Product Experience I own it
Closest Store Edmonton North, Alberta
I loved these headphones. I say loved because they served me well for 5 years. They have been used and abused, mostly for DJing. Borrowed and cued at extremely loud volumes which caused the right ear to lose its highs and start to crack. Mids and highs were great though until dooms day. Pretty good bass too. Didn't really get much from the big club/small club option; however, the mono stereo switch was great! My only gripe it that they began to be a bit painful after 2 hour long sessions.

Product Experience I've tried it
Closest Store Waterloo, Ontario
Very nice design and build quality. They sort of twist to fold up which is neat and have mini XLR cord. The SPL is nice and high on these and the sound is what you'd expect from AKG, the mono switch and club switch are also genius. I didn't buy these years ago because they used to be almost $300 and they were worth it IMO, just above my budget at the time. $129 is a steal for these headphones. I know someone who's had them for over a year and they're still in perfect condition, they also use them as everyday headphones
