It is neither an ordinary nor an impressive choice

I think it looks good, but I didn't like the sound very much, even though I could hear the sound of the drums more clearly than the other instruments

So and So

They are very comfort,the quality is good but the cable looks kind of sencitive at the conection..

The sound is neutral and this is very good if you want to practice with your guitar or to record your work..

Boxy

These sound boxy, very mid. I can discern bass and the tops are not fizzy but prerecorded music just sounds boxy. No fullness of sound. Disappointing.

Borderline.

Good sound, but you might need a soldering Iron

I quite like the sound of the Headphones. They have a rich bass and a nice treble. Mids are Ok. For the price these are amazing.

I have quite large ears which make the earpads a bit uncomfortable. The fact that you can't adjust the length of the sizes is a bit annoying but I find it not really problematic.

I have quite a issue with the soldering spots on the cups. I found that they broke after about 12 Months of use. Now these are the first headphones I actually could be bothered to repair, so that might tell you about what I think about them.

In Summary: Very good headphones for the price tho you might have a few issues.

Recommendation: Also get a soldering iron.

great budget headphones

Easy to wear, large and light. Sounds very good, nothing exaggerated or missing. Using these for voice-over editing during long sessions. A bit flimsy feeling but built correctly for the price.

Great for my home studio

I wanted simple, good sounding, headphones, not too pricy, and I chose right. They don't get that much gain though, but still find the very comfortable and sound is crystal clear.

Amazing for the price

These are perfect for band practices or recording sessions. Their comfort is on a next level, thanks to their ultralight weight and wide earcups with just the right tightness. They stick to the head, although if you have a really small head, it might be an issue, which was a customer's situation once. Sound isolation is very good actually.

The sound is good for the price. There is a resonant bump around 100 - 150 Hz, and another one at higher mids, which can make sibilant voices harsh. The midrange is not very detailed. The low range is very extended, the bass is huge. You can feel the rumble!

So, not good for mixing, and not the best choice for recording vocalists, but great for band practices or playing drums with them.

The built quality is superb, as it is always with AKG products.

Good sound at a price

Used when playing PS4 and liked the sound and comfort. But you may not overpay and buy k72 or k52 for same purpose.

Studio Use

Amazing headphones for studio setting recording. I'm very happy with them since they come in with a 3m long cable which is handy while moving around the studio while recording. No need to take them on-and-off every time.

Good headphones for the price.

I needed a set of closed back headphones for recording in my studio. I needed something with decent sound and good isolation. I also needed them to sit firmly on the head so they don't fall off in the middle of a take. They also needed to be reasonably cheap.

Sound:

Surprisingly good for the price. They're a step up from the (admittedly even cheaper) Superlux headphones I've often used as cheap tracking headphones in the past. The bass response is perhaps a little TOO good, meaning it's not exactly neutral but has a considerable bass boost. This is not something I normally think of as "the AKG sound". Their higher end models are a lot more bass shy. The characteristic, airy AKG highs aren't really here either. I guess these cheaper AKGs are targeted at smartphones rather than recording studios. But they're not bad. Just a little bass heavy and lacking the clarity of the more expensive models. They are nowhere near good enough for mixing (which I personally wouldn't use closed back headphones for anyway) but more than adequate for tracking.

Isolation:

Not exceptional but perfectly adequate for most recording situations.

Comfort:

To be honest I've never been a huge fan of the way AKG headbands sit on my head. They never seem to sit firmly enough when I need to move my head around a bit. For recording I prefer something with a tighter fit that won't fall off when I bend forwards to check the tuner or adjust something in the rack or whatever. To be fair these headphones are far from the worst I've used in this respect but they're not exactly tight fitting either. To put this into context they are tighter than AKG K701 but nowhere near as tight as Beyerdynamic DT-series. One more thing to be aware of is that the ear pads are synthetic which might be a bit clammy after many hours of use. But this may actually be less of a problem because of the looser fit.

Build quality:

Don't expect much at this price. They are quite flimsy and the first time a musician steps/sits on them they will most likely break. To be fair this can be said about most headphones which is why I need cheap headphones for my studio.

To sum it up:

These are far from the best headphones I've used but they are surprisingly good for the price. If you can accept a slightly bass heavy sound and the rather loose AKG-style headband you could do far worse.

Great for what the value

Very useful flat sounding headphones. Good for playing you instrument, making the entire production or just listening music and watching movies.

These headphones are awesome!!!

I'm actually considering buying more to have on my studio. For less than 50€ you get a really comfortable and great sounding headphones!! Sometimes I do 5/6 hour sessions with them on and even with glasses I finish it with no pain or anything else. They are just great. There are a little bit of bleed in the recordings, but nothing that you can't deal with. I've had them for more than a year and I would totally recommend them to everyone

You Get What You Pay For

Another confirmation that no miracles happen. These are regular headphones with mediocre sound. I didn't have any high expectations, so I am fine with that. I was buying them for using with my laptop, mostly for watching movies and videos. They are good for this purpose, but I wouldn't use the for any serious work. The good thing I would like to point out is a very long cable, which is very convenient sometimes.

Update after some months of usage: they are fine for movies indeed, but listening to music causes some ear fatigue if used for more than an hour. There are audible resonances in high-mid range.

Excellent for the price.

I use these all the time. Not so much while working on music because they're not super flat but for listening to finished mixes on a more "hifi" pair of headphones. They are comfortable to wear for a long time and you can hear detail at low volumes. Would definitely recommend as general headphones for the price but I wouldn't be using them for mixdowns or serious detail work.
