The transparency and definition is nowhere near as good as my AK240s, but then for the money I guess these are OK in a pinch. and yet despite a better less boomy response with better equipment, still not one of my favorites for real audiophile quality. So a kind of puzzle overall, as these are overly bassy IMO with boomboxes, mp3 players etc. Pads and headset are typical lightweight comfortable and sturdy AKG quality. Build quality is very good, have taken alot of abuse and have held up well for years, except for the headphone plug which I had to replace after much use. With better equipment (lower impedance) have a more balanced response, not as boomy but not as transparent as my better K240s and K301s. Tend to sound more like some of my cheaper headsets. On my pro stuff, these seem to have a better overall response than on my lower quality players but are very bass-heavy with higher impedance equipment to the point of deadening the soundfield and high frequency response. These are more suited to high impedance, low power music devices than to pro mixing and recording equipment. After much comparison listening from many sources including several mp3 players to my best stereo and pro music equipment and in many styles, I am not overly impressed with my old set of K66's. Impedance is everything when comparing headphones. I have quite a few pairs of AKGs, including my benchmark Austrian K240s from years ago.
