Extremely well pleased

I listen primarily to music with a strong vocal component: early and traditional music, contemporary folk, modern vocal compositions etc. For such music, these headphones perform exceptionally well. I can't speak to bass reproduction, as the music I listen too is generally strongest in the higher registers, except to say that it seems more than adequate. I ran some bench-marking tests, which the headphones passed with flying colors. Soundstaging seems pretty effective to my ears; however, I can claim no great sophistication as an audiophile.
As I use these for traveling, the fact that they fold down compactly and are relatively light is a big plus. Bluetooth pairing is extremely straightforward and unusually well executed compared to many devices I have used. Use with the supplied cable is easy and the sound quality equally excellent (or possibly slightly better). I have not experience any discomfort from the ear pads, with up to a couple of hours of continuous listening. The noise canceling is terrific, and a delight as I do much of my listening on long rides on the bus (I'm a long-distance commuter).
I can't speak to long-term durability, but these seem very well built, and the included soft pouch is very handy. All in all, I'm delighted. The only negatives are the placing of the volume and pairing switches on the right-hand speaker, which can get confusing, and the fact that they are a little loose on my head.

I received these for a Christmas present. These are incredible. The sound quality for music, phone calls and TV is unbeatable. I am blown away how amazing these are! I am a 110% satisfied and happy customer. Worth the price.

This is my first time using an AKG headphones. I like how light it is on the head no discomfort whatsoever. I like the sound not too much bass just right and nicely balance. I like it so far this my second day since I have been using it.

Good for Android. Bad for Windows 10

I purchased these almost a year ago now. They worked very well with my Android tablet and phone, but sadly they don't appear to be compatible with the most Recent Windows 10 builds. I am able to get the headphones to connect to an outdated version of Windows, but it is undetectable by my month old HP Zbook and my Dell XPS.
They are still pretty good headphones and do block out much of the noise I hear around my house. The microphone apparently also works well enough on conference calls. Music sounds deep and rich. I just wish I could use them with my Windows laptops.
If they have a fix for this, please post and I'll gladly upgrade my review.

Very bad build quality

So after a few months of using these headphones, the right side of the headband where the adjustable part of the headband begins just detached. It seems that it was glued badly. Then a few months later, same happened to the left side. Finally, the inside hole of the left coushin where the leather coating is connected detached as well. Again it looks like the leather was glued rather than sewed/stitched.
