Gold standard for headphone sound Mar 03, 2011
By Born in Kansas
"MK"
I used to own 6 very large discos in the 70's and 80's in major cities across the U.S., with capacities of 1,500 to 3,000 patrons. And very early on, in the days of vinyl records, when you looked at the inside art that went with albums in those days, you often saw pictures of the rock artists in the studio, singing into the studio microphones, recording their music and when the closeup shots included singers wearing headphones, they were always wearing AKG. Back in the days of "no Amazon reviews available", that told me more about this brand of headphones than I needed to know. Thus we started purchasing AKG headphones for all of our DJ booths and bought many of them over the years. And although I am no longer in that business, I still purchase AKG headphones for personal use at home. I listen to concert videos, movies, and CDs with these headphones and find them to be absolutely phenomenal in their performance. You feel like you are right there in the studio or concert hall listening first hand and with such clarity that it is amazing. So do not hesitate for a moment to purchase AKG. You are making a decision based on years of professional performance satisfaction by the top artists in every genre, from rock n roll, to blues, to country, to jazz.
The only thing you need to be aware of, regarding AKG is the basic difference between two styles of headphones. They have supraaural and circumaural. Basically what this means is that one style fully encloses the ear with pads that extend out beyond the ear, which totally isolates from the outside. The other has pads which rest on the ear itself and does allow some outside sound to be able to be heard (such as your wife yelling at you to come give her a kiss :-) You do not lose any sound quality or performance in either one, it is just a personal preference as to whether you want to hear someone speaking to you when you are wearing one versus the other. One other consideration, if you wear glasses, is that the style which rests on the ears, can get a little uncomfortable if you wear them for a full concert DVD or for more than an hour or so, due to the slight pressure they will apply against the ear and thus to the stems of your glasses in that area. When I wear that style, I simple lift the stems of my glasses enough that they rest above the area of my ear that is being compressed by the headphone pads.
I do happen to have both styles in my home system. Usually so that a companion can listen to the incredible sound experience of concerts, with two of us plugged into a y-connector. Enjoy the best which has remained the best for over 40 years or more. Oh, and one last thing. AKG got more customer centric when they modified their headphones to accept plug in cords at the headphone, which used to be hard wired to the headphones. Back in my club days, the only reasons we had to replace headphones were because, a)the earpads would harden or wear out, or b)because our DJ's would be moving around a lot with them on their heads and that would eventually degrade the hard wire connection where the cord entered the headphones, rendering them inoperable on the right or left channel when the wires inside would break. With the new style plug in connector, if a cord goes bad, you dont have to replace the headphone itself....just the cord. And I have never had a speaker go bad in the many sets of AKGs which I have purchased over the years.

Great Aug 17, 2010

"salt through time"
I got these at the Starving Musician in Berkeley, and for a little less than they're selling them here. I'd have been happy even if they were a little more. I'll always try to buy from local businesses first.
Anyway, I think they're great. They weigh 7.9 ounces...not enough to push your skull down onto your neck, as the other reviewer implies. Do some yoga buddy. They're really sturdy, and I find the strapping system very comfortable. I also like the fact that they come with a couple cords (a nice long straight one and a coiled one)that are both replaceable. There are also two options for the ear pads, leather or microfiber. And they sound GREAT! Yeah.
