看到一篇k26p和PX200的 review不错。大家看看:
after ~60-80h of burn-in i want to go in depth with the akg k26p and compare them with the sennheiser px200
=========
ergonomics
=========
first thing to be stressed is the extreme efficiency of the k26p. plugged in my ppa (gain: 10,5) i hear hiss even with volume 0, plugged in the go vibe (gain 6) nearly the same. one could easily overpower these cans with the headphone-out of his cdp or pcdp. so i decided to do all comparisons without an amp through the hp-out of my (suboptimal) iriver imp350. and indeed they sounded better unamped than out of the go vibe...
comfort: i told you first that i felt the k26p to be more comfortable than the px200. be aware, that i have to stretch some parts of my auricle to get a proper seal with the px200 - and the phones have to stay right there for optimal position, causing some discomfort after a few minutes. i do not have to do that with the k26p. on the other hand akg's clamping pressure is higher, so they are pressing heavier on your head and ears. but with the k26p there are more possible points of optimal position on the ear so that you can rearrange them whenever you want.

sound
=====
1. electronica:
"""""""""""""""""""
(recordings: sven väth - contact, einstürzende neubauten - ende neu (remixes), fatboy slim - halfway between the gutter and the stars)
k26p:
°°°°°
oh... hell... again: those basses are unbelievable present given such little drivers, you'd realize that first too. it's really fun to listen to electronic dance music (sven väth). believe it or not: some mids came in during break-in. no real soundstage: the acoustic image stays flat.
they reach their limits with more complex, more varied instrumented recordings (like neubauten with their dominating percussion- and basslines). that's the end of fun - the old problem reappears: bass eats mids and degrades further a poor resolution. and although the bass is heavy and deep it remains clumsy / un-dynamic.
voices (macy gray on fatboy's love life, blixa bargeld with neubauten) sound hollow, somewhat recessed, lack some presence.
px200:
°°°°°°
there are more details in the mids and highs, bass is better resolved, not that deep but far from being muddy at all. i had not that much fun with dance-music, but the px200 are superior in resolution, separation of tones and dynamics. plus there's a sort of soundstage, more spatial depth in sound. there's no big difference in the higher highs between px200 and k26p: both offer not much of them, the k26p maybe a little more.
voices are present just in front of you, where they belong. their timbre is more natural.
2. classics:
"""""""""""""""
(recordings: rodrigo - concerto para una fiesta / p. romero, asmf n. marriner, schubert - octet d803 / berliner solisten, shostakovich - violin concerto no.1 / erxleben, bso flor)
k26p:
°°°°°
one of my favourite personal reference-recordings is rodrigo's concerto para una fiesta with its lively and abrupt change of subtle acoustic guitar and complex orchestral passages. k26p performs absolutely poor: pepe romero's guitar jumps away whenever the orchestra comes in. moreover nearly all overtones are swallowed. the guitar sounds compressed and thin, the orchestra remains unresolved. bass dominates the mids.
chamber music (schubert): oh no... what a bad resolution starting in the bass reaching up to higher mids. separate instruments flow in each other... this is an inexcusable weakness! timbre of instruments is slightly off. again no soundstage..
the solo violin in shostakovich's concerto has a little brighter, more familiar timbre, but sometimes sounds like someone tries to imitate it on a synthesizer. no more words on poor resolution, lacking details etc. see above. again the solo-instrument partly vanishes when some deeper instruments begin their play.
px200:
°°°°°°
to produce a more intimate image of acoustic guitar the px200 would need some more of higher highs. but the little senn does a much better job here than its akg-copy. guitar stays present in the front even while the orchestra's playing. instruments are better separated. bass stays clean.
with chamber music there's again a nearly natural timbre, this time with strings and flutes. the double basses are well resolved, growl fully articulated and musical. some extension in the highs is the thing i miss most.
shostakovich's violin concerto was one of my references while i did my audition in a local shop with the koss portapro, the px100 and the px200. it ended with buying the px200 (for too much money as i realized later), because it was simply the best performer out of the three with that particular music, that i love. and so now: separation, dynamics, detail, timbre (except the solo-violin.. a little dark), small but existant soundstage... all is there. the px200 is far superior with classical music, period.
========
conclusion
========
i have to thank akg for designing the k26p (they are built in china), because they gave me the chance to esteem some of the benefits of the px200 that i was just about to forget.
ok - the k26p are cheaper (~ |
