[microsound] Headphones

[Klanggold]

i love my AKG K 701. They have a big frequency range 10 - 39000 Hz and are really linear... good for music production. But they´re a bit expensive.
HD 25 are not a comfortable as the akg´s are. they are big and the´re not pressing onto the ears.... 
they are open (not closed like the hd 25) and you don´t feel them .... very nice... lightweight 235g ....feels like you´re wearing monitoring speakers...
but they´re nothing for outside.... only for work into the studio.
