Hello, I have the headphones now since about 3 months and they are just great! AKG up! They are not the best of the best but great for me. The sound quality is great! I have now tested the headphones with rock, punk, metal, classic, house, electro and Dupstep and must say that they are suitable for all! To carry them are very pleasant and even after 4 - 6 hours really super. Typical AKG the thicker cable with the large gilded jack. In addition, a small but good detail, the cord reinforcement to the pawl. It is very effective against cable break what now times too often. (Almost a breaking point with other manufacturers ...) All in all a recommendation for those who want to spend too much money on good headphones ^^
