Reviews around rock (5.00 of 5)

  • If you like both rock and classic, and want ONE pair of headphones to solve them all
  • But if you listen to some classic rock, the additional bass is more subtle, but still discernible

Reviews around choice (5.00 of 5)

  • like I do, these will be a good choice
  • But if you are looking for a bass-emphasized headphone that has clear mids and highs, this is a great choice

Reviews around define (5.00 of 5)

  • The mids and highs are well defined and clear
  • Compared to other "bass-focused" headphones that I have heard, the bass isn't quite as hard-hitting, but its very well defined.

Reviews around finish (5.00 of 5)

  • Instead of the K181 DJ's silver finish, the UE version gets a nice flat-black finish all over, with spots of soft-touch plastics

Reviews around headphone (4.03 of 5)

  • ConclusionAt a similar price point, are many other great sounding headphones
  • Cheaper headphones that are "bass-emphasized" often suffer from lackluster mids and highs - this is not so with the K181
  • For $76 they wouldn’t make a bad closed back to carry around, but I have a very hard time recommending them over the Audio Technica M50x which, to my ears, sounds like a more versatile headphone and is far more comfortable
  • Cheaper headphones that are "bass-emphasized" often suffer from lackluster mids and highs - this is not so with the K181
  • After you turn off the bass boost, this headphones just as well as a traditional AKG headphones, which is good for listening classic or some light music

Reviews around midrange (3.44 of 5)

  • In photography terms, the midrange is not sharp, rather a bit soft
  • With bass boost on I find that the midrange seems excessively soft, lacking any punch when listening to something like Rage Against the Machine

Reviews around touch (3.22 of 5)

  • Instead of the K181 DJ's silver finish, the UE version gets a nice flat-black finish all over, with spots of soft-touch plastics
  • n’t say that I’m a fan of this tuning, the bass nearly fatigues me on some tracks before the end of it
  • The mini XLR removable cable is a nice touch to durability
