Pretty great all round headphones. Pretty fantastic value
Really enjoying these, as others have said, they definitely have a clamp factor but I’m confident it’ll lessen over time. Aside from that they are pretty comfortable; it could just be the clamping but at the moment it feels like the sides of my ears are touching the drivers slightly, but again that could clear up. They are way lighter than I expected so there is no real pressure on the top of your head. I actually wanted to find out how light these were so I weighed them and they weigh nothing. Literally 0 in every unit of measurement.Other minuses that have been mentioned are the very long cable, which most people will find to be entering the realm of absurdity. To the poor reviewer whose cable got tangled up in the wheels of their chair until they threw the headphones at a wall in rage; thank you, you’ve inspired me to coil the cable and tie it up so it’s effectively 1.5 metres rather than 300.I’m not much of an audiophile, but I’ve been making s***ty electronic music in my bedroom for the past two years so I know a little bit about sounds and stuff. These sound really fantastic to my ear, although my only comparison points are consumer grade in ear headphones and a pair of Marley Liberate XL’s so keep that in mind. The XL’s are pretty good but they lean noticeably towards lower frequencies, having Marley’s signature warm, bassy sound. These on the other hand are supposed to be neutral so I was worried that with my electronic tendencies there wouldn’t be enough bass to satisfy me. Strangely that is not the case at all, the bass doesn’t sound much quieter than my Marley’s, it’s punchier and a hundred times more detailed.As a little side note, the fact that the bass didn’t disappoint me lends a little weight to the man who said these had very bloated bass. I don’t have a pair of headphones that I know are fully neutral so I can’t say for myself whether the bass is actually bloated, however I can say that the bass never feels overpowering and doesn’t smother the mids or highs, all frequencies sound incredibly detailed to me, especially the highs. In fact, the highs are a tad harsh in certain songs with particularly harsh percussion, I’ve mainly experienced this with trap and haven’t had any issues with jazz, rock or old school hip hop,â only electronic music.On the note of highs I haven’t heard any noticeable sibilance excepting during “Heartbreak” by Yelawolf.They aren’t particularly portable, but I sort of like the purity of the fact that don’t really do anything except play music. No in line mic or controls, no bells or whistles just good music, which is a pretty beautiful approach and embodied by a very beautiful pair of headphones. These look absolutely stunning, despite the fact that the materials look (and probably are, given the price) cheap. I’ll definitely be keeping AKG in mind for future purchases on account of their appearanc alone.I think that pretty much sums up this review. I like these a lot and have been primarily listening to music over the past couple of days to hear all of the details I missed before, everything sounds so much clearer and more alive than before. Would definitely recommend these cans 🙂

Two years later and I’m still obsessed
I ordered these way back in October 2022 as my very first pair of studio headphones when I first started getting into audio. As a beginner, I didn’t have a great idea of what I was looking for but I was familiar with AKG’s reputation, the price was on point, and I thought they looked really cool.It’s now July 2024. All of that original recording equipment has since been replaced with the exception of these headphones, which I love just as much as the day I first tried them on. I’m definitely still an amateur – so audiophiles, this is not the review for you – but I find the sound excellent and they’re so comfortable I barely even notice them after several hours of wear.And (most importantly) they still make me look just as cool.

Decent, comfortable headphones, but need an amp to shine.
I’m not an audiophile, but I can tell the difference between decent headphones and garbage ones. I’m a longtime Grado headphone user.Pros:Good price when on saleLong cordSound good when used with a headphone ampHeadband is snug but not tight, won’t squeeze your headVery comfortable over the ear padsCons:MSRP is way too high for what you get — don’t pay full price for theseCheap and plastic-y construction, questionable durabilityStereo jack is not gold plated so you will get some crackle and may have to reinsert or rotate the jack a few times to get a clean sound from it.Really needs a headphone amp to sound its best.Initially, I was very unimpressed with these headphones. They sounded flat and muffled. This was using the headphone jack on my phone and computer speakers. Then I tried them on a USB DAC with a strong headphone amp built in and the sound really opened up. Suddenly they had good tight bass and decently clear highs. Definitely recommend using with a headphone amp!

Good headphones
These are much different sound than the 240 set. They have much more bass l use them to double check the overall mix. For the price these are hard to beat.

It’s insane for that price tag
Honestly most headphones in stores for this price are kinda bad. But trying these is honestly mind blowing. I’m suprised they figured out how to make good sound quality for that low of a price tag. I love using these headphones when mixing! The only real downside is that there isn’t enough sound isolation, but my room is quiet anyway so that really doesn’t matter for me. Overall these work great! Also if your reading this review I highly recommend using soundid if you want to make your studio headphones have a flat sound curve, which delivers the flat studio sound that provides extremely accurate audio,

Fone de ótima qualidade, muito confortável. Voce pode ficar horas com o fone e nem percebe que está com o fone. O que eu achei ruim é que o fone vem com um cabo grande (3 metros). à muito cabo.
