Great Headphones Suggested By My Rep

These headphones sound awesome! I got the version that has three different styles of cable included. Long, short, and curly like a pigs tail! LOL I was happily surprised with the build quality… Where lesser builds might have used plastic, these headphones use anodized aluminum. They feel very solid, and are comfortable for hours of use. They also sound great! I have them plugged into a Yamaha AG06 mixer to good effect.

Surprised and amazed!!!

Two words.... buy them! I mix music and DJ. I needed an inexpensive set of cans for live sets and traveling. I am blown away that AKG managed to pack so much sound for a 149 bucks. The build of the head phones are also top notch.

Almost perfect...

I've been using ATH-M40X for a few months for recording and editing and they're... fine. But longer editing sessions become pretty uncomfortable after a couple of hours.

I landed on these and I am 92% glad I did. They sound good, the ear pads are very comfortable. I saw some reviews that question the build and quality control but I don't see that. Treated well, there's no reason in my mind that these won't last a long time. Of course everyone's ears and head are different and comfort comes down to personal preference.

The one thing that is just... blargh... the mini xlr. The length, every time I turn my head to the left it hits my shoulder in a very annoying way. This is made much worse if I am wearing a hoodie.

To try to deal with it I have spent an inordinate amount of time searching for low profile or angle female mini xlr connectors. The few that seem to exist for mini xlr may or may not even alleviate the issue and they're all pretty expensive. Based on a Reddit post I have picked up a couple of cables that might make it better and at least might give me a shot at soldering something. As you can see in the photo it's a full two inches and the rigidity adds to it.

I don't know if it's just me and my short neck and bad posture but it's one of those things that once I notice it, I'll never not.

A great set of cans and given the choices in the price range I actually probably would buy them again.
by Jon Dunn from Grand Rapids, MI on

Great sound. Fragile faux leather covering.

The sound has been fantastic on these but the faux leather covering was peeling off within a year of ownership. I was not particularly hard on them at all. They generally lay on my computer desk or in their drawstring bag. Pretty disappointing for such an expensive product.
by Josh S from Indiana on

Best Yet

I have mostly used rather cheap phones in the past. This set has better clarity and balance than those others I've used. And the wearable comfort seems superior during the few times I have used them.
