Review: Best Buy Under £50 - These headphones are terrific value. Their solid build means they are going to last – AKG bent the cable 80,000 times during production just to test longevity. The generous padding is nice and comfy, while the 3m cable provides enough play for listening comfortably at home. This is a classic studio headphone design, and while you could just about get away with wearing these out on the street, the long cable demonstrates that they're not made specifically for that purpose. The sound is pleasingly expansive, with a breadth and scale rarely found in the kind of headphones you'd normally see on the high street at this sort of price. They certainly come across as smooth, not to mention the controlled bass. The midrange isn't quite as clean as you would like, but for the money, these are amongst the best over-ear headphones if affordability is a factor.
Review: Needs to be EQ'd - TL/DR Good for the price, need to be EQ'd & if you aren't on a budget I'd look elsewhere. I've been using these headphones for music production, music listening and a bit of "competitive gaming". Initial impressions were poor and I definitely recommend you EQ these headphones to either your own preference or if you want them to be completely flat for those of you who like to mix and master music, as these have neither a good flat frequency response curve nor a good out of box sound profile. The headphones have a nice long cable (Read paragraph 3) & they feel a bit cheap but not fragile. Once these headphones are EQ'd they sound above and beyond for the price, for music production and mixing they have pretty good overall clarity & for gaming they are quite the treat to use too owing to the fact that the left & right "stereo" sound is very very nicely defined and can sometimes give you a bit of an advantage. There is a small but noticeable at times amount of cable noise (noise that reverberates through the cable into the ear cups themselves), for it to be noticeable though you have to be quite rough with the cable or be fidgeting with it. For those on a low budget they are a bit above acceptable I'd say, but if you have a bit of a bigger budget behind you I'd definitely look elsewhere.
