I have a pair of AKG K701 headphones that I use for production and general listening, so I was eager to try out these new AKG headphones specifically for DJs. As usual, the build quality is excellent. They do feel particularly robust, and can be angled and bent all over the place and still feel solid. The detachable cable is a good touch (why is the flagship K701 cable not detachable?) and as it's a standard mini-XLR it should be easily replaceable if it becomes damaged. The inclusion of the mono switch is very useful, and the bass boost switch might be useful in certain environments, though the headphones have plenty of bass anyway. They are closed-back, of course, and fitted comfortably on my head, so outside noise is kept to a minimum. The ear-cups are leather, and seem hard-wearing. Recommended!
