Terrific price-to-quality ratio.......2007-12-19
These headphones are terrific. The audio reproduction seems very well balanced, and while the closed design does attenuate external sounds, they are not boomy unlike most typical closed-design phones. They are quite comfortable and light. They do not fold, so they are not ideal for traveling, but the low impedance will allow them to reproduce any audio surprisingly well from even the wimpiest of MP3 player. With an external headphone amp, they can put out very clean concert level audio with very little distortion. Careful about hearing loss, these fantastic cans sure are capable of accelerating it. Over all, they are real bargain for the quality, and they come with as two year USA waranty. Highly recommended!
Excellent sealed (closed) cans for noisy environs!.......2007-08-24
Much lighter and better built than the 7506s it replaced, the 271S is a tremendous set of headphones. Three weeks into using them 8 hours a day, the sound is brilliant, clear, transparent, with great impact -- and only gets better when paired with a good headphone amp. Mine are fed by a Firestone Audio Cute BEYOND headphone amp, and the results are quite remarkable.
These cans have a seductive midrange, crystal-clear highs, and a well-tempered, articulate bass. Overall the sound is transparent, lively, very well detailed, yet smooth. The better the source, the better the recording, the better these will do. When you listen to reference-caliber recordings, your eyes will bug out. They're good. Really good. Incredible on voices. The music's great, of course -- incredible, even -- but the voices.. oh man. Violin and cello lovers will also appreciate the midrange these cans have.
Lack of comfort is what drove me away from my previous cans, and the 271 delivers comfort in spades. Lightweight, well-built, comfortable enough to be worn all day long. So comfortable, in fact, I forget I am wearing them.
If you're a music lover trapped in a noisy open office or cubicle farm, these are what the good doctor ordered. They muffle the outside world, and the outside world won't hear what you're listening to.
Nice headphones for the price.......2007-03-11
I tested many closed-back headphone brands in my search for a replacement for my Sony MDR-V6 and landed on the AKGs. While the AKGs lack the liveliness of the V6s, I feel they are more "accurate". My spouse prefers the V6s, however. The AKGs are comfortable, even for a person with a touch larger head like myself. They are certainly larger than the V6s and look a bit geeky, but in the confines of ones own home, I guess who cares. The AKGs are a great match for my Nano. There appears to be just enough power available in the Nano to drive the AKGs to decent volumes. They won't make your ears bleed, however, for that one may want to invest in an external amp. Don't get me wrong, the AKGs do not require an amp for use with a portable device. Also, the AKGs do not drain the Nano like my Sony V-600s did. More on par with the Sony MDR-V6s I was replacing. Overall, the AKGs are a nice set of headphones.
Acurate Audio Monitor Quality.......2006-09-28
If you read my previous review of the Bose Triport Headphones where I said these were the greatest. . . I take it back. I won't say I lied, but I will say I am now better educated. The AKG K271 headphones are only slightly more expensive, but they are in another world of quality. One of the two headphones is priced wrong.
Let me get my annoyances with the K271 out of the way. One of the features is an on / off switch that is built in to headband of the `phones. The idea is that if you are in a recording session and these headphones are not in use, no sound will come out from the speakers. These days my hairstyle resembles a classic Friar Tuck with a generous portion of solar panel on top. Without an excess of bushy hair, I've got to push the headphones down to get them to play. The first time I put them on I thought I had a defective set as I was not hearing any sound. Lesson learned very quickly: place the headphones snugly on your head! Disappointment 2 is there is no adjustment for the headband size.
Once they were properly in place, the sound is sweet. The midrange is really opened up, the highs are clean and the bass is there without being overpowering. By way of contrast, the Bose highs are piercing, the bass overrides the midrange and the midrange, if there is no bass to overpower it, is mediocre. In short, there is no comparison in sound quality between the two sets of headphones. AKG advertises a dynamic range of 16 Hz - 28,000 kHz. While the extremes are considered beyond the range of normal hearing, I do believe that by being able to reproduce harmonics in the ranges outside of normal hearing, the K271 comes as close as you can to reproducing a truly live sound.
There is also a world of difference in construction. These are designed with daily use, and for long periods of time, in mind. The metal portion of the headband is rock solid but still light weight, the padding for your ears is comfortable, the cord is heavy duty and user replaceable. Compare this to the narrow headband of the Bose, thin hard wired cord and the slider that is now held together by a cable tie.
If you are looking for a set of headphones for indoor critical listening, these are the ones. Save the Triports for hooking up to your portable player. They are still a good set of headphones, but not in the same league as the AKG K271.

AKG Closed-Back Foldable DJ Headphones - K81DJ
AKG makes some serious stuff.......2007-09-17
I bought these headphones through recommendation of one of my friend. They are truly amazing..especially for the price they come compared to other expensive competetors....Extremely light weight...3d axis folding system..makes them easy to carry around....The cord length is descent enough.....The only down side i can say for this headphones is the cushion size of the earcups they are a little small to fit properly to my ears and hurt my ears for a while since they were new but after a while i was okay with them...gr8 headphones for portable music players and personal computers.
Another winner from AKG.......2007-05-12
I own the AKG K701 headphones and couldn't be happier with their spacious sound and accuracy - but they on the large side, and hardly the product for on-the-go listening. The K81DJ headphones aims to fill the gap for a good-sounding portable.
While you can't beat in-ear monitors for portability, the bass can be bloated (Westone UM2), sound quality lacking, or the cables flaky. For the most part, ear buds lack the kind of sound quality you need for serious music listening. A small headphone would be perfect, but an open-backed model like, say, Sennheiser PX100 is like a sponge for outside noise. A closed headphone is the only solution for many listeners.
The Senn HD25 is said to be the gold standard in portable phones. At less than half the price, the AKG K81DJ blasts open the market. Several positive reviewe on this thread have pointed out their foldable design, attractiveness, and fine sound of the K81DJ - and it's all true. The problem (as you've also probably read) comes with a bass that can be boomy at times if you don't do something about it. And you can.
There's a reason for this sound. Since these are DJ headphones, they're designed to absorb all the excess bass in club situations; but everyday listeners can make them sound great. First, pull out the two-inch polyethylene pads hidden behind the pleather ear pads; they come out like a contact lens.and the sound improvement is immediate. Second (if this is if you're adventurous), pull off the pleather pads, and unscrew the three Philips screws just behind. Now, take some Blue-Tak, and fill in the hard plastic atreas behind the phone. (You can find illustrated instructions online by searching the Head-Fi forums.) The result is a rich, detailed sound certain to surprise any portable headphone listener. No excess bass.
The only remaining issue is their heavy clamping force which, again, is designed to be an asset for deejays in noisy envionments. Leaving them stretched around a six to eight inch globe for a while can alleviate most of the discomfort, but they'll always be an extra-snug fit. Listeners with large heads might best try these out before committing.
Before purchasing the K81DJ, I'd wondered whether these mods would make the phones shine. It worked wonderfully with my 5.5g iPod, and I'm delighted. After years of pickiness, I've finally found my portable "rig" - no more searching for me.
Great bang for the buck, and good warranty service.......2007-05-08
I have had a pair of 81DJs for about a year-and-a-half now. They continue to be my favorite headphones for use with my Creative Zen, and they sound even better plugged into my HeadRoom desktop amp. They have great bass that isn't overwhelming, decent isolation, and pretty good design. The upper treble is slightly rolled off, but that beats a strident or harsh high end.
The cord is the weak link here. It's long (9ft) but flimsy. After about one year, the plug on mine started losing continuity in the left channel. It was clear the wire had broken internally where it connected to the plug. I contacted AKG, who asked me to ship them to their center in California. In a little more than a week, I had a new pair. (They can't replace the cord, it seems.) Great warranty, great customer service.
In sub-$100 sealed headphones, I've got a pair of Sennheiser 280 Pros, too, but I favor these over the 280 Pros for most music. The Senns have better isolation and a better cord, but they're hardly portable, and they're harder to drive (64 ohms) than the 81DJs (32 ohms) with a portable player. The 81DJs have got better sound overall -- things always seem a bit muted in the 280 Pros at the high and low ends, even through the headphone amplifier. (Neither pair is as good as AKG's 701s or 240DFs, though that's a different league.)
I don't think they can be beat by any other sealed design headphones in this price range. A good buy.
Good Headphones for the Price.......2007-05-06
I really love these headphones. I get SO many compliments on them (good conversation starter) and they have great sound quality for the price. The only thing is that they are a bit uncomfortable in long-term situations and they make my ears a bit hot/sweaty, but that's really the only drawback. I left them open around my boots overnight to stretch them out, too, since my head is kind of big for these.
In general, though, these are definitely a good buy. I haven't had any problems yet.

OK headphones.........2007-06-07
1) Base is not great and/or deep.
2) Headphones begin to hurt after continuos use, even after several attemps to strech them out
Other than those two problems, They are completely satisfactory for what they are listed as, and for the price. 3 stars given to two problems(in my eyes).
NOT GOOD.......2007-03-02
I HAD TO SEND THESE BACK AS THEY GOT TOO HOT TO KEEP ON MY EARS FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME
Audio-Technica Headphones.......2007-01-15
Well, I've had a chance to use these for a while and allow my ears to calibrate. And I'd now say these are the PERFECT headphones to buy!! Great quality for the price, excellent sound. I thought they were a little "thin" at first, because everything seems to be so bass-heavy now days. But the more I listen, the more I appreciate the HONEST sound, the ACCURACY, the clear, open highs, and the rich, full, but transparent lows. With accurate, clear sound, your ears don't get fatigued - and you can listen longer. I've had Sennheiser, Sony and AKG headsets at work (I've worked at major L.A. radio stations for the past 20 years), and I think these are the best for the money - equaling the AKGs that cost more than twice as much. And the tiebreaker is, these are more comfortable on my head and on my ears than any of the others. I've really been discovering the quality and value of Audio-Technica stuff lately. I used to shop other brands first, but I'm going to make them the first ones to check from here on out. Get these headphones - they're very well built, and you'll be happy with them for a long time!
Headphones.......2007-01-07
For 50 bucks these headphones are a wonderful deal. Great sound quality for recording and just listening to music and movies on my laptop. They keep out a decent amount of noise. i watched movies on laptop while the other half of my house was being remodeled and I was not bothered by the racket. I find them very comfortable, however after a long time I notice they feel a little heavy, they squeeze a bit to keep out the noise so after an hour or so they start to push on your ears. They are not completely around your ear, they squish them a little bit. But the sound quality outweighs the anything bad. I would buy them again in an instant for even more.
The Range is great and the quality remains at high volume. I use them when practicing my electric guitar and it sounds amazing. Great buy.
Excellent True Sound .......2006-12-16
The ATH-PR05V are fantastic. I have been using them at work for extended number of hours each day. They are very comfortable for me (you may need to stretch them a little bit at the beginning) and the sound is excellent. They deliver a full frequency range of response. The sound is flat and true, without frequency boosts, so what you hear is what is recorded and not an artificial sound. That is, they do not add nor take anything away from the original recording. I have picked sounds with these headphone that other headphones (including some from Sennheiser, Grado, Sony) completely missed. In short, if you are looking for headphones with a lot of sound reproduction detail for not more than $60, consider these one. These headphones rock.
Other good alternatives between $50-$70 are Grado SR60 and Audio-Technica ATH-M40fs

Durable design but lacking in sound quality..........2007-08-23
I bought these to use in a loud office environment. In comparison to the Koss R/80s that I own, which are roughly in the same price bracket, these AKGs don't cut it. The sound is very bright with very little actual bass below 100 Hz. I thought that they might change once they got some use and broke-in a little, but very little has changed (if at all) over the past few weeks.
The physical design is pretty good. The headphones are pretty comfortable, and the design should prove very durable for someone who tends to be rough on headphones. The Koss R/80s in comparison tend to break due to the use of thin plastics at key stress points, so these are definitely better in that area.
My biggest disappointment with the AKGs is how much outside sound they let in. Most sealed over the ears headphones provide a good amount of passive outside noise reduction, but the plastic around the headphone speakers on these is thin and not sound dampened. So outside noise really just comes right though. If I cup the outside of the headphones with my hands the amount of outside noise passing though drops dramatically. So they are not really useful in noisy environments, and would definitely be useless on a plane.
I know these are inexpensive headphones, but it would have been so easy for the manufacturer to make these great inexpensive headphones with just a couple of simple changes. Oh well.
Piano-practice protocol.......2007-08-09
I used to use these for practice on my Digital Piano; they worked great for 6-7 years before finally breaking down, though after all that faithful service I definitely feel they were worth the 35 bucks; intended for musical-instrument use (at least in my experience), but can handle some pretty gnarly signals from your output-device of choice, though the 3-foot chord may prove troublesome for such casual use. I give it 4-stars just based on what I was using it for.
Good Sound, Lasted Me Many Years.......2006-06-22
Getting a pair of quality headphones is a great way to exhance your musical listening experience. The AKG K-55s are the headphones I use at home, being a fan of progressive rock "headphone records", they're kind of an essential. I've had them for many years and they work just as well as when I first got them. The sound is crisp and clear and the dynamic range is great (sounds good quiet, sounds good loud).
The headphones come with a super long cable, which tends to be handy in a studio if the drummer in the back of the place wants to listen to the mix as he plays. It's quite handy for us regular people too. With such a long cable, you can get up and dance with them on in the privacy of your room, and no one will even know, cause they won't hear it. I do it all the time.
The leather earpieces are comfortable and the headband is snug but not tight, often after I've stopped playing music through my laptop I forget to take them off! With nothing playing through them, you can still hear and talk to someone, but with the music up, you'll be hard pressed to hear anything else. I've almost missed my phone on a few occasions!
I've heard that the bass is a little weaker compared to similar headphones. I haven't noticed that much, except when I whip up some homemade electronic music and use these 'phones to mix it, I usually end up with a bit more bass in the track to compensate. It's minor, really, though those who are or have to be strict audiophiles may want to invest in a more precise pair.
Personally, though, I think the AKG K-55 is a great value pair of headphones. I'm going to be sad when my pair finally wears out, but that doesn't look like its going to be for a while yet.
Poor sound, but maybe the price is why........2005-11-29
These headphones do not have a sound that one would expect. While they are very flat in their response, they also have almost no ability to reproduce the lower bass frequencies and even have a dull high-end. Comfort is decent, and the long cord is very handy. If you need a cheap set of monitoring headphones, these might be for you. However they are very odd looking for "street-wear" and would disappoint most people who want good quality sound for listening.
There just isn't a good set of "cans" that have great sound and are cheap. Look at the Sony MDR-V6 and you likely won't be buying another pair again!

good one for the price.......2007-12-03
Good headphone for this price. The cushion is soft and comfortable. It fits very well. You won't hear noise from outside. Good sound quality.
Just OK.......2007-11-15
They are comfortable, made acceptably well for the price. The sound quality is just OK - far from audiophile, even if they have a 20-20000 rating. Do not drive the bass or they distort terribly around 125hz; the highs are acceptable, but also distort if you drive hard at 8000 hz. In all fairness, they are easy to listen to at normal levels.
Good for everyday use, audiophiles should avoid it.......2007-10-26
I ordered this one after I've bought a crap from RadioShack and after I purchased Jensen headphones (turned out not to be full-ear).
Philips SHP800 vs Acoustic Research closed-back monitor studio headphones:
I hoped for a full size headphone, which emits fair sound. Regarding comfort these headphones meet my expectations. The cover of the ear pieces' padding are mad eof texture, which I prefer over the more regular ones. The head-top cushions are also all right. I was afraid of the variable ear pieces, but the design is sufficient and makes it easier to carry.
Regarding the sound quality I would call it acceptable. I expected a bit better than this, because these are told to have 50mm membranes instead of my Philips' 40mm. However my good old Philips sounds better than this. Although non of the two have any extra bass built in, but in comparison these headphones' bass performance is weaker. The speech range can be clearly heard, so it is perfect for voice converstions. Although I still don't have the same sound experience listening to my favorite hardcore tracks.
I wouldn't recommend for those who keen on perfect sound quality, but I can get along with it during everyday use.
I still prefer the good old Philips SHP800. It has top level sound quality beside its low price range. Why should a company stop producing these, if they sound so good? Only SHP2500 available nowdays from Philips, which is completely the same, expect for the volume controls and the lack of head-top cushions. Volume controls always go wrong, the top piece without cushions can be uncomfortable after a couple of hours wearing it. Why could Philips reproduce SHP800, if they should only remove volume control and put the cushions back on??? I can't understand it...
Not That Great..........2007-09-01
I was drawn to these by their price, something that should never be done with electronics. They don't sound very full, nor do they get anywhere near loud enough, barely above a good 'mixing' level. Save your money and buy something a litter more expensive with better quality.

Outstanding Sound and Comfort!.......2007-11-13
Don't let the relatively large size of the ATH-A55's fool you. They are the most comfortable and best sounding "cans" for the money I've ever listened to. The large closed back ear cups and leather ear pads isolate the outside world and just let you focus on and enjoy the music. The reproduction is even, smooth and full sounding without any phony "bass boost." They seem well made, comfy as all getgo and sound wonderful! You won't go wrong with these.
You get what you pay for.......2007-01-23
I've had these headphones for about a year now, and I have yet to find any real problems with them. I use them every day on my laptop to listen to music, and the sound is spectacular. I usually spend about 2-4 hours with them on, and I've never had a problem with comfort. They feel quite nice actually. After a year, I have yet to find any kind of bug. The only thing I have against them is how giant they are. If you're looking for a pair of headphones to bring with you on your day to day activities, look for something a bit smaller. These things look like they're going to eat your head every time you put them on. But looks aside, the sound quality is amazing.

Great sounding and robust headphones.......2007-12-12
These headphones are the best bargain that u can get for a low price. The sound quality is excellent(which you can always expect from audio technica) and are also very comfortable..they are not at all flimsy( i have dumped them ino my bags during air travel but still u cannot find a scratch on them). The only poblem that i faced is the long cable which makes it quite messy at times..but considering the pros these headphones are a must buy!!!
Big Sound, Great Price.......2007-11-13
I'm an art student who is either working in my studio which is unfortunately close to a woodshop or working on videos. For the first situation, these headphones do a phenomenal job at masking the sound of the woodshop. For the latter situation, I have been able to up the quality of the sound in my videos with these bad boys. They handle bass supremely while also keeping the high freqs clear. In addition to the great sound, they are comfortable, lightweight, and have this awesome durable cord. My dad is a recording artist and I told him about these. He decided to order a pair and ended up replacing his $200 dollar headphones with them. At this price I would recommend these headphones to anyone.
Just buy them.......2007-10-04
I'm not any kind of expert, but I bought these to wear on a trip to Europe to discourage chatty seatmates and I love them. They're remarkably comfortable, the sound quality seems great to me and they didn't cost an arm and a leg, what more could you want?
What more can be said?.......2007-07-11
I've also been fortunate enought to acquire these spectacular phones. I've had mine for 3 years now and they still sound really fantastic. Unfortunately, I have been using them basically every single day anywhere from 2 to 10 hours a day, and have worn the earpads out. So now I have to decide if I will buy another set of M30's or throw down on a set of m40fs'. Either way, I don't think you can go wrong with Audio Technica. I have been extremely pleased with my purchase and would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone looking for clean, strong, dynamic sounding headphones.
Happy with the sound, worry with the design.......2007-07-09
I already had sennheiser HD485 and 595, I bought these headphones for just being them closed which is useful for monitoring the recording however they don't block too much noise, I'm unsure about the build of these headphones whether they are durable for longer time. The sound quality can be compared to my HD485 with little pricey than ATH-M30. The HD485 offer better bass response, more comfort and much stylish than ATH-M30, anyway, I enjoy the sound quality of these cans and at least affordable great headphones can be found of their class.

they make sound good.......2007-10-20
i use these to litsen to music while on my computer. i am by no stretch of the imagination a connoisseur of sound equipment, so i can say that these cans make sound and effectively block sound from outside sources. the reasons they get 4 stars are as follows: they were really cheap and i can wear them with my glasses comfortably.
Good sound value!.......2007-10-18
For the money you're paying, these are probably the best headphones in their price range. Audio Technica has made fine audio gear for years and this is no exception. They may not be Koss professional series headphones, but they are lightweight, sturdy, and well built for this type of product. The cord is nice and thick so it won't break easily. The leatherette band and earcups will provide hours of enjoyable listening. The high end is clear but not tinny. Bass is good without being overpowering. They sound great on quiet music passages. Too bulky for an iPod, but excellent for home listening!
great recommendation.......2007-07-03
i recently purchased this item from amozon after weeks of searching for an affordable but yet good pair of headphones and came across these and i must say they give a really good sound. also i wear glasses and they fit very comfortably.bieng a musician and often picky with sounds all mi can say is all in all this is a very good buy and i dont think you can go wrong with these
Incredible value.......2006-03-09
You just cannot beat the price on these cans. I use them for studio monitoring, mostly warn by the drummers who record with me. The headphones sound clean and clear, with a nice warm low end. Sure you can buy more expensive headphones, but these will definitely get the job done.
