Just got mine and wow. Just wow. I am in love. They weigh like 1/5 of my old headset so my neck muscles are also digging em. Overall, if you are casual and want high-end, this is for you. If you are pro these would be your Medium to Lower Medium range headphones. Definitely good enough to not be low end for pros. Look, feel, sound, weigh, and "Feel" great. {Edit: Hey so for those who think I am wrong please explain why as I am new to "Professional Sound and Audio". Coming from [Sades SA-708] this is definetly an upgrade for me as I have larger ears (not that much but slightly bigger than those of my friends). Also the "Cheap" quality that I am seeing of its platics is slightly upsetting but atleast I don't have a full on weight on my neck that presses on my ears like the jaws of life on a car door.}

moobleIt isn't weak but any amount of weight above that of your own head SHOULD cause you to have pain. Only those who do pyhsical work that of which requires strong neck muscles should not be bothered by more than +/- 1.25 lbs

FaunsceHeadphones suck if they weigh more than 270 grams. At least weight wise. Sadly that includes almost all high-end cans. Open dynamics are where it is at for good weight/sound

Faunscepeople always mistakenly associate weight with quality. There are countless cases of counterfeit goods where they put sand and rocks inside and people claiming them being "excellent quality"
FaunsceI definitely appreciate the lighter weight of AKGs, in fact AKGs have been my primary headphone for 5 years... but I wouldn't say weight is the whole story in comfort. My Sennheiser PX-100 Are smaller and lighter, but, even before the earpad foam padding wore thin and the hard drivers started touching my ears, they weren't comfortable for long time periods. Same story with my very light Stax SR-X mk III. However, I finally bought a pair of Sennheiser HD800s with tax return money, and I would say they are more comfortable than my AKG K612 and K712. The HD800 is a little heavier (still wouldn't be in the same class as a HiFiman or Audeze), but it has a wide headband pad with a divot right where the point/crest of my head is, and the huge earpads make sure nothing touches my ears while also spreading the perfect clamp pressure over a large surface area.
