It is not even a month since I have and I am delighted.

Excellent audio quality and very balanced: my EQ Archos7 is neutral, I did not need to modify the spectrum regardless of the type of music.
In all that is electronic beats (dance floor, r & b ...), it is the very deep bass that stand out: sometimes a little too much, but this is due to the exaggerated bass in the mix of producers in vogue .
Everything that is instrumental, is very rich in detail, the bass are present and not invasive because thanks to the balance with the medium, treble, you get something very powerful.
Really, the sound is excellent!
In addition, I use it in transit, and such, I am surprised, I can enjoy my favorite music to blow up the decibels, it has at any time with a very good sound isolation headphones.

Despite the fact that the headphone is very well built, the hull exudes quality, I doubt very much the weak link of headphones: the cable. The jack is not bent, it is completely right as an "I", it is sheathed 3cm in length, but still, the false contact can happen at any time.
When will the manufacturers we will finally lay a system of interchangeable plugs with jack resoldering (such as electric guitars what?)?
The arrival of the earphones cables are also protected, it's better than my Koss PortaPro who dropped me at that level ...
Comfort level: It is comfortable for 3 / 4 hours after it hurts me to flags, it's not very serious, at least it prevents them from listening too long protracted.
Cable length: way too long! Not practical when traveling, and can cause clashes that damage the cards.

I tried other models recently Seinheiser PX-100 (good), PX-200 (disappointing and worse than PX-100), Koss PortaPro.
The AKG is well above the rest, I would have kept the PortaPro, its audio quality was very good and I was satisfied. But there! It's a slap that I took when I tried it by chance in a store.

For the price at traditional retailers (100 €) is a bit of the flight, I will not have not taken (with regret, however), but by looking at other resellers, you can find it at € 52 , and there, it's worth it!

I'm recommending it to everyone around me, and no fault anything about its sound quality. The only flaws that may deter you are the size and comfort.
If you do not block, you could try it, you'll be convinced!
