For it's price, it's a fantastic little set of headphones having a light build and ruling out harsh frequencies.
Very light and comfortable headphones that don't clamp too hard on the ears.

What customers say about "Features"

AKG K72 High Performance Closed-Back Monitoring Headphones

Sound quality is first class and a really involving experience. I can't think of anything negative so....please try them!
Build quality is good, especially in light of the price and they are super comfortable to wear.
Sound quality wise, they are as expected. quite neutral, but with great frequency response and clarity.
Bass is deep and punchy, but not overpowering and boomy. Mids and highs are nice and crisp, but ever so slightly tinny.
Not very comfortable or sensitive. Need a fairly high volume to drive to an acceptable volume.

AKG K52 High Performance Closed-Back Monitoring Headphones

These headphones are nice and light. Due to the self-adjustable headband, the headset doesn't really need any cushioning.
It has a self-adjustable headband which I was originally sceptical about, but in reality it's a really good idea. The set just relaxes into a nice position.
Can sit for hours without issues and sound quality is also very good.
I do like how the 'L' and 'R' indicators are located in the ear cups, and they're nice and big so you always know which way round the set goes.
The sound provided by the 40mm drivers is excellent with a very good bass response and clarity.
