General Description of the Sound
AKG K1000 is a true hi-end headphone with very clean resolving sound and expectational realistic 3D soundstage. It should be noted that detail levels are a notch below that of electrostatic headphones and, as you might expect looking at the design, low bass reproduction is the weakest point. Some might argue that these are exceptionally musical, much more than any other headphones produced.
