Great for Gaming

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2023

I only use this a few hours a day for gaming, but they are very light weight, very comfortable to wear and the sound is good for gaming. To me the dialogue and words are very important when gaming so the bass being in the mid level range is perfect. I ordered an amp to use with these but I don't even need it.

Not great for recording

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2023

These were fairly disappointing to me (although I'll add a caveat to that later). The sound that comes out of these is bottom-heavy and woofy. They do okay when it comes to not bleeding out, but I find it very difficult to sing when wearing them; my voice has lost all of its brightness. In addition to not hearing myself WELL, I don't feel confident because I don't sound GOOD to myself.

These were replacement for a pair of nice SHURE headphones that broke. I didn't want to spend a lot of money this time around, so I went for cheap. I figured since they were AKG, they would be decent, even if they were one of their low-end products. So the caveat is, you get what you pay for, and if you don't want to spring for more expensive headphones, these may very well be the best you'll get in this price range.

I'm using them for now, and eventually I'll spring for another nice set of headphones, and then these will be demoted to use just for the kids when they want to record, and hopefully the more expensive phones will therefore last longer!

I bought these to replace an older AKG headphone and also to use for a small home recording studio.
They sound great and also work well listening to music on a stereo.

Very good, but...

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

I will echo another review here. I bought these primarily for streaming video and such on my tablet, and for that these are very, very good. Curiosity got me and I tried to use them for just music listening and....the mids are just... terrible. So much so, I would junk these. But for streaming video, spoken word, etc. this is a very good purchase, and one I gladly recommend. And they are very comfortable.

Very good quality headphones for the money

Very good quality headphones for the money. I had some for about $10-15 less that I'd been using for several years. These feel and sound amazing. I know there are better ones out there with more features but the sound quality is great for my needs.

Stopped transmitting sound after one month, *warranty NOT honored when purchased from this seller*!

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

One of the earphones stopped transmitting sound after only 1 month! Headphones are not eligible for exchange or return outside of the 30 day window ( they stopped working on day 33), so I contacted the manufacturer directly and provided proof of purchase to request warranty repairs. The manufacturer denied the warranty on the product, refusing to repair or replace the headphones, because they were purchased from this seller, not directly from Amazon. Had I realized purchasing from this seller would void the warranty, I would not have made the purchase. Disappointed in the quality of the product. Disappointed my rights as a customer were compromised because I trusted Amazon was a trustworthy, safe place to make purchases. Do not recommend this product and especially do not recommend this seller.

The left cushion won't stay on

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2023

Verified Purchase

At least twice a day, the left ear cushion falls off because it's loosened by the cable placement, and it's very annoying to put back on (15+ minutes each time). I've wasted so much time trying to reassemble it, and I can't take it anymore. I'm replacing these with something I don't need to constantly fight with.
