General
As a DJ, you are well aware which products are up to snuff and which aren't. Even though preference in headphones is a personal matter, certain models are sure to make everyone happy. The AKG K-181 fall into that category. Their high-quality sound is made possible by the high-grade materials that have been used to build them. The sound can also be adjusted with the "CLUB" switch. This switch allows you to adjust the amount of bass. This way you will always be able to hear your own bass sound, even in clubs, at drive-in shows and other large events. Beneath the bass booster you will find a mono-stereo signal switch. This is very practical when you are doing some one-eared mixing.
As you can see in the pictures, AKG use a different folding system than most other brands. They have clearly gone for a reliable, durable system instead of a cheap system. The hinges are very firmly connected and thanks to the use of two hinges per earpiece, you can compactly fold the headphones. These wonderful headphones show the world that AKG provide high-quality products for DJing as well as for studio work.

Mijn voorkeur ging sowieso uit naar AKG vanwege het geluid. Bij Bax shop de K181 DJ besteld. Volgende dag in huis. Gelijk de dag erna op een feest (ong. 300 man) gedraaid. Geweldig, koptelefoon sluit goed af en zit veel laag in. De duur moet ik uiteraard nog ondervinden, maar ik vind het nu al een top product.
Het enigste verschil is de kleur en het gedraaide snoer bij de ue, de schelpen zijn hetzelfde en ook de specificaties.
Maar wat een topding is dit, echt super goed geluid, kan goed hard, en zeer goede bass, vervormt ook niet!!
Echt een aanrader als je op zoek bent naar een echte goede koptelefoon!!
Vergeet alle andere, en ga voor AKG!
Al 30 jaar een AKG-fan!
Topspul echt waar!
Ik heb in de afgelopen drie jaar erg veel genoten van de kwaliteit van de koptelefoon, ook is de 'club' functie erg handig. Naar mijn mening is het geluid stukken beter dan andere modellen van bijvoorbeeld Pioneer of Technics, ook ben ik (maar dat is meer een kwestie van smaak) een groter voorstander van grote, afsluitende schelpen en dat is waar deze koptelefoon kwalitatief in uitblinkt.
Ik heb inmiddels in mijn zoektocht naar een nieuwe koptelefoon heel wat modellen geprobeerd en overwogen maar momenteel de K181DJ nog steeds bovenaan mijn lijst!
