Excellent budget headphones from AKG
Its a very high quality product. Pros: Sound quality is excellent at this price. I am not an audio expert but I listen to audio of various kinds: rock, metal, jazz, kannada songs, youtube videos, podcasts, docus etc. There are no issues whatsover. Vocal quality as well as drums and guitars sound excellent. The headsets are comfortable for long use (Note: I dont wear specs). Cons: The only con for is the poor mic. You have to speak slightly louder than usual to get your voice out. So if you are very very particular about voice and mic then it may not be for you But for my use, I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Very value for Money.
Very high clarity headphones with very comfortable structure. The double RIM makes it fit my head without prior adjustment. The audio is the best part, due to flat excursion, the audio reproduction of this headphones is excellent. Note on wire: the wire has a male port you must unscrew before you are able to use its 3.0 mm jack. The product looks durable as well. HIghly recommend an AKG headphones.

Best possible headphones for PC in this price.
I brought k72 and honestly this was the best decision of my life, I am reviewing these after 2 years of use, if you are planning use these on pc, don't think just go for it, only one thing you need to keep in mind that if your environment is very noisy, then these headphones don't cancel noise that much. You will never feel uncomfortable ( I have used them for stright 8 hours) with these and Even if you feel that they are tight or loose you can just bend them. And the audio, that's exactly what you are paying for, best quality of you will ever hear in this price range.

Competent budget performer.
I wasn't expecting much from these, just a bit of late-night TV so I wouldn't disturb neighbors. They are outperforming their price by quite a bit. I'm not very much into headphones, this is my fifth unit and it's pretty solid for the price. The fit is comfortable, it's very light and the pressure on the ears is almost perfect. My ears do not touch the diffuser plate, so that's a relief. However they do press down on the stems of my spectacles, which makes sharp vision a bit of an issue when I use both together. As to the sound, it is heavily dependent on the upstream equipment. With a Topping DX3 Pro or a Fiio M3, it sounds fantastic, almost perfect balance with a slight lisp that serves as a highlight rather than a hindrance. With a MOTU M2 there is a slight lift through the midrange, which is very good for monitoring. With a Behringer UMC22, it is terrible - there's a lot of harshness through the upper mids and it needs to be EQ'ed a lot. The M50X, which I also own, doesn't have so much sensitivity, while still being revealing of the source. This is unfortunate, as I was hoping to use the AKGs with the UMC22 as a long-term partner. Oh well. Like the Superlux 668B, the right side gets signal through the headband but unlike it, these use an actual wire to connect the two ends instead of the headband itself. This means the wire is really thin and prone to breakage. I've not had a failure yet, but I don't use it more than a few hours a week. That might be an issue, or not. We'll see. There's actually very little I can complain about at this price, and that's saying a lot. I've never really been happy with budget headphones, so these break new ground. They perform respectably while not in the same league as the M50X or the MSR7B, and can happily give the HD280 a run for their money. I would handily recommend it both for casual use and entry-level monitoring work, just be sure to give it the right source.

Unremovable Cable
Day 1, Everything is fine including sound quality clarity, they are direct plug & play type headphones But I wanted removable cable and it is fixed cable so I do not prefer it , I think that if they had removable cable then the product longevity increased so yeah It is a Poor design. I liked only 1 part of it that this headphones are Over the ear type , they cover the whole ear so they don't hurt as on ear headphones Secondly I liked the sound they provided while playing any file it was balanced and not so much Loud and bassy

Amazing but it's not for everyone
So, here's some context before you read this... I am not an audio engineer or a seasoned audiophile by any means. That word gets thrown around a lot these days. I own a pair of Airpods Pro and needed a pair of secondary headsets for the following reasons. If you only want to know what they sound like, I've written about it at the end. 1. Comfort: I needed something light weight and over-ear since the Airpods can start causing discomfort to your ears if you use them over prolonged periods of time. The AKG K52's are amazing at this. You'll pretty much forget that you have them on. One thing to remember here is that if you're in a hot environment, you could sweat around where the ear pads are. Overall, my ears are thanking me for this decision. 2. Lossless Audio: If you own Bluetooth earphones like the Airpods/Airpods Pro/any Bluetooth headset, you'd be aware that it doesn't support lossless audio on Apple Music. If you'd really like to take a crack at that, these are some of the cheapest headsets with 40mm drivers. Your next best options are by Audio Technica but they cost significantly more. Since I was only looking for a secondary pair, this was a good middle ground. 3. Not worry about batteries: Owning bluetooth headsets can be agonising if you wanna listen for long hours. Especially since in between I'm just watching random YouTube videos. So, I decided to pick up these wired ones. How do they sound? A: Well, they sound great but this largely depends on your taste in music. They have a very neutral sound profile. If I had to point out the biggest difference between Airpod Pro's and these is 'Immersion'. These definitely don't feel as immersive as more expensive headsets but that would be unfair to expect at the price. I'm not saying they're "good for the price", they're just good in general. But don't expect a thumping bass or exaggerated sound profiles, it's not meant for that. I'd recommend other headsets for those. If you're into Low-fi Hip Hop, Chill mellow music, Jazz, Acoustic music etc. these are insanely good. Great for podcasts as well. But if you're someone who loves to blow the music out at full volume and enjoy some good deep bass / loud Bollywood (I do too from time to time), these aren't the headsets for it. It can be slightly uncomfortable to listen to these at 100% volume for long hours. They're best at 50% so you can relax and work while you're listening to music. Hope that's as detailed as possible for you to make your decision. :)

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.

bon produit
Le casque AKG K72 est un excellent choix pour le monitoring et l’écoute de tous les jours. La qualité sonore est claire et détaillée, avec des basses précises et des médiums bien équilibrés. Le design fermé permet une bonne isolation, ce qui est idéal pour se concentrer sur la musique ou le mixage. Le casque est confortable même pour de longues sessions grâce aux coussinets doux et à l’arceau ajustable. La construction est solide tout en restant léger, ce qui le rend agréable à porter. Pour son prix, c’est un produit très performant que je recommande vivement aux amateurs de musique et aux professionnels en quête d’un bon casque fermé.

The King's cans in this price range (and beyond)
I've been a long-time AKG fan, I've owned all sorts of headphones throughout the years but the K77's I bought about 10 years ago have exceeded my expectations for the price point that I've looked no further since. Unfortunately, one of the drivers stopped working eventually (or could be the cable, which can't be replaced). Immediately, I went to look for a newer AKG offer and the K120 seemed to be the best choice. Unfortunately, those cans sounded flat and blocked none of the ambient sound. Fortunately, these K72s were the other "Amazon's choice" and I absolutely love them. Supremely lightweight and comfortable, for a guy with large ears I can wear them on extended basis with no issues at all, very large cup. And the stretchable band has been improved significantly. Long cable for comfortable movement. The sound profile on these is fantastic. It is not the flat reference sound of the K120, these have a punch on both the bass and highs and respond excellently to EQ adjustments. They can be used for enjoying music just as much as producing it. Also the low resistance means I can turn the volume down to 25-30% on my PC and it would get as loud as standard reference cans at 80%. Build quality looks solid, despite it being all plastic. They're very flexible (and of course as mentioned comfortable). If you didn't know, one might assume they're worth $500 based on the sleek design. Absolutely love these, you can't go wrong, and here's to another 10 years.
