This is my first set of active noise cancelling headphones and since I'm not an audiophile I can't really comment on the quality of the audio, however I can say that these things are pretty impressive!! I like to watch movies/tv and these eliminate most(not all)of the ambient noise around me. My first test of this was actually in the office with two fairly large air conditioning units in close proximity. When I turned on the noise cancelling my jaw literally dropped (I handed them to a co-worker and he was shocked how well the noise cancelling worked)!!! What once was a fairly intrusive hum was reduced to nearly imperceptible levels with the music playing (I actually had to remove one of the cups several times to check that the air conditioner was still on). PROS: I found these very comfortable. I had them for over 2 1/2 hours without the need to reposition them. They look good! What else can I say?? They're reasonably well built. These should last you for quite a while if you don't sit on them or do something like that to them. I like the fact that it has a detachable audio cable (the one that comes in the package appears to be a cloth re-enforced standard audio cable with a 3.5mm (I think) stereo jack which should be easily replaceable should the need arise. They will work in passive mode which means, for all of us non-audiophile types, that they will work without the noise cancelling turned on. This is handy if the internal battery dies since you can still listen to your MP3 player. These fold up into a pretty small area. The noise cancelling is pretty impressive. Like I said earlier, it won't eliminate all of the noise, but it will do a remarkable job of eliminating most of it (I'd say it cut the ambient noise by about 80-85% which to me is remarkable considering they don't fit around your ear) CONS: The carrying case for them is fairly small. You won't have any room to put your MP3 player into it when the headphones are in it. I can put the charge cable, the audio cable, and the headphones into it but that's about it. Since the case is so small, I'm worried that I will scratch the finish on the headset but I guess that will happen eventually anyway as they get used more. These don't have an inline volume control. For me this isn't a big deal. The ear cups probably could stand to be a little bigger, but that's just a personal thing since I have big ears. I had to revise my review unfortunately. I had these less than 2 months and the ear cup broke off from the head strap. I wouldn't have minded much IF I COULD GET SOME PRODUCT SUPPORT. I went to the eBay seller, no luck, he sent me to the manufacturer, the manufacturer sent me to the CANADIAN REPAIR FACILITY who COMPLETELY ignored me. Don't waste your $$$ on these, they're too cheaply built to last very long and you don't get support from anyone.Read full review
Okay, nothing is better than ice cream, but maybe I got your attention. These headphones are a solid value with very good sound throughout the spectrum. They're not bassy, something virtually impossible to get w/ lightweight phones that don’t completely cover the ears. Comfortable w/ good noise reduction. There’s a very slight hiss w/ N.R., though I can’t hear it w/ whatever I’m playing. Plug-in rechargeable, charge lasts a long time, and can be played w/ or w/o N.R. Very good quality and an excellent value that holds up to headphones that cost half again as much or more. Fit my large head well. Great job, AKG.

With its 40mm driver, these headphones are small but deliver incredible base. Of course the mids and highs are are crisp and clear, so typical of the signature AKG sound. The Noise cancelling is every bit as good as comparable Bose product but sound way, way better. I use mine for travel and the convenient size are ideal. The build is robust and have withstood lots of abuse over the years. All around great headphones.
