    The Parabolic? I owned those once and agree. Like all og AKG experimental headphones- potential but not quite there.

    yeah, interesting design to these. Ill have to open them up and see whats going on. Looking in through the back grill, minimal damping of any sort inside.

    I don’t think they damped any of their cool designs. K240 Sextett, k340, k280, k270, etc. I’d love to hear if you can improve them.

    If you love the sound, get a spare and cherish them. Parts are becoming scarce. The crazy AKGs are always difficult to ignore for me. Enjoy them...

    I still listen to the K500's I bought in the 80's from time to time. Expansive soundstage and great imaging. Was second only to the K1000s back then, which were 2x the price.

    That’s an awesome headphone too. Works with k701 pads if you want even moar soundstage but I can’t remember how it affects the sound in other ways. It was a looong time ago. I believe the k500 worked with k701 pads but not the k400 (which I preferred)
