Given other reviews, I was expecting at least a good product. I am not looking for phenomenal sound, just something reasonable that allows me to listen and not bother other people around me.

I needed a headphone to play the guitar at night without waking up the family and neighbors. My main criterion is comfort, I can not bear long headphones in general. This is what attracted me to the AKG, I can wear long without it bothers me. It comes with two different pads for comfort.

I'd heard a lot about these headphones, so I was very enthusiastic about buying them, and I have to say they've met my expectations fully.

I purchased this product for a bit of foldback on my Tascam M50 and I went for this model because it has been written up as commonly used by many of the working professionals. The thing to remember about these phones is that they are an openm type so they are not very good for using if you are...
