Reviews around detail (5.00 of 5)

  • Good detail and isolation (with the vinyl pads) with minimal bleed for vocal tracking though which is why I bought them and what AKG advertises as their primary purpose

Reviews around filter (5.00 of 5)

Reviews around end (2.54 of 5)

  • You want to get decent fidelity out of your top end and not get any clipping or buzzing and you want to hear some decent low bottom end
