Meh. My Sony MDR-V6 headphones are far better for editing, producing, and overall monitoring. These AKGs are lightweight with lofty earpads and can be worn for long periods without suffering too much, but the semi-open nature also bleeds a ton. Overall sound reproduction is muddier and there is a noticeable difference in volume between the AKGs and Sony MDR-V6. I have to turn my source up a few decibels when using the AKGs to achieve the same volume. The detachable cord is a nice feature. The actual color of the red is more like a maroon, not as bright and vibrant as shown in these pics. I think the price is about $5-10 too high considering the overall sound quality. Am I just crazy? Maybe.

voicebox5Don't bleed super bad IMHO - far worse out there and they are semi-open, so have to expect it. Agree on the comfort, even with glasses on they do not make my head hurt. Definitely benefit from an amp. Sound is flat without any DAC/amp use. Colors are muted, go the blue myself and it's dark. For ~$50, can't complain too much and they will go to work as my beater pair I think.

voicebox5the sound is not muddier, it is less hyped. The AKG K240 is well known to be a very flat headphone. The Sonys on the other hand are pretty well known for cystaline highs, due to a pretty wide presence peak in the upper mids. The Sony cans are good for editing and other such production work because they have good isolation, and you can hear what is going on even in a noisy environment. If I was operating a boom mic, I'd want 7506 or v6. But at home, or on the road I prefer K240. Too bad the design doesnt fold.
