3.5 to 4 points: smooth shield but clean sound

I had bought the headphones for the following reasons:
# 1 closed design, so ambient noise can be shielded
# 2 ears and enclosing not overwhelming
# 3 decent sound
# 4 replaceable cables, solid build

to
# 1: The attenuation of ambient noise through the material of the shell is barely
recognizable (conversations in the office). Others can supposedly better
This is the main reason why there are no five points.
I kept the headphones anyway because the Ausbelenden around with something
more volume still succeed. Thanks to the neat sound that's doable.
# 2: Yes, as expected. AKG provides with even two different thickness padding.
Exchange I have not tried it yet
# 3: The weak basses were now already often mentioned in other recessions:
The bass is clearly present but have no "oomph", which I wonder if something like that
with a headphone is possible. For bass I think more of subwoofers ...
One should be aware that these headphones have been designed as a studio monitor,
then you have a pretty good idea of ​​what it sounds like: pretty clear highs and
In the middle: I did it with many a song Details to hear that one with
the in-ear from the iPod / iPhone does not stop.
# 4: The replaceable cables is equal to twice delivered:
Once straight and long and even spiral and it shorter.
However, if at some point have to replace the longer is an expensive AKG product
instructed as AKG does not use the usual 3.5mm headphone port on the blade, as the
other manufacturers do.
Coupled with the fact that the device was built in PRC, there is also this one
slight deduction.
Conclusion:
Many nowadays in view of beats or Skullcandy price no more than high
designate. In principle, everyone has to decide whether it is worth the price itself. It helps to determine
even choose a different headphones and compare.
