If you need a sealed headphone that you can wear indefinitely, this is as good as it gets for the money.� The headband, big earcups, and light weight make it easy to wear.� The sound is clear and detailed but relaxed, so it's endlessly listenable.

One downside: the same sonic character that makes it so listenable also slightly saps the excitement.� While you can get some of it back with some EQing, there are better options if a lively and/or hard-hitting sound is your main priority.

I listen to a lot of hard-hitting electronic music, so I often prefer my Audio Technica ATH-M50x for shorter listening sessions.� But for just sitting somewhere indefinitely, listening to a wide variety of audio, the AKG K271 MkII is my pick hands-down.

I purchased a set of these for my home studio after using them in a variety of settings in the studio where I work. As others have mentioned, the bass response can be a bit deceiving. But I wouldn't recommend mixing with headphones alone anyhow. For composing/writing in the middle of the night or tracking live instruments, these headphones are perfect. (And much cheaper here, I might add).

Awesome headphones...owned my pair since 2013 and they are still going...the coiled cable finally started fraying at the connection point a few weeks ago but it works...never had to switch cables til now...I think that speaks for itself. Ive travelled with headphones everywhere...abused them...and they just work. If they were lost/stolen/destroyed today id order another paid tomorrow. 

Sound quality is subjective i suppose depending on your needs...I use them when video editing on the road, and monitoring audio on video shoots...I think they sound really good...better than the Sony 7506 that are a staple in my field. Isolation is really good too...Not the best ive experienced but close.

Exactly what I needed. I was getting used to practicing guitar with my music sitting on a chair while hunching over it. Now I can practice my instrument using proper posture without having a lot of apparatus taking up space.

Mine are still made in Austria, too bad the new ones are made in China. But nonetheless... These are excellent tracking headphones. Not very useful for casual listening, though they sound great, but not nearly as comfortable for any lengthy listening like an open back can would be.

I was looking for affordable studio headphones to mix and master my own music tracks, basically guitars, bass and drums at night so my family wouldn't have to sleep in a tent ;-). As of today the sound quality is very good. The bass is not overwhelmed, mid and highs are very well balanced. If you are bass and highs lover they are not for you. They are not 100% studio monitors replacement but for occasionally work at night and tracking are perfect. I have to mention that my head is a size of melon so I'm always worry about the comfort. In this case is no issue.

Best sounding cans ever. Great isolation for studio work.

What first drew me to these headphones is that they create a soundstage where you can recognize individual instruments in the mix as they are panned from left, center, right, and all points in between. Most headphones can't achieve this, but these babies do it easily. I use them for both work, as a sound recordist for motion pictures, and personal listening as well. I know what I'm recording when I wear these. I can't say the same for the typical Sony headphones.

Great headphones has good bass for what I listen to which is trans and classic Disco rock could have more bass

Solid stand without any flex, and has a great finish which is very slightly textured paint so things don't slide around on it. Stand fits perfectly atop my Yamaha Motif 88 key keyboard. Yes It arches over, but doesn't touch the control screen and some buttons - but I'm not needing to switch settings or presets when playing piano sheet music.
