Sixty Years of Quality Sound, Sixty Years of AKG Expertise For more than 60 years, AKG microphones and headsets have been synonymous with professional audio excellence. Since it was founded in 1947, AKG has been passionately delivering superior-sounding, cutting-edge products. Within months of the company’s founding, its microphones were being used by radio stations, theaters and jazz clubs. A mere two years later, AKG headphones were introduced to the marketplace. AKG products quickly established a reputation for superior performance, and many musical artists started relying on them when it came to performing and recording. World-renowned artists used AKG products back in the 50s, while many of today’s most recognized artists swear by AKG products for live concerts and studio recording. More than 60 years and 1500 patents later, AKG continues to create innovative and exceptional-sounding products for both professional and personal use. So it stands to reason that AKG personal headphones deliver outstanding performance, unparalleled comfort and unmatched reliability. Choose the brand that the pros have chosen for so many years.

I have used these headphones for a couple of weeks now with my Ipod in a diversity of settings. I very much like the soundscape they produce. I mostly listen to classical music: treble, midrange and bass are nicely detailed. The sound is spacious, natural, and has that threedimensional quality and 'attack' that gives a satisfying listening experience. Bass is not boomy, which is a killer in classical music. In symphonic music, instruments are clearly distinguished and retain their distinct, individual qualities. Voices sound fully natural. Pop music comes out thrillingly alive. They are sufficiently sensitive to crank up volume levels to concert hall proportions.
Noise cancellation is remarkably good, given that these headphones do not cover the whole ear. it is hard to attach numbers to it, but I would say under normal circumstances they cancel out 80 percent of ambient noise. In a very noisy plane they still cancelled out enough noise to provide a satisfying listenign experience In my commuter train they cancel out almost all noise. I only notice a certain bass heaviness when the noise cancellation function is active.
They are reasonably comfortable, and very light. I have listened for several hours at length without noticing them on my head any more. The headphones come in a handy travelcase.
I can only compare them to expensive, open-back haadphones. These are not in that league, but they come close. As you cannot take hifi equipment on the road, these more than suffice fo rme. For the discerning listener who travels a lot, I recommend these headphones highly. Particularly as they are a lot cheaper than comparable Bose or Sennheiser noise cancellation headphones....

These headphones are by far the best sounding headphones I have ever heard under $300. I compared the AKG's with the Bose Quiet Comfort 15 and the Sennheiser PXC450 and the sound quality of the AKG's is so far superior to the other two that it was absolutely no comparison. I agree the Bose has the best noise-cancellation capability, but they do not work without a battery and way over emphasize the bass. The Sennheiser's were worthless for the outrageous cost. I tried...
