AKGPro Audio AKG K182PROFESSIONAL Closed-Back Monitor HEADPHONESK182, Black, Standard Size (3103H00030)

Pros:+ Sound signature is pleasant with plenty of bass, but not enough to drown out the mids. Overall it's reasonably accurate.+ Good clamping force for taking these headphones on the go+ Very good isolation+ Ear pads are very comfortable as long as you don't mind the clamp+ 3D swivel function allows them to fold up into a small shape for easy transport+ It won't choke when worn on your neck with ear pads swiveled outwards+ It seems to be quite sturdy+ Comes with an AKG-branded storage bagCons:- The Mini XLR cable is very hard to remove. I've tried multiple AKG-brand cables, all with the same result. Perhaps the connector on my headphones was slightly out of tolerance.Final thoughts: A headphone this cheap shouldn't be this good. I even prefer it to its more expensive cousin, the K271.

Mid grade headphones that perform well and above average when compared to many other headphones in the same category/price range. With that being said, one shouldn't expect high fidelity sound out of these "mid grade" fones... they do what they are supposed to do well. I noticed the isolation was such as to create a vacume seal between my head and the pads, which would cause the driver to make "noise" as it adjusted to the difference in air pressure. I would describe it as a "crinkle" sound. Neutral sound with a slight emphasis on upper and lower frequencies.. but not "sibilant" or "boomy".. just present. There are betterfones out there, however there are worse aswell.. Consider these good "all arounders"... Not "hifi", and overall not exactly what I was looking for, but they are quality fones and do what they are supposed to do very well. Not for "Bass Heads"...

AKG Makes a variety of great headphones, unfortunately for me these just didn't quite make the grade. The are good, but not the AKG quality that I'm used to. A little too muddy sounding for my taste, esp when mixing music. I ended up returning them

Overall they are great headphones, only one thing Id like to figure out if they have a cable replacement just in case one breaks?

Wow!! AKG Amazing..After a lot of headphones I use - these give the best value for money. Full and big sound. Comfort in the ear amazingly. The quality of the materials is a bit low but the price really pays off. Recommend to anyone who wants to hear good music and doesn't care about the size. Recommend to any Dj. Also suitable for record the studio but the sound you get is much more than Flat. Therefore it is not suitable for sound editing. Also suitable for a drummer.

Great sound..doesn’t entirely block all noise but good enough. Recommended by a sound professional.

I'm using these for my Roland drums. I like a lot about these. Good fit, not overly large, and comfortable, but not big enough to completely encase my whole ear. Good mids, good bass, but lacking in highs and clarity. I have some Sony studio 7506's that are lacking in the bass dept, but they are much clearer and fit my ear better north and south wise. I like these, cause I can actually hear my bass pedal. I wish these two would have babies and make my perfect headphone.

First, understand that these are not general use headphones. They are purpose built headphones for musicians (DJs, drummers, etc). As such they have a sound signature that is far from neutral. They significantly emphasize the high and low ends to make it easier to pick out certain sounds like basslines and high-hats. If you are looking for headphones for general use or critical listening, I recommend looking elsewhere. I didn't understand what I was buying when I bought them and found the mids to be far too underrepresented and muddy for general listening. Also the 3m cable is designed for studio/club use and is far too long for normal listening.
