AKG have a smoother treble and feel better built
sound is great for drum sounds
The mids and highs are clear and sound great

the cable is so long and straight
in-line volume control and mute button
Never had to replace mine
accidentally ripped the cord out of the socket
midbass and bass tones that stand out
wears out or breaks you can replace just the cable and not your set of headphones
Their highs are still not super bright nor forward
STUDIO does not have a microphone and a remote
STUDIO does not have Bluetooth
STUDIO has 1 driver per side
Mine have become a little bit frayed over the years
design still closes around the ear cups gives a level of isolation
no audio frequencies get lost due to a lack of capability in these cans
lightest over-ear headphones
your ears are not going to get hot after many hours of use
the mids never get crowded and are allowed to shine
The bass has been rolled off quite dramatically
No playing around with controls or using and pulling extendable arms
Lengthy listening periods will not then be a problem
Not everything needs to be a science a project
Bass distortion on this headphone is crazy
Poor AKG was dragged along in the wake
differentiation performance is relatively poor
It s a bit warm
The artificial leather pads are prone to make your ears sweat
it s definitely not a sound signature for everyone
There s no peak to speak of in the high treble
it s a bit more difficult to drive than a 300 Ohm headphone
treble isn t recessed nor is it too bright
their build quality is lacking
Leaky
not designed for bus journeys
rarely models form the Pro side of the business
They also have a pretty bland color scheme
sound a bit harsh and even piercing in the higher frequencies
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
bulky
cumbersome build is a bit unstable on the head
lack a bit of bass and do not sound
the cable seems to wear out or break for some
bass sounds weak
the cable feels a little thin
lack of strong sound isolation on these
