«  A headphone extremely accurate »

How long you use it?

I shared a test "hot", because I just got this headphone, and I must say I am amazed.

Did you tried many other models before buying it?

In regular use only headphones Sony MDR-7506 closed that fits not quite in the same range of use, I will keep for decision (since the AKG is an open headphone), and it is flattering to the Mediums This is not the case at all of the "AKG (good for corrections / mix master, a little less pleasant for the composition, the AKG lack of heat on this point of view.)

What is so special that you love the most, least?

This is a very good headphone for the use intended for it >> corrections mix & master.

Indeed the details and errors mixes "jump to the ears" immediately, he is ruthless on this point of view, I say I was surprised because such corrections EQ suddenly became easier and the mixture of the instruments.
Once the instruments in frequency ranges intermingle too close, it is there to remind us that a good shot of EQ is to remember. I mean, unlike my monitors (Mackie HR824 mk2) and my old headphones (Sony MDR-7506) where it saturates quickly or it will not, and that's good, you come out with a very clean mix .

The sound is neutral and close to the monitors, thereby not having to return on both X & co EQ ... it's very nice.

It is not tiring to wear, or listen to (unlike the Sony which is very tiring and projecting in the treble / midrange). The atria may be a little much, but it is comfortable and is quickly forgotten.

The bass is like you may have read elsewhere a little behind, however accurate. I think it helps a lot also makes it less tiring than other headphones. I would advise against anyway for fans of electro music made on very low for the components (for mixing things will go)

Level of manufacturing quality, we vera with time but it's pretty perfect on that side obviously it looks to be solid. The two elements that tire generally over time (atria and cable) are apparently available separately.

How would you rate the quality / price? With experience, you do again this choice?

Certainly for home-studiste it's always a bit wrong to put that price in a headphone, but for the most demanding one is not disappointed with the result, it's worth it! And this choice I would do without hesitation. Audiofanzine thank you for your test headphones that allowed me, finally, to choose a headphone almost perfect!
