Not for music lovers - in the studio but mandatory

As mentioned in the title, this headset is not an option for the lovers of finished abgemischter music, either on CD or vinyl.
Headphones said this species are configured from the start sound technically different or manipulated.
More bass, less mids and hyped highs, just the typical sine curve, characterize this consumer headphones. What sounds quite pleasant, no question.
This present headphones from AKG however, uses a more nearly linear sound structure.
And that is essential in the studio.
Only in this way can be heard in the final mix, the individual frequencies more clearly and then can optionally edit.
Also good monitor speakers can not reproduce the sound as precise even though they operate on the same principle of linearity, since there is indeed still a certain distance from the ear available.
But monitor speakers are also essential, as this example the stereo depth and bass separation can be judged better than separate subwoofer.
In a good club so is definitely both available.

Scope of supply:

This is perfectly adequate.
It comes with two cables. A normal, non-stretchable cables and a coiled cable, similar to those which we still know from the phones of the 70s. On the cables a 3.5mm stereo jack is installed in each case.
An adapter to 6.5mm jack is also there. It is gratifying that these can be screwed and not only be plugged.
This gives security.
Two sets of ear pads are also there. One of them is leathery, the second with Velourüberzug and very velvety.
Since you sometimes comes quickly work up a sweat in the studio, I would always prefer the former. For the second, I have never used in 5 years.

To feel and to handling one can still say that the headphones also looks professional, which is quite useful to impress the studio Visitors ;-)
If you take the headset off his head and laid him beside her, silent once the music in the shells. Thus, the AKG is also for radio applications, etc. Podcast predestined. Because there one forgets fast times to pull the Headphone Gain down. I know of what I speak because ;-)

I own these headphones now already more than 5 years and can only certify good him. Never a misfire, no repair ... Nix. I have, incidentally, donned not only in the studio, but she had already on events. Every now and then I take it as a monitor receiver when shooting movies. Also for that they are perfect by their closed system, since external noise is largely shielded.

I can not help but to award full 5 stars.
