These headphones are really great. I find the sound is so detailed with no emphasis on any of the sound spectrum. The "soundstage" is superb. The best part for me is that the ear cups ar so large they very comfortably cover my ears and can be worn for hours at a time.

I brought these because my spare set of headphones (Skullcandy) snapped in two due to what I now understand is a fairly well known design fault. I did a lot of research and AKG always got good reviews so I thought I would see for myself. They are fantastic. These are now my preferred set of headphones. They are open-backed and therefore not really suitable for public use due to the sound leakage. However the quality of the sound is amazing and the detail these headphones pick out is fantastic and across all forms of music from classical through to hard rock too. I never really wanted for anything better than my Bose headphones (previously my main set) but these are a cut above. So from now on its AKG for the home and Bose for travel - happy days!
There have been many reviews from reputable mainstream publications and reviewers which will offer more detail than I will now offer, which I suggest you should seek out. Some of the main points that should be considered are as follows: Not for bass heads, although they do go very low without distortion. The sensitivity is quite low owing to the high 62 Ohms impedance which makes them unsuitable for most portable equipment. The sound is a little bright, maybe more an indication of current accepted norms. The cushions are on the hard side for prolonged listening, I found that the comfort and sealing was best with the thickest section facing downwards rather than backwards as recommended. The supplied 3 and 6 metre cables may be useful in many cases, but I bought a 1 metre for more covenient use with my laptop. Although I have listed the possible cons for some users above, these remain clean sounding headphones that compare with the very best.Read full review
I guess if Quincy Jones says they're good, that should be enough - but they really are. I was watching a movie with them on and they were so comfortable and so good I forgot I was wearing them, got up to get a drink and only then realised I had them on. First class, really
