Bought these recently as my regular headphones got trashed by the kids. I was a little sceptical at first, they dont look quite as cool in the flesh as they do in the pictures, but once I used then, I realised what a great purchase they were.

Excellent value for money. I checked with a friend about his choice of headphones. He recommended the AKG K44 's. I read other peoples reports about them. Most were very complimentary. My friend then lent me his to try. I tried them in my Hi Fi, computer and television.

They sound great but don't look that good! The fit is nice but you can tell this is a base model. Maybe the K99 will be more my tastes!

These are great sounding headphones at a great price. For less than $50 you get sound quality of much more expensive headphones. They are very light weight and comfortable to wear. The feature that makes them so comfortable is the self adjusting top head strap.

very nice sound quality, amazingly comfortable

I have a set of AKG K240'a and a set of AKG K271's (originals) and I'm looking into buying 6 sets of AKG K44's. I run a home based studio where I record and mix indie bands. In a studio setting there are 3 general uses for headphones and, ideally, you want 3 different types for those uses.

In the right setting; these headphones are champs

in the wrong setting; these headphones are chumps

I am getting back into playing guitar again. I have been away from it for nearly ten years.

Inexpensive; high quality; clear and accurate response

Same as any other closed ear headphone; can get warm on the ear over time

For roughly $80 retail, the K44 headphones from AKG's professional line of studio cans are quite good, competing favorably with headphones costing a little more. As a solid go-to headphone for both casual and critical listening, the K44 performs its duties admirably.

These headphones are just awesome! Listening to music with them is jaw dropping, but with these, I can hear stations through the noise that are a hard copy on my Boston Acoustics external speakers. My headphones are the older K44's I have owned them for 3 years.
