The only problem I have with these headphones is the fact that I can't take them outside, they are terrible at blocking out ambient noise

My last headphones were rated at 107dB, and they isolated 40dB of ambient noise.

I'm not a huge fan on the Semi Open design, mostly due to the fact that I have kids, and the amount of time I get to sit an listen to music in a quiet house is very, VERY limited...and when used in any environment with ambient noise, these become too quiet (IMO).That said, if you DO get the chance to sit and just enjoy these, the sounds is very good, and the cans are very comfy (I prefer the cloth covers)

If there is one drawback the semi-open style does let in a little ambient noise, so if you are listening to music while driving a cement truck these might not work for you

I wear them during the day while working, as ambient noises greatly disturb my train of thought.

They are light and the ear pieces cup your ears just enough to keep out ambient noise, but don't smash your ears into the side of your head

Switching over to a song I know has a lot of highs as well as

They don't fit quite as snug as I'd like, but they are secure on my head

but yea in all, the sound is amazing but not that loud by themselves, the cable dosnt bug me as

I was really looking forward to enjoying them as it was my first AKG purchase, and after seeing the great reviews, I couldn't wait

They are used recreationally as well as in a studio setting

To me they sound great, as good as my M-Audio studio monitors

although they are this durable i still like to take care of
