AKG K-182

Good value headphones

This has very good performance at the price point. Very comfortable and isolation is top notch. Because of these factors, immersion is quality. They fold up very nice too and fit in the included bag. The leather (I think) ear cups are very nice to the touch and surround the ears very well. Good product.

Good quality, however too small

I have big ears and head and unfortunately the ear cups are not big enough. Also the headphone itself it's very tight even when loosened as much as they allow

Reasonable price + acceptable sound

This headphones are quite nice for start. It can be a little hard to distinguish some of low and super high frequencies, but hopefully it can be corrected by simple EQ. The main thing will be just to make 80-250Hz lower on 2-5db. Sound isolation is good from both outside and inside. They also sit well, so I could work for 5-6 hours in row. Used it mostly for Mixing and Mastering and I know they will be better to use with E-Drum sets or to isolate vocalist from outter sounds, but still, their sound is very acceptable even for mixing. Definitely recommend if you are short in budget.

Top hi class headphones

Incredible sound great headphones overall

Good headphones for the price

I like the idea of the removable cable, so I can replace it in the future in case it fails. This is the number 1 reason to throw away a set of headphones, as they are very difficult to repair, so this is a big plus.

The foams, as you would expect with any headset, will deteriorate over time, but there are kits available to replace them. In other words, I expect my headphones to last me many years.

Very good!

Pretty flat frequency response.

Good reference headphones for monitoring, composing or mixing.

I'm no DJ so I can't say if they will be loud enough to use in a club.

They are foldable and come with a velvet bag.

Cable is detachable but is 3 meters long, so not the best for using on portable players or something like that.

You can get shorter cables for cheap on eBay though, so that's alright, but I just wish AKG would include a shorter cable in the box along with the long cable.

I wasn't expecting to like the sound of these headphones so much to be honest: I'm not the biggest fan of AKG sound signature in general.

I got them in a bundle and was planning on giving them away to someone else at first, but after trying them I honestly like them very much.

All frequencies are just right and for fun music listening, I just push the bass in the player EQ and it's a banger.

For the price, they are good reference headphones and they feel very comfortable to wear.

They are also quite small and portable too.

Good cans for DJ use

I use these headphone to DJ with, and they sound great. Much more bass than my old Pioneer ones. Comfort is also nice, no real pressure points and the padding keeps them comfortable even when only putting them over one ear.

great sound, great pair of headphones

The sound is good. nothing out of this world, but I see myself using them around the studio quite often.

since I'm a music producer, I use these because they are comfortable and they are base heavy. for producing and tracking, they are fantastic!

would not use them for mixing though.

Rather short lifespan

Bought these in Feb 2019.

On Jul 2020 I noticed that the another ear padding has been torn apart from the seam. Looks like it was not stitched but glued.

Not good rating for life expectancy obviously.

The sound quality is good, flat. Isolation too. Very comfortable.

The miniXLR connector carries BOTH right and left signals, so it isn't wired as you might expect it to be.

I cannot fully recommend these for someone who uses them daily.

Cable broke.

I can't wear them too long as my ears starts to hurt, but they are pretty good for isolation.
