Product Description
A proven "workhorse" throughout the recording industry, the K 141 M serves as the reference standard for supra-aural (on-the-ear) monitor headphone designs. A small coupling volume in the ear cup, combined with an "integrated semi-open" venting system behind the transducer, gives the K 141 M its trademark sound: punchy, accurate and crisply defined. The K 141 M will deliver high sound pressure levels without distortion and it is solidly built to withstand around-the-clock session use.

Summary: The standard 2007-09-06
Comment: At the time (6 years ago) I could not afford a good set of studio monitors for desktop recording, so I opted for these. It was a very wise choice. These things are a real workhorse and still sound wonderful today with no problems. I prefer them now to the monitors I finally bought. $99 is a good deal, it's what I paid back then.

Summary: Tried and True 2006-10-18
Comment: I was first exposed to these headphones about 18 years ago while doing some session work in a handful of different pro recording studios in New York City. Since then, I cannot recall ever seeing any other type of headphone in any studio I have been in. I have also been using these phones in my own home studio, and am still using the same pair I bought about 15 years ago! They have not been out of service for one minute during that time, although they definitely look like they have taken a beating! This should speak volumes regarding their reliability and quality of manufacture.
The sound is every bit as good as the reliability. They can be worn for long periods of time comfortably, and without listening fatigue. The bass response is full and well-defined, the mids are clear and the highs are crisp without any overt raspiness in their character. As the another reviewer noted, subtle details that are sometimes lost can become very apparent with these phones. I have, on numerous occasions, listened to a "perfect take" over these phones only to discover that some tiny bit of extraneous noise such as swallowing, breathing, chair noise from shifting in my seat, or string noise from my guitar, has intruded my mix.
These phones are perfectly suited for critical listening, are reliable, and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Summary: Hear eveything 2006-04-02
Comment: This headphones rules. Use them for monitoring your tracks in your mixer, you'll hear every subtle detail of the instrument being tracked or the partial mix (It helps you a lot when you're detecting little noises)If you, like me, can't afford the price of two monitor speakers try this headphones and use them wisely.
One more thing, yesterday I used the AKG to hear one of my jazz CDs and... it's amazing, I heard the vibration of the acoustic bass and the subtle hit of the brush drumsticks. If you're looking for a great studio headphone without expending more than 100 bucks, this is your choice.
