The One & Only
May 11th 2014Let's face it, AKG cans are the best! I've had several pairs, ranging from top-of-the-line "open-backs", through "semi-open" and now "closed-backs". All very useful for their particular purpose, from mixing to general listening to tracking. These are excellent "trackers", providing great audio with the isolation required for the job. They're not QUITE as attenuating as Direct Sound's Extreme Isolation cans, but more comfortable to wear because of the self-adjusting headband. Also, the cable comes out of one side only and is detachable (hence, replaceable, after they've been trodden on by inconsiderate studio-dwellers!). Highly recommended.

Great, honest sound
May 1st 2011I love these phones! The isolation is decent (unless the source sound is way loud) and there's even a decent amount of bass in these. Highs are clear and not shrill, so you can listen during long sessions without fatigue. And last but not least, the built-in on-off switch saves your butt, when you leave a pair up during a session. I recommend you trying a pair!

Good sound, comfort
Jun 23rd 2010These are some of the best-sounding phones I have used. These are punchy and clear without appearing to emphasize anything in the spectrum unevenly. They are fairly low-output though, so you'll have to crank the volume up a little more. The self-adjusting strap and automatic volume shutoff features are great, but they're a bit awkward with glasses. They also aren't quite as snug of a fit as my Sennheisers, so they don't isolate sound as well, but those Sennheisers are notoriously heavier and tighter, making them less comfortable. These are also made in China now, and they don't look exactly like the pictures, including the ones on the box. (The AKG logo is solid rather than outlined, for example.) The overall quality seems to be good, although they are quite lightweight, and psychologically, heavier things have a way of seeming more solid.

100% AKG quality
Jan 13th 2010I bought this headphones for two aplications: for live monitoring and studio recording, and this headphones are excellent in both aplications. The sound is amazing, you can hear all these details, like a magnifying glass. When I plug them into the mixer, I can hear clearly the PA avoiding the room, the isolation level is great, which is great for studio too! you can record voices in front to the mic and the sound keep in your ears, not into the mic, are very valuable for hearing a recording, mix and monitoring. This AKG headphones are pretty comfortable and self-adjustable, you can use it by hours and hours without pain or inconvenience, and they look cool too! AKG need to provide a bag or case with this, the retail box works fine but not for everybody... The extra cable and extra earpad are a cool add. For closed headphones, you can't go wrong with this.
