The sound is just right for my taste, the so-called neutrality infuriating audiophile headphones but really no fun! A little more bass and treble to a pinch and you can be enjoyable listen to music. Very well done, AKG!
Something loud they could be, the efficiency of my Sony plugs is significantly higher.
All in all, recommended headphones that keep hope long (the vulnerability is likely to also be here the cable).
