AKG K 920 AFC Headphones

Advantages: Very sturdy. Great sound.
Disadvantages: None

...break them so this is a very good thing indeed. Their frequency range (for those of you who like the numbers) is 15 Hz to 20,000 Hz and their impedance is 600 ohm. They weigh about 8.5 ounces. Because they last and last it may be that AKG have revised their model numbers since I bought mine. A quick look on Google shows that Dolphin Music do a wi-fi version called an AKG K240 DF. You can't trip on those if there's no wire! If I had to find a downside with these headphones it would be that the plastic can get hot on your ears after a while. Hot ears seems a small price to pay when these sturdy headphones will last and last, and sound really professional.... Read review

Advantages: Great price, good quality
Disadvantages: Not quite as detailed as a professional pair - although this is to be expected!

...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.

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... Read review

Advantages: Typical AKG bulid quality - sturdy, comfortable and brilliant sounding
Disadvantages: None that i can think of...

...Essentially the same as the old K240 DF's that I replaced, these are another high quality example of AKG's offerings. Sound quality is as excellent as ever. ...Sound... These are very versatile headphones as the sound reproduction is very good - as useful at home as they are in the studio. They have a good MF and HF range, good LF but can be a bit lacking sometimes - compared to the old 240DF's I had anyway. I use them at work sometimes for sound checks and they have always been pretty reliable. ...Durability... They've been dropped, contorted and ran over; they still work as well as ever. Reasonably thick, sturdy cable which not only avoids getting tangled up with itself unlike smaller cables, but also helps to prevent damage from twisting, cutting etc. ...Comfort... This was one of the main reasons I bought the newer model... Read review
