AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the sound quality of the headphones. They say the bass alone will move them around, the highs and lows are amazing, and the noise cancelling is great. The lows, mids, and highs are well-balanced, and resonating. They are a studio monitor as well as casual listening headphones. The design and material feel is good, but the pleather easily comes undone and prone. The mids and high are crystal clear with lots of detail. Overall, customers are satisfied with the sound and recommend them to others.

I usually use a pair of grado SR-60s at home which I love and think are well balanced for my taste music I like (indie, classical, 60s soul, some IDM). Those don't work for the office because of the open air design, so I use Standard apple earbuds. At first seems these seemed overly bassy and a little muddy, but after a couple of days realized I was probably used to tinny Apple earbuds, and pairs really fast with iPhone 6 iOS10, all button gestures work well. Everyone has already mentioned that these sound good, so I will mention that they block sound in my office well (half the reason I got them). They are a little heavy but I got used to that quickly. Battery is still going after the first charge 3 days ago. Bag is neoprene. When used with included cord, sound the same to my ears. I tried a pair of $400 Bluetooth Beats at target and really don't think they could be worth the extra $280, especially because the music most people listen to is probably compressed anyway. My only negative is that they don't fold much for being foldable, and if they lie flat around your neck, the speakers point up which is distracting if taking them off for a quick conversation. The power button is also easy to hit when folding for storage. These are minor complaints. Considering most reputable brand BT headphones are $70-100, at $119 these seem like a nice step up from overly bassy Skullcandy and a much cheaper option than Beats.
The construction quality is absolutely solid, with a good amount of metal, especially at this price point. The hinges are metal, the headband is metal, and the outer ear cups are metal. Fabrication is great with all parts functioning seamlessly. Very impressive first impression.
Could it get better? Well, yes, yes it can! The sound is absolutely amazing, irrespective of the price point. If you did a blind test with other high-priced bluetooth headphones, this would be right int he mix with all of them. I have the Sony 1000XM2, Sony WH-H900N (h.ear on 2) Bose QC 35, and Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless to name a few, and these hang right there with all of them. The form factor is different as an on ear design, but they are lightweight & comfortable, while also quite stable for the gym (weightlifting, machine weights, stair climber, etc).
BASS: Killer. Wow. Deep, resonating, yet distinct and separate from the mids, so there is no bleeding of the high bass into the low mids.
MIDS: Detailed and insightful. Vocals sound great and have a solid presence. Guitars sound magnificent.
HIGHS: Clean & crisp, yet not sibilant or harsh. Fine instrumentation is nicely detailed, bit it does not become too bright or fatiguing. This is the hardest frequency range to get right and AKG did a marvelous job here.
This, however, has cons such as unreasonable location of power button that many reviewers mentioned.
Also my volume + button doesn't work when it was pressed. It has to be hold and slide to left or right to work. Perhaps I received fauty unit?
This unit comes with soft carrying pouch, so it is somewhat vulnerable to damages. The joint of right ear cup popped out during my vacation while i carried it in my backpack.
Overall this is decent headsets with great sound quality and disappointed built quality. I recommend this, but make sure you get a hard case as well.

Current length of ownership at time of review: a mere 1 day, with 3 hours listening time (testing across all major genres from the 1950’s to present.
I will update this review as time goes by.
I have owned examples of some of the world’s greatest headphones. My usual home daily cans are amped vintage Sennheiser HD650s.
First impressions:
- Outstanding build quality (for the ridiculously low $100 price point). With quality metal joints & fittings to make them collapsible for a reduced packing footprint.
- Music reproduction is *outstanding*. These recovered some detail that was not nearly as easily resolved with my HD650s.
The top end is noticeably rolled off, however, all recorded high frequency sound is extremely clear in presention, without any sibilance, ringing, or fatiguing harshness whatsoever.
The midrange is slight subdued, but not to a level most listeners will find objectionable, as again it is rich and warm in presentation, likewise not lacking in detail.
The low end... this is where things are tricky. If you’re listening to these in a quiet environment, you’ll likely notice immediately how strong the bottom end is. Too strong... seemingly dramatic overkill. However, they appear to have been designed this way for two main purposes.
1 - To satisfy young adults who desire copious bass output, a la ‘Beats’ headphones.
2 - These frequency characteristics are generally employed in headphones being ‘the choice’ for outdoor excursions (size, Bluetooth, folding, ‘wear everywhere’ comfort). When used in such a way, many external environments quickly negate much low end output. The surrounding ‘sounds of life‘ are unwanted noise competing with the signal from your headphones. Despite the driver proximity to your ear, bass frequencies can still be heavily reduced in volume or their presence washed out completely. This excessive bass does an outstanding job of preserving the overall tonal balances.. With the overall result being pretty spectacular. I hardly see a need for Active Noise Cancellation. They’re outstanding in their isolation during playback.
All that, and a battery life of ~20 hours, and you’re set for some righteous grooving...
If you commute on a train or bus... you need these puppies.
