HD-662 F : Very good for the price, not the headphones to mix with.

We bought these out of curiosity and very good reviews, to be used as monitoring while recording drums.

Packaging is spartan but adequate. They do look kind of unpolished at the close inspection, but famed Akg headphones look too if you ask me. Once in hand, they feel like they are built decently and designed smart, and will last much longer than the price suggests.

They give decent isolation, but not perfect, definitely workable.

Soundwise I find them surprisingly precise in the midrange, ok in the bass, but harsh in highs so much that I would never use them for any decision making listening. Maybe they will break in a bit, but I don't think they'll lose the harshness altogether.

PROS

- decent build quality

- super price

- nice loose cable

- decent sound in mids, and lower volumes

- decent isolation

- light and not punishing to wear

CONS

- harsh highs

- do not handle loudness well

- tiresome due to the harsh highs / not suitable for long sessions.
