Quality: edgeedgeedgeedgeedge
Features: edgeedgeedgeedgeedge
Value: edgeedgeedgeedgeedge
Subject:I love these so much, I HAD to put in my 2 cents..
Quality: I bought them over 10 years ago and they still sound pristine. I have rolled over the cord with my chair many many times, and they have been dropped and abused in many recordings and they are still alive and well. The sound quality is just beautiful. They are so true and flat sounding; I always reference mixes with these cans along with my studio monitors. If mine EVER died, they would be replaced immediately... but after 10 years of regular use i don't think they will ever die!
Features: The best feature of this new improved model is that AKG has dropped the resistance and they are now LOUDER!! My old version has to be driven by a good headphone amp to really get a lot of volume out of them. These new ones work much better with any headphone output, and have the same amazing sound!
Ease of Use: The pads on these headphones are so comfy I can wear them all day if need be and they don't bother me. Plus they look super cool being all gold and big and stuff.
Value: YES! they are built like a tank and sound true! Buy them, you can thank me later!!!! And buy them here from AMS because they have the best deals and ship fast!!!!!!!!

Subject:Comfortable Headphones with High Quality Sound & Multiple Uses
Quality: These headphones are well-built and offer great sound quality. I purchased them for two reasons - to use while recording radio interviews and to listen to music. Since they're not totally closed, they allow just enough outside sound for me to hear my interviewees. In contrast, for music, I can listen loud and clear with little to no outside interference. Very dependable!
Features: The sound quality is wonderful and certainly the best quality. One feature I wouldn't mind adding is a volume dial on one of the ears, or the ability to detach the cord. Still, these are superfluous desires and don't impact the headphones' quality.
Ease of Use: Since this is a product that sits on your head, it's pretty easy to use. Plus, they self-adjust to your head - just one less step you need to take!
Value: These headphones are fantastic for the price paid. I've seen them advertised elsewhere, usually for upward of $250. AMS has the lowest price I've been able to find and it is extremely reasonable for this good find.

Subject:Great Headset - Make Quality Excellent
Quality: Very Dependable, Just wish the wire was a little thicker and stronger. I have had no issues with it yet. I just wish it kept a Little more sound in, Because I found when recording some sound would bleed.
Features: Mainly for listening and monitoring, Produces good quality sounds for editing.
Ease of Use: Very easy. Plug and Go~
Value: Price is Great for the Quality.
