AKG Pro Audio K92 Over-Ear, Closed-Back, Critical Listening and Studio Headphones, Matte Black and Gold

Can’t beat the price and reliability of these. The design is made with inexpensive materials but is very sturdy. The ear cuffs fit super well over ears, even bigger ears, and the headphones are so light that I never experience ear pain or any discomfort even after 4+hours of wearing these. The sound quality is great and I’ve mixed and mastered on these quite a bit.

Really enjoying these, as others have said, they definitely have a clamp factor but I'm confident it'll lessen over time. Aside from that they are pretty comfortable; it could just be the clamping but at the moment it feels like the sides of my ears are touching the drivers slightly, but again that could clear up. They are way lighter than I expected so there is no real pressure on the top of your head. I actually wanted to find out how light these were so I weighed them and they weigh nothing. Literally 0 in every unit of measurement.Other minuses that have been mentioned are the very long cable, which most people will find to be entering the realm of absurdity. To the poor reviewer whose cable got tangled up in the wheels of their chair until they threw the headphones at a wall in rage; thank you, you've inspired me to coil the cable and tie it up so it's effectively 1.5 metres rather than 300.I'm not much of an audiophile, but I've been making s***ty electronic music in my bedroom for the past two years so I know a little bit about sounds and stuff. These sound really fantastic to my ear, although my only comparison points are consumer grade in ear headphones and a pair of Marley Liberate XL's so keep that in mind. The XL's are pretty good but they lean noticeably towards lower frequencies, having Marley's signature warm, bassy sound. These on the other hand are supposed to be neutral so I was worried that with my electronic tendencies there wouldn't be enough bass to satisfy me. Strangely that is not the case at all, the bass doesn't sound much quieter than my Marley's, it's punchier and a hundred times more detailed.As a little side note, the fact that the bass didn't disappoint me lends a little weight to the man who said these had very bloated bass. I don't have a pair of headphones that I know are fully neutral so I can't say for myself whether the bass is actually bloated, however I can say that the bass never feels overpowering and doesn't smother the mids or highs, all frequencies sound incredibly detailed to me, especially the highs. In fact, the highs are a tad harsh in certain songs with particularly harsh percussion, I've mainly experienced this with trap and haven't had any issues with jazz, rock or old school hip hop,– only electronic music.On the note of highs I haven't heard any noticeable sibilance excepting during "Heartbreak" by Yelawolf.They aren't particularly portable, but I sort of like the purity of the fact that don't really do anything except play music. No in line mic or controls, no bells or whistles just good music, which is a pretty beautiful approach and embodied by a very beautiful pair of headphones. These look absolutely stunning, despite the fact that the materials look (and probably are, given the price) cheap. I'll definitely be keeping AKG in mind for future purchases on account of their appearanc alone.I think that pretty much sums up this review. I like these a lot and have been primarily listening to music over the past couple of days to hear all of the details I missed before, everything sounds so much clearer and more alive than before. Would definitely recommend these cans :)

For the price they're a decent set of headphones. Comfortable, but sound-wise there is a definite emphasis in the 200Hz to 400Hz range and a little damping of highs, which leads to a small carpeted-wall room sound overall. Detail is not there in the higher frequencies and the whole sound is somewhat muted and thumps in the lower mid and bass areas.I love AKG, and swear by my K701s, but the "Pro Audio" in the title of the K72 is a misnomer if you ask me. But then, there is about $150 difference in price between them, so this proves the old adage, you get what you pay for.I'd say good for general listening and hearing yourself talk if you're doing a podcast or something, but I wouldn't suggest making critical EQ decisions based on what these are telling your ears.To be thorough I revisited this review, and as I sit here listening to a few extremes of music taste and quality as I write this update, I'm still hearing definite emphasis in the bass area and muted highs. My music samples of choice were Steely Dan, Aja, some Hall & Oats selections, Nine Inch Nails, White Zombie. It may sound strange but it's telling.To be honest, Nine Inch Nails and White Zombie sound pretty good with these headphones but the bass response is still very pronounced, and once things are underway the muted quality takes over. The highly compressed quality of the more modern music helps, but the muffled effect is still evident.As some other reviewers mentioned, good for general listening. Good quality for the price I'd say.

Perfect for playing electronic drums. The headphones are lightweight, comfortable for long sessions, and don’t put pressure on the ears.

Clarity is great, sound quality great, although the last pair kinda hurt my head on the top these haven't had that problem. Id grab a pair if you like over ear closed ear studio quality headphones

The headphones are comfortable, have good sound, and have a long cable. They come with both types of connectors, allowing us to connect them to any type of device. However, I'm surprised that AKG, for the price, includes poor plastic in their construction. I've only just started using them and I don't know if they'll last, but I get the impression they don't have a good construction.

Very good for the price. Not hifi, but way better than any no-brand headphones. No active noise cancellation - just good old-fashioned headphones.

As a caveat, I've never owned any top tier headphones. That being said, this is by far the nicest pair of headphones that I've owned and I've had many that I've paid quite a bit more for.I have used these consistently over the last year, and I'm constantly impressed with the sound quality, build quality, and comfort.If you're interested in a pair of wired headphones, I highly recommend these.
