zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Includes 9 ft, 9 in. cable and standard stereo phone plug; 600 ohm impedance.

These 8.5 oz. headphones provide high quality directional sound perspective and distance discrimination, faithfully simulating hearing in natural room conditions.

The circumaural (around-the-ear) pads are designed for hours of wearing comfort, while the steel-cable, self-adjusting headband construction, and single-sided professional quality audio interconnect ensure extended reliability in demanding professional studio applications.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I've had mine for 13 years. I've tried others and have been very disappointed in comparison. I'm going to buy 2-3 more sets of these.
Sound
Crystal clear highs and lows at all volume levels. Can take very high volumes and stay clear.
Features
Well, what kind of features do you get with any headphones? Not much. Very comfortable to wear for many hours.
Quality
At first, this unit seems cheaply made. Don't let it fool you. I've had a set for 13 years, and they are in as good condition now as the day I bought them. That's 13 years of consecutive studio use, and not handled with kid gloves. They get tossed around, stepped on, crushed by guitars and all sorts of other studio equipment, and I've rolled over the cable with my chair at least a hundred times, and not a single problem with them. They are very tough.
Value
These are the best sounding headphones I've ever used at any price. The fact that they are very reasonable priced makes them even better.
Manufacturer Support
N/A - haven't had to deal with AKG, no problems.
The Wow Factor
The best.
