  • Solid Headphones impressive for 100$
Style: K275
Overall I like these headphones and I'm probably going to keep them, but do keep in mind I'm writing this review the day of getting them so I cannot speak on long term usage and durability. Im also not a super hardcore audiophile, but I am a musician and beat producer who has tried lots of headphones in the 50-150$ price range. And I know a good set when I hear it. So here is my review Sound -note that I did not do any sort of burn in process with these besides listening to YouTube music for a few hours on medium volume BASS- These are not bass boosted headphones and they aren't meant to be, I'd say the bass is satisfying to my purpose which is making beats. It is clean and very detailed, it might not be Sennheisers 300$ kind of detail but for this price I think it's great. I can hear the actual bass notes change in the song . It's not super loud and it doesn't necessarily"thump" but it is good. and even for casual listening I found myself head bopping. But like I said it's not loud or bloated at all. Overall, I like it and I think it will be good for 808 mixing. You just have to remember the car speakers or someone's beats are gonna make that bass sound way louder then it does when you mix it. MIDS - These are a bit mid heavy I will say. I say that because it seems like they push vocals to the front of the mix. listening to songs on YouTube sounded amazing because vocals are crisp, clear and right in your ears but not distorted. I listened to Instant Crush by Daft Punk for example and I loved it, it was like Julian was right in front of me singing in perfect tune and frequency. It is ALMOST to the point where it's too loud of vocals and you can't appreciate the instrumental enough. At first this kind of bothered me but eventually I got used to the sound. The instrumental still sounds good it just kind of hangs behind the vocals when listening to songs. And I assumed this is because the headphones are mid heavy. HIGHS- the clarity in the highs il admit is not mind blowing on first day of listening. But it's also not bad. I can't really fault it at this price. It does the job certainly and none of the frequencies overpower each other because sound stage and imaging is actually fantastic on these for the price in my opinion. Everything is separated well and you can hear each frequency clearly. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the highs since they don't take away from the overall listening experience Comfort - So these are not the most comfortable headphones ever but they are also not terrible. I wore them for a few hours with no issue. However, in order to have no issue I had to make some adjustments. The "self adjusting" headband these have I feel only works when bigger heads stretch it out. But it doesn't actually form down to smaller heads. I have a smaller head and these sat too low on my ears. So in order for them to fit comfortably I had to add some foam to the headband making them sit higher on my head. Not a huge deal but something to note. They also are kind of loose on my head probably because of my small head though. The ear pads aren't luxury but they are actually pretty soft and do the job just fine. They did not get hot for me after hours of listening. Build - I think the build quality of these is on par if not better than it's competition. It seems like they are made out of a cheaper metal but it feels sturdy enough just don't stomp on them or anything crazy. The headband seems the suspect for first thing to break if something does besides internal hardware. Otherwise they come with a very nice quality bag that is pretty thick and soft on the inside. Conclusion - like I said this is all based on one day of listening. But overall I enjoyed these headphones enough to listen for a few hours and I will probably keep them for making beats. I think the sound is balanced enough for it and its pretty much slightly above average for all sound requirements. I always have multiple headphones anyway for checking mixes but these should be a nice addition to those. I think if you can get these for 100$ or less you will not be disappointed and I don't think I mentioned this earlier In the review but these would be awesome for recording/tracking vocals. Thanks for reading my long review guys take care :). ... show more

  • A Closed-Back Contender
Style: K275
AKG is a bit hit or miss, these days. Since it's made in China, if you receive a properly made pair, the K275 plays above its price point. Many may not like the warm, mids-centric, non-bass heavy, neutral sound. The typical AKG (against your head support system) is not going to please everyone. Sonically though, the headphone is pleasing and very competent. I found it to be better detailed than the highly touted K371 and more enjoyable than the higher priced and shouty K702. For my ears, the stock pads were actually the most favorable. Ear pad rolling opened it up musically but with a trade-off in resolution. With those nice 50 mm drivers, it takes EQ very well. I take one star off though, for having to unfortunately replace the unacceptable cheaply made cable. All in all, with a new cord, it's a $100 closed-back worth considering. ... show more

  • Great overall headphone, with minor caveats.
Style: K275
I do want to clarify that I really like these headphones and would totally recommend them for casual listening of detailed classical music, and a wide variety of other music, up to technical death metal and stuff that would otherwise lose lots of detail on cheap drivers. Well, these aren't particularly expensive either, but happy with quality of seal and sound. They might sound a bit underpowered to some, so be ready to increase the volume in most of your mobile devices. I wasn't able to discern any obvious distortion or loss of quality at higher volumes. Listening to Hilary Hahn's violin or Alexandra Spence's serene voice is quite enjoyable, as if they were playing in a room next to you with the open door. Same with heavily distorted guitars and technical drumming like in several Tesseract and Messhugah albums. Coming from pretty regular in–ear headphones, I'm quite satisfied with the sound quality of these. What I got a gripe with is that the synthetic leather headband started peeling off at the edges near the stitching within days of pretty regular use. Honestly. it seems like these were improperly stored because that's what usually happens to synthetic materieal when you store it in relatively warm environments. The three–metre long OEM cable (which I don't regularly use, by the way) also shows signs of this because the straight section keeps a pretty stubborn coil shape up to this day. The finish of the cable is actually very good, otherwise. The cushioning of the pads is pretty comforable and warm. If you live in a tropical country like I do, you will sweat them a lot. This doesn't seem to affect the finish of the surface of the pads, which I'm pretty happy about, but it does at the inner seams. Yes, one of the pads started coming apart at the inner seam. Pretty discouraged at first, but decided to take them off and with a bit of crazy glue and lots of care, it became a pretty easy fix. Also, the pads are in fact small, or rather shallow actually. I have relatively small ears and I can still feel the inner border of the driver cover with the edge of my ear. It doesn't bother me really, but someone with larger ears might seriousy consider aftermarket pads along with this purchase. Other than this, the finishes are well done and looks pretty nice at a quick glance. One looks like a retro–modern radio operator when wearing them, which is faintly ridiculous in a good way LOL I do like that aesthetic, being honest. Overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase, as no product is actually perfect and this one delivers well for what it is intended for. ... show more
