruments are playing or where the vocalist is standing. My Acoustic Engergy speakers do an awesome job with this (assuming that the quality of the recording is good). I haven't found a set of headphones that can image well. I believe the reason is because proper "imaging" requires reflections off surfaces in your listening area - and that sounds must arrive at each ear w/ small time delays. I know I'm getting to technical here - so, feel free to skip this part.
Bottom Line: The K24Ps are very good headphones for the money. I paid about $25 including S&H. They definitely outperform my Sony Earbuds. I don't know how durable these headphones are because I've only had them for a month. I give this product 4 stars because they don't sound nearly as good as my Acoustic Energy Speakers. I would characterize the K24Ps as "smooth" and easy to listen to. If you're heavy into bass, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a fairly neutral set of headphones - then look no further.
the best possible sound for the price.......2007-09-03

I wanted to buy this headphones for a while everytime I stopped by jandr store
and finally I bought one
plugged into my pda to play some music, seems it has very good bass effect (I couldn't judge the sound due to excessive noise on the street)
when I listen audio files on the computer (160-192kbps ogg vorbis), I am pretty impressed for the excellent sound
the bass can go to very deep and clean without muffling the entire sound, mid
and high are pretty clear and easily distiguishable every details
the headband is like Koss Potrapro, that you need to extend before putting on
I personally like the sound of the headphones, and also suitable for serious listening
bass lovers will like the clean, resonance-free bass
I give 99/100, no main complain (I just wish it has 6.3mm adaptor and earpads)
Thank amazon customers for the recommendation. 4.5 Stars.......2007-06-18
Because these headphones are quite possibly the best i have ever owned. Not only is the bass unbelievable rich (not just booms that overwhelms the rest of the sound spectrum). These headphones are clear from highs to mids to lows. Now i'm not an audiophile but i've heard things on my 123kbps mp3 files ive never heard from my past headphones (Sennheiser px350, sony, koss, etc.). Get these headphones, you wont be disappointed! Im not giving it 5 stars because these headphones feels a bit flimsy and a bit uncomfortable for jogging, but other than that, theyre great.
AKG K24P.......2007-05-13
Portability, imaging and comfort are stellar on this headphone. I've always been a sennheiser fan and have been looking for the experience that
I had when I first listened to the HD414's. Having recently aquired a reissue of the HD414 I can compare the AKG's and the sennheisers's and
the AKG's win hands down, in particular in the imaging and bass. Sennheiser wins in comfort and timeless design. Highly recommended headphone, for a little over $30.00 (!!!!)
Great Sound; Poor Comfort.......2007-02-09
I purchased these as an upgrade to the ear buds that came with a newly purchased MP3 player. I cannot fault the sonics of these headphones as they are clearly the best inexpensive 'phones that I have ever heard. That is only part of the total picture with headphones; comfort is another very important consideration. That is where these headphones suffer from a poor design. They are uncomfortable to wear for any length of time due to the metal band and the 2 adjusting clips that protude against the wearer's head. If they would re-design the headband and clip assembly, this would be the best inexpensive headphone on the market. As it is now, if you can stand to wear them, they sound awesome. My star rating reflects the comfort of the 'phones not the sonics.

Good ideas, but stupidly designed........2007-10-31
This player would have been great, except that it died shortly after I bought it for a plane trip. I brought it in my carryon, treated it very carefully, and yet it stopped working for no apparent reason. The design is awkward, hard to hold in my hands, and the battery-as-kickstand design is strange and still feels unstable. I would rather have a folding, laptop-style player any day. Maxx Digital wouldn't take it back, no customer service besides a voicemail number where nobody ever answered or called me back. Unfortunately I didn't buy this at Amazon, maybe the return policy would've been better. The case is horrible too, designed as a car mountable case but not good for simple travel. This machine feels clunky and not very durable. The battery attaches to the back by a too-small screw that can easily fall out. You can get the SD card and Divx features on other, better players. There is a reason why this thing is no longer available.
Great alternative to the "laptop" design.......2007-06-28
Was looking for a portable that didn't flip open, but could be used on the lap or strapped to the back of the car seat. This one seems to fit the bill both ways.
Can't comment on the build quality since I've only had it a short time, but it seems well made. Plays everything I've thrown at it so far and the screen is gorgeous! Works as it should...sound is OK...what you'd expect from the small speakers, though it might be a bit low if used in the car.
We'll see how "Maxx Digital" stands the test of time though.
Hard To Beat For The Money.......2007-03-27
I shopped around, looking for a relatively inexpensive portable DVD player to carry on camping trips. This unit comes with a complete compliment of useful accessories. The battery easily holds a charge long enough to watch a full length movie. Quality seems very good. The carrying case is a bit odd, but functional for what it does. Overall, I rate this one a "BUY".

They're speaker stands what can you really say but I did not have one bad experience. The shipment was received in a timely manner and the speaker stands are sturdy and hold the speakers great.
