With my old headphones I was always concerned about them snapping on me, but these have a much more comfortable and robust design and construction

I seriously love the headband design

The design is not flashy, yet sleek at the

Great sound, great design

Plus the semi-open design gives you decent isolation without cutting you off from the world

I love the design with the gold rings.

Like a lot of AKGs, the physical design is weird, and you'll probably either love it or hate it

Sennheiser hd 598 great design and very comfortable but not so great soundPioneer hdj 2000 great headphones but lot of bassSony mdr X10

I also enjoy the semi-open design of the headphones, I can hear my roommate if he is talking to me without having to take them off

Flashy design, but over all just a cheap product and disappointing.

They sound great and are very well designed

but again, not as loud as something designed for a portable device

I admit that I was expecting more low bass due to the semi-open design as opposed to a pair of open design headphones I use

You could pay more for sleeker design and more refined materials

Amazing design powerful bass but recessed mids and highsSennheiser momentum: very nice design but was disappointed with sound qualityBeyerdynamic dt880 pro: very nice design and comfortable but too much bassThese were some of headphones in my

Excellent overall quality build and design.

Like a lot of AKGs, the physical design is weird, and you'll probably either love it or hate it

It's a stronger fit than other headphones I've used with removable wires, but also a slightly confusing design choice

The classic AKG design was found everywhere- radio stations, studios, on location, at home

The open-back design is inappropriate for recording (they are not marketed for that purpose), as sound can bleed into microphones

I love AKG and the design they have for the head band, every big headphone should have this band

its not that bad.. not sure how the other expensive ones sound but its not the worst.. for over $70 though, you expect a little more.. design is really excellent otherwise..

I worked professionally developing audio, PC and other electronic equipment for over 25 years, designed many such devices, and have used headphones fairly extensively for over 30 years.

though.-Design is nice and these don't look as ridiculous on one's head as a lot of studios can

They appeared well designed and made

First off they are semi-open which is usually my favorite design.

The whole design makes these headphones flexible, so if you like to DJ and/or produce music using one

Wish they would make professional mixing headphones in different sizing, because it seems like they are all designed for large man heads and never for petite ladies.

but AKG should have designed ear pads which don't crack because people are wearing them a lot

Good design.

Like reference monitors, reference headphones are designed to output "true" sound, without added sweetening, bass, midrange, etc.

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