Macbook Air iTunes12 + Amarra O2 + ODAC
Simply, these sound magnificent. Comparing them to my (closed back) Sennheiser HD25-1 II, these are crystal clear, the bass level is pleasing, and vocals are stunning -- Well balanced sound and incredible soundstage. Played James Blake, SBTRKT, Purity Ring, Disclosure, CHVRCHES, Caribou on them so far. (So as someone who loves electronic pop/british dub, these are so, so very good). For $200, these are an absolute steal -- I had been eyeing the Senn HD650s, but with these, I feel no need because they're so excellent. No rattling, build quality is excellent - these feel like air and are extremely comfortable. Did experience some treble fatigue, but hoping that goes away with burn-in. I will say that these do require a good amount of power even with the O2 amp - my senn hd25 iis only need 1x gain and about 1/3 on my volume knob to get to comfortable levels, but the AKG's need 2.5x gain and about halfway on the volume knob to get to a good listening level (this is probably due to closed back vs. open back).
Thank you Massdrop, these are spectacular!
