Product Description
Join the Crowd.
Based on the legendary AKG K 141 Studio headphones favored by many of the world's best-selling musicians, and featuring many of the same advanced technologies, the new K 142 HD semi-open headphones deliver powerful, undistorted sound even at the highest listening levels. Rugged enough for professional environments and comfortable enough for hours of continuous use, K 142 HD features extra-large speakers with Varimotion diaphragms for higher sensitivity and a wider dynamic range. Chances are, AKG is how your favorite artists first heard their most-famous tracks. Now it's your turn.

Great sound, but... August 12, 2010

I just purchased these headphones after an old pair of HD 280 pro Senn's broke for good.
I was excited to go for these akg's because they were well regarded, and appeared to be well built.
When they arrived, I was disappointed with the cheap vinyl of the headband and the plastic parts. They haven't broken yet, but I have a bad feeling about them, and to be honest, when paying a little more for headphones, I don't want a molded vinyl headband.
That said, they sound great, and after the closed hd 280's, these sound really clear and clean. They are also lightweight, which is good, and I suspect that's the reason the materials I take issue with were chosen...
So overall, sound quality: 5 stars. Construction quality: 3 stars.
I'll keep them and report back if they do come apart.

got these as a gift from my friend. Im no audiophile but i can say these are the best headphones I have ever listened to. I own sennheiser 595s and a pair of bose qc2 for work. My only gripe is the comfort, i really don't enjoy the velvet "on-ear" feel of the headphones, and they cause my ears to hurt after about 3 hours. Other than that though i can say these are a very attractive looking great sounding set of headphones.
