Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly With His Song
Pleasant soft in the bass drums and a solid sound power in his voice. The heights are not drowned out by the bass, yet they take this power.
Candlebox - Far Behind
Bass guitar and drums act appropriately punchy and can be heard easily even at full volume without interference.
Dvbbs & Borgeous - Tsunami
The bass is round and soft from the very beginning. It pops after about 01: 20min. after the text passage "Tsunami". Absolutely sufficient and not falsified. The mixture is right and provides a useful result.
Martin Garrix - Animals
The relatively high amplitude between high and low tones will be relatively well reproduced by the headphones. The bass is throughout clearly perceptible only in the many different heights can be heard in places jitter.
Livingstone Taylor - Is not She Lovely (Acoustic)
Here shines the headphones in every respect. The quiet acoustic sound is reproduced almost crystal clear. All instruments are reproduced very faithfully and it forms a deep, spatial harmony.
Eric Clapton - Bad Love (Live, from the album 24 Nights)
Here the headset to its limits. Live recordings with light Hall, audience noises and generally more ups than bass come across not as atmospheric as you look at it really wants.
Conclusion: The AKG K511 is a decent, solid processed headphones for little money. You get what you expect, nothing more, nothing less. Who a sound like headphones with active sound and counter-sound awaits you, which will of course be disappointed. With Equalizer (actually the meantime every phone, every PC; for example, Winamp etc. has) can this sound aberration but quickly remedy by equalizes the bass / height ratio.
Therefore 4 of 5 stars, for a nearly perfect price / performance ratio.
