(+) Comfortable, long lead, self-adjusting head band. NOT Earphones. (-) Not sound-proof - can sometimes hear sound around you. (*) (On Ciao since: 08/2002)
Advantages: Great sound quality and very comfortable. Disadvantages: Fairly loose if you have a small head!
...I recieved these headphones for christmas this year and was very pleased. I have owned other AKG products before so I was hoping they would live up to my expectations.
The quality of these headphones was very good and I was very pleased with the look of them. The sound quality was also very good as the bass realy comes through welland the sound is crystal clear.
They are very comfortable and can be adjusted perfectly. My only complaint would be that they feel a little loose and fall of quite easily if you shake your head too much.
Being closed back, while you are listening to music or something, there is virtualy no sound escaping for other people to hear.
The support that you get from the company is very good as you can ask them anything via email.
Overall, the headphones are very good for the ammount you will pay in most shops...

Review of AKG K77
Advantages: signal quality, logic 7 decoder, comfortable and fairly nice to look at too Disadvantages: cost
....
Of course you don't have to use logic 7, theres also prologic and stereo decoders too, but who would when you have logic 7!!
They're also very comfortable, with an auto adjusting headband they don't slip off as you walk around.
The battery life is excellent, easily coping with a couple of movies and more; its very easy to keep them topped up as they charge when you place them back in the cradle.
In todays world of wireless this and wireless that, its easy to find 2 devices that interfere with each others signals; the AKG easily copes with this, with a convenient channel selector button on the headphones themselves.
Perhaps the only real disadvantage of this system is that it is on the pricey side, so you would have to be a complete audio-obsessive to get them....
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...

Review of AKG K 240 DF
Advantages: Nice design Disadvantages: Cable would be better if it was longer
...Hi, this review is about AKG K340 earphones.
Manufacturer
Dr Rudolf Goerike and Ernst Pless are the founders of AKG in 1947, Vienna. They celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2007.
AKG are now one of the leading manufacturers of high quality microphones, headphones and wireless equipment. AKG is used by many radio and TV stations including BBC, opera houses, recording studios and famous stages.
Design
The design is an in-ear headphone, the earphone goes in the ear rather than covering the ears. The earphones is pushed a few millimetres into the canal like an ear plug, this helps prevents external noise coming in whilst listen to the sound coming from the earphones.
Without the cable, the earphone weigh a super light-weight of 3 grams. Most other earphone average 5 grams. The cable is only 1 meter long; this is...

Review of AKG K 340
Advantages: Stunning design Disadvantages: Looking for the cheapest offer but its not that hard
...Hi, this review is about AKG K330 earphones.
AKG was founded in Vienna, 1947 and celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2007. It was by a partnership of Dr Rudolf Goerike and Ernst Pless. They are now one of the leading manufacturers of high quality microphones, headphones and wireless equipment. AKG is used by many radio and TV stations including BBC, opera houses, recording studios and famous stages.
The AKG K330 headphones weigh 3 grams without the cable, which is classed as ultra lightweight as few headphones weigh less than that. The cable is one metre in length with 99.9% oxygen free. At the other end of the cable it has a hard gold plated jack plug. It has one of the best earphone designs I have seen. The two main designs are the scarab and wasp. Wasp design is my favourite, as by the name it has the colour of black...

Review of AKG K330
Advantages: Crisp clear sound Disadvantages: The finish peeled off
...*** Introduction ***
AKG are one of the biggest companies in professional audio devices such as microphones and headsets but they have also branched out into personal audio for the normal consumer. AKG has been running for over 60 years and since they were founded in Vienna they have had a big effect on the audio industry. Companies such as the BBC use their equipment and microphones.
I am reviewing the AKG K324p?s, which are a set of in-ear headphones which are available in a couple of different colours; they are also very similar to the Sennheiser CX300?s with a few subtle differences.
*** Design ***
I thought the most obvious place to start was with design of these in-ear headphones. I purchased the silver version of these headphones, they are quite small the small round piece has a diameter of about 1cm and off of this...

Review of AKG K 324 P
Advantages: Lots of different applications Disadvantages: Requires two for larger image pickup but that is standard with any of this kind
...This little c451B is a great microphone! This is a condensor microphone manufactured by audio well knowns AKG, who also make microphones such as the C1000s and the D112!
These are sold separately or also now sold as a stereo pair for when recording ensembles for example! I personally use them in stereo pairs as overhead microphones when recording drums and they sound great!
The frequency range of the microphone is exactly the rough range of human hearing which is 20HZ to 20KHz, so it can pick up all of the frequencies we hear to give it a varied range in what it can be used for!
The microphone, just like most other condensor microphones, requires phantom power of around 48v to power it but this is standard in applications now and youll probably find that your sound card for example will offer this power to the microphone when...

Review of AKG C451B
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.
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...

Opinion:
I hate earphones. I hate the way you have to wedge them into your ear, you're constantly worried whether they'll fall out, and they're about as comfortable as sticking gravel in your ear.
I wanted a cheap pair of *head*phones, that were comfortable, stereo, and if possible from a good manufacturer.
The AKG-44s have been exactly what I'm after. The speaker bits are surrounded by a soft leathery cushion - no rough edges, comfortable, and I feel...
