What customers say about "Size & Weight"

AKG K872 Master Reference Studio Headphones - New

It is a darn sight lighter than full-size planar headphones such as the Hifiman HE1000 and Audeze.
Super comfortable and light enough to wear all day. Difference between these and 'gaming headsets' is night and day.
The headphones are very comfortable for long listening as they are very light and the clamp isn't tight it's just right for me, I don't need to adjust them at all.
Extremely good set of drivers! They feel so light on your head I almost forget they’re there.
The plastic design makes it feel so light and comfortable, you won't even notice you're wearing headphone after long use.

beyerdynamic T5p (2nd Generation) High-End Portable Headphones

They are light, comfortable, compact (for over-ear) and don’t look flashy or expensive.
The comfort factor of these were great. and really light as if wearing nothing!
Firstly, the build quality is excellent for home use and they are super light and comfortable.
They are light, and don't have a tendency to squash either my ears or the side of the head.
They are so light you forget you are wearing them once the music starts.

What customers say about "Features"

AKG K872 Master Reference Studio Headphones - New

I can hear all sorts of subtle details especially for music instruments. An excellent headphone(tool) for my daily work.
It’s a peach to drive off almost any source, excellent build quality, and fantastic mids.
The build quality of the K872 is excellent and very durable looking. The plastic cups are accented with silver aluminum rings both inner and outer which gives it a bit of pop in visual appeal.
The K872 has a single entry LEMO EGG series 3pin Mini XLR system splendidly integrated onto the bottom of the left gimbal rather than directly into the cup.
Cable is bulky and heavy compared to consumer products, a bit hard too.

beyerdynamic T5p (2nd Generation) High-End Portable Headphones

The sound stage is nice for a closed back and sounds superb for vocals and blues, folk and rock band instrumentals, guitars and violins sound lovely.
Super comfortable to use for listening sessions of well over two hours of continuous music listening.
Build quality fantastic as expected from a German manufacturer.
Amazing pair of headphone that is perfectly drivable by mobile devices and when used with my chord mojo, it enters the next level with detailed sounds and punchy& crisp bass.
Fabulous sound quality. I’ve used them with a balanced cable and a HIBy R6 which seem to go well together.
