In the first of a new series of quick reviews, we're taking a look at AKG's K000 headphones. The K000 is very similar in appearance and construction to AKG's more well known K000/000/Q000 flagship series, but it has it's own sound signature that in some ways has more appeal than the 000 range. The K000 uses AKG's self adjusting band, which allows for a quick and comfortable fit. The velour pads are quite large, and wearers may find that they need to experiment with positioning to achieve the best sound. I found that pushing the headphones forward on my head pulled the midrange forward, at the expense of some soundstage width and bass response. The sound of the K000 is more balanced than the lean and treble-tilted K000. Resolution and detail levels are lower, but the fuller bass and lower midrange response make the K000 much better suited for rock music. Dynamic punch is still fairly minimal as one would expect of a mid price open headphone, so fans of heavy metal, techno, and hip hop should look elsewhere. The K000 is most in its element with acoustic music, where its wide and enveloping soundstage and good instrumental separation provides for a very enjoyable experience. Those considering the Sennheiser HD-000 or Audio-Technica AD000 should definitely give the AKG K000 an auditon.
