AKG Closed-Back Foldable DJ Headphones - K81DJ
AKG makes some serious stuff.......2007-09-17
I bought these headphones through recommendation of one of my friend. They are truly amazing..especially for the price they come compared to other expensive competetors....Extremely light weight...3d axis folding system..makes them easy to carry around....The cord length is descent enough.....The only down side i can say for this headphones is the cushion size of the earcups they are a little small to fit properly to my ears and hurt my ears for a while since they were new but after a while i was okay with them...gr8 headphones for portable music players and personal computers.
Another winner from AKG.......2007-05-12
I own the AKG K701 headphones and couldn't be happier with their spacious sound and accuracy - but they on the large side, and hardly the product for on-the-go listening. The K81DJ headphones aims to fill the gap for a good-sounding portable.
While you can't beat in-ear monitors for portability, the bass can be bloated (Westone UM2), sound quality lacking, or the cables flaky. For the most part, ear buds lack the kind of sound quality you need for serious music listening. A small headphone would be perfect, but an open-backed model like, say, Sennheiser PX100 is like a sponge for outside noise. A closed headphone is the only solution for many listeners.
The Senn HD25 is said to be the gold standard in portable phones. At less than half the price, the AKG K81DJ blasts open the market. Several positive reviewe on this thread have pointed out their foldable design, attractiveness, and fine sound of the K81DJ - and it's all true. The problem (as you've also probably read) comes with a bass that can be boomy at times if you don't do something about it. And you can.
There's a reason for this sound. Since these are DJ headphones, they're designed to absorb all the excess bass in club situations; but everyday listeners can make them sound great. First, pull out the two-inch polyethylene pads hidden behind the pleather ear pads; they come out like a contact lens.and the sound improvement is immediate. Second (if this is if you're adventurous), pull off the pleather pads, and unscrew the three Philips screws just behind. Now, take some Blue-Tak, and fill in the hard plastic atreas behind the phone. (You can find illustrated instructions online by searching the Head-Fi forums.) The result is a rich, detailed sound certain to surprise any portable headphone listener. No excess bass.
The only remaining issue is their heavy clamping force which, again, is designed to be an asset for deejays in noisy envionments. Leaving them stretched around a six to eight inch globe for a while can alleviate most of the discomfort, but they'll always be an extra-snug fit. Listeners with large heads might best try these out before committing.
Before purchasing the K81DJ, I'd wondered whether these mods would make the phones shine. It worked wonderfully with my 5.5g iPod, and I'm delighted. After years of pickiness, I've finally found my portable "rig" - no more searching for me.
Great bang for the buck, and good warranty service.......2007-05-08
I have had a pair of 81DJs for about a year-and-a-half now. They continue to be my favorite headphones for use with my Creative Zen, and they sound even better plugged into my HeadRoom desktop amp. They have great bass that isn't overwhelming, decent isolation, and pretty good design. The upper treble is slightly rolled off, but that beats a strident or harsh high end.
The cord is the weak link here. It's long (9ft) but flimsy. After about one year, the plug on mine started losing continuity in the left channel. It was clear the wire had broken internally where it connected to the plug. I contacted AKG, who asked me to ship them to their center in California. In a little more than a week, I had a new pair. (They can't replace the cord, it seems.) Great warranty, great customer service.
In sub-$100 sealed headphones, I've got a pair of Sennheiser 280 Pros, too, but I favor these over the 280 Pros for most music. The Senns have better isolation and a better cord, but they're hardly portable, and they're harder to drive (64 ohms) than the 81DJs (32 ohms) with a portable player. The 81DJs have got better sound overall -- things always seem a bit muted in the 280 Pros at the high and low ends, even through the headphone amplifier. (Neither pair is as good as AKG's 701s or 240DFs, though that's a different league.)
I don't think they can be beat by any other sealed design headphones in this price range. A good buy.
Good Headphones for the Price.......2007-05-06
I really love these headphones. I get SO many compliments on them (good conversation starter) and they have great sound quality for the price. The only thing is that they are a bit uncomfortable in long-term situations and they make my ears a bit hot/sweaty, but that's really the only drawback. I left them open around my boots overnight to stretch them out, too, since my head is kind of big for these.
In general, though, these are definitely a good buy. I haven't had any problems yet.

Excellent product for satellite radio.......2004-03-12
As a retailer of Sirius products, I must say that this unit is a good buy. We made fun of the CB style display at first, but after having this unit in my car for over a year now, I am a big fan! Even passengers in the back seat can read the display! the sound quality is way above the delphi units. My only gripe is the 400mV output voltage. this is a bit low for a typical auxillary input. However, a line driver can fix this if needed. I recommend this unit to anyone who is not interested in a portable unit. sound quality is quite high, even with an audio system (see http://www.cardomain.com/id/keep_hope_alive)
SSR2000.......2004-03-12
As a retailer of Sirius, I must say that this display is my favorite. At first, we made fun of the CB style display. However, after having it in my vehicle (for over a year now)I am extremely pleased with the display. Passengers in the rear seat can see the artist and song title easily. My only gripe is the output voltage level of 400 mV. this is too low for a typical auxillary input because it is not above the noise floor. however a line driver can solve this problem. I feel that the sound quality is above the delphi systems i have heard and I am pleased while running this on my audio system. (see http://www.cardomain.com/id/keep_hope_alive)
Great Intro to Sirius, but buy next generation.......2003-12-05
I installed this in a car, with the audio going into a Jensen radio and Sirius is one of the best purchases I ever made. But the system keeps dropping out on the classical music channels. We can't tell if it is the Jensen head unit or the satellite tuner - turning either one off and on again brings back those channels for a few minutes. I'm keeping it and buying more Sirius tuners, but from now on will they will be higher end brands (Pioneer, Kenwood) and going into bigger brand head units.
