AKG quality, no worries there.
I was using Sony and Samson over ear headphones for ages, before getting these AKG's. I was so pleased with my AKG 451's that it was a logical leap to monitoring headphones of the same make. I checked out Sennheiser and while others say they're better, I didn't see it, testing a range of audio styles including my own compositions. With these AKG's, I have a relatively flat equaliser setting on my PC now with only a smidgen of bass boost and I reckon I can balance my tracks better for listening on my phone and on the car hifi, so all round good performance. Slightly warm on the ear, after an hour or so, but that's liveable with the positive performance otherwise.
