003 - look at my post man, these headphones came in the kit provided by the school . Well, I guess they aren't "provided" as I had to pay like $580 for the kit, but these are the phones they chose. Obviously there are better headphones, but these are supposed to have better midrange quality than the last ones the school was putting in the kits and a nice clear sound. It's mainly going to be used for listening to recordings made in pro tools and things like that although I haven't even really used them much lately just because I'm really used to my current ones and like them although they are super cheap. So technically these have to go through the 'burn in' time and whatnot, but I haven't been really doing that.What will you be using them for? How much can you spend in total? What type of music (if any) will you listen to on them? Do you need open or closed? What will you be hooking them up to?
I don't even think I've seen one listed with 30kHz honestly. Seems kind of strange that they have them go up that freakin high when a human really shouldn't even be able to detect anywhere close to that but I supposed it adds to that little extra 'high crystally tones' or whatever you want to call them.Just try to find response charts for the model your looking it. You want a good response from probably 15/20k-20/30khz.
While I have not heard those headphones, AKG is known for their very good midrange quality, of course they still can produce lemmons that arn't very good. The K501 woud have been a much better choice for midrange sound, I can tell you that. It's basicly the little brother of the K1000 in terms of sound quality and isn't much more than the one you got. Most people who have decent hearing can hear slightly over 20Khz, I think the max is something like 23Khz. I can hear to somewhere between 21 and 22khz. There are cheap headphones that have a very high freq. response, such as those by audio technica, which go up to 42Khz, however, most of their headphones, excluding the AD2000 and W5000, are not very good for music. Having a higher frequency response will not make it better with high frequencys. Once you pass the point you can hear, it's just that. You can't hear it.

Crysalis - The k240 monitors are discontinued, make sure you're looking at the k240 studios, those should be available.
I went to the manufacturers website and originally tried posting that link, but it didn't work, that's why I just linked to some place that were selling them as the next best option. At their website I didn't see a frequency response chart. Didn't even notice that it said the frequency range was freakin 15Hz to 25kHz though, that's pretty insane considering 20kHz and up wouldn't even be detectable really. Which brings me to this:
