I consider these headphones to be excellent value for money. While not quite as good quality as AKG's high-end headphones, these are nevertheless an excellent pair of basic decent headphones for what you pay for them.

I bought these for both listening for pleasure and for recording rough demos in the studio, and have found them very suitable for both.

The closed back means they are suitable for studio recording - I have experienced very little leakage - and I find the sound quality is very good - although as you might expect, not as detailed as the more expensive headphones - with an even balance across treble and bass.

They are lightweight and fit comfortably [again, not quite as closely and snugly as a pair that you might pay £90 for, but very well considering the price].

All in all, a useful pair of everyday headphones which I consider well worth the £20 they usually retail at.
