Not neutral but definitely not negligible

I use it for one day.

I have tried many models and it is part of having headphones caught my attention. Indeed, I was looking for a lightweight headphone, a slightly warm and well defined bass round to listen to all kinds of music from jazz to the House)

What I love most, well defined bass, its lightness, its cushions, comfort, price and the long cable that most stands out.
The least, the arch that I did not look very solid and the definition of acute back slightly but nothing serious for listening.

Value / price ratio for this headphone!

If my criteria were the same, of course I would do the same choice.

As it is rarely possible to listen before you buy something, my troubles with headsets are nothing new. Historically, I've been true to Sennheiser, my disappointment in last 2 Intra atrial and Closed (HD380Pro) made me lose confidence in the brand: the lows, the lows, the lows that makes listening tiring, monotonous. Very disappointed with AKG Studio Headphones, I tried my luck with an intra atrial - disappointment ... again. If the bass is balanced this time, the acute shortage is hard and you pull out your ears. But the balance was still better then any others. And after, one afternoon in a supermarket of home appliances, I did a sort of test bench with the AKG 520. Good!

White is not my style but still, it's the listening that counts.  And there ... surprise! Nice surprise despite the music not to my taste (not to say anything else) which seems to have been chosen to sell! Surprise again: you can plug this device its own music player! go! my own recordings and some other AAC good resolution ... it is confirmed! it's very good! there is always a serious exaggeration in the sub-type but not for always changing with the music! The medium is excellent although not as good as my Grado 325, and the treble is a not bad with high amount and class distinction. An excellent dynamic ... The impedance is low enough to have a standard with a laptop but not high enough to make the same knee mobile. The comfort is excellent, with the atria in tissues, the hoop well calculated. The cable from one side of the headphone: Another good point! this cable is about 2m for me, good point! Screwed adapter mini jack and standard jack: seen but very good solution. Protection worthy of a semi open! no miracle but in the street with your players at 2 / 3 power it is perfect! It is light enough to forget about this. DJ gentlemen forget, it's half open! In conclusion it's all good! The case of the century! The sleight of hand moves from AKG! It is unlike any other I know AKG or I could listen. Forget her and move on to the music: it is fluid, but very detailed and surgical, virtually perfect integration of all records, no loss of hearing whatever the chosen Music! Now playing on devices or HIFI PRO (without compression) improves the readability and transparency. I recommend it  without reservations! It's headphones worth 7 times the price!
I give therefore a 9 - Excellent 10 and is not to mention the price!
