design still closes around the ear cups gives a level of isolation
lightest over-ear headphones
Mine have become a little bit frayed over the years
no audio frequencies get lost due to a lack of capability in these cans
The construction of the headphones is primarily plastic
sound and music will also seep out of the headphones
the headphones neither look nor feel cheap

the bass is quite bizarre
bass are underestimated by the semi-closed headphones
Not everything needs to be a science a project
Bass distortion on this headphone is crazy
Poor AKG was dragged along in the wake
your ears are not going to get hot after many hours of use
Lengthy listening periods will not then be a problem
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
do not take these headphones out for a spin on the train
cables snapped or frayed within just a few months
Sub-bass response is lacking
headband rails and plastic pivot points

sound a bit harsh and even piercing in the higher frequencies
They also have a pretty bland color scheme
bulky
cumbersome build is a bit unstable on the head
