    These AKG K72 headphones are not good audio quality. I'm not sure what other reviewers were listening to when they gave positive reviews. I bought on sale and they were inexpensive at about $28, and online Soundguys have tested and show that the audio is very uneven across the frequency range. Basically, these K72's make audio sound 'muddy'. I have compared with my old Sony MDR-7506 and my Audio Technica ATH-M35. Huge difference in quality compared to these K72's. Listening to audio on the computer, the audio sounds like there is too much low midrange and very little in the high midrange and high. AKG failed here in my opinion. My Sony MDR-7506's I use with my Kurzweil piano and all the nice 'sparkle' of the piano tones that I hear on my Sony's are completely muffled and gone on the AKG K72's.

    So anyone looking at these headphones is probably in the same boat that I was. Looking to get a nice pair of headphones that don't break the bank. So i did that and I ended up buying these. My use for them was for my electric drum set. now these headphones are HORRIBLE to be used with a drum set, and for that matter I would say musical instruments as a whole. There is ZERO sound isolation, so you hear all ambient noiSes (i.e the drum sticks hitting the rubber crash symbols) it is very frustrating trying to play a set and haRDLY BE ABLE TO HEAR THE MUSIC OVER AMBIENT NOICES. Now if you were just gettign these to listen to music or watch a movie on your computer, then yeah these would work fine, and thats the only reason I gave 2 stars. If I judged these soley on one method of application, then they would have recieved 0 stars. Suck it up, cough up a few extra bucks, and buy a better quality headphone. I wish I did that, would have saved me the hassle of going back to exchange it.

  • Cheap - Don't Even Bother with These

    Bought this based on reviews as a good even balanced headphone for mixing. Thought I might get a deal. In the words of Trump... "WRONG!" Bad connection in the wire at the plug. So I brought it back. Tried another one at the store... the same problem. Tried a third... again, the same problem. I don't care how cheap a set of headphone are, they should at least work to the point where the sound can be evaluated. Couldn't even get there with these. In the words of Trump... "LOSER!" (Non political satire... just using phrases)

  • I would puchase this product again.
