great headphones, very tough

Wow. Bought these and got more than I expected. They seem light and very fragile, but these things take a beating, from dropping, yanking on the cord, hitting with drum sticks and anything else you could imagine to happen in a studio, and they work fine. One of the best buys out there.

I like this set of headphones for recording. You might want to adjust the bass down a bit during recordings. You get more than you would expect for the price. They're the most comfortable headphones I've ever used and I'm ordering another set when I'm through writing this review.

These headphones are perfect for what I needed them for, which was basic listening while practicing guitar. They are so light weight you could almost forget you had them on. They also so really good, I had a pair of Numark headphones, and those come nowhere close to the quality that these headphones produce. For the price, they can't be beat.

These AKG K 55 headphones are light weight and comfortable.Closed back ears might sweat alittle mine have but they don't ache.They have a nice sound and help isolate sound at ear.I run them out of my Digitech RP 350.For what I need and cost wise there good.

Great Sound, Weak Cable

I bought two pairs of these, and one had weird phase cancellation and spotty sound after less than a week. I love the sound that they produce, but the cabling is pretty weak. The issue is that the 3 conductors in the cabling are only insulated by some sort of colored coating. It doesn't take much for this coating to wear and short out. Buy these and replace the cables. You'll be in good shape then.
