From the Manufacturer

Sixty Years of Quality Sound, Sixty Years of AKG Expertise

For more than 60 years, AKG microphones and headsets have been synonymous with professional audio excellence. Since it was founded in 1947, AKG has been passionately delivering superior-sounding, cutting-edge products. Within months of the company’s founding, its microphones were being used by radio stations, theaters and jazz clubs. A mere two years later, AKG headphones were introduced to the marketplace.

AKG products quickly established a reputation for superior performance, and many musical artists started relying on them when it came to performing and recording. World-renowned artists used AKG products back in the 50s, while many of today’s most recognized artists swear by AKG products for live concerts and studio recording.

More than 60 years and 1500 patents later, AKG continues to create innovative and exceptional-sounding products for both professional and personal use. So it stands to reason that the AKG K 330 personal headphones deliver outstanding performance, unparalleled comfort and unmatched reliability. Choose the brand that the pros have chosen for so many years.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking but has the sound quality of a tin can, July 30, 2009

I bought the AKG K 330's after reading one review, which I am convinced now is a plant. I was impressed in how nice these look and the fit is great. The problem is I purchased them to listen to music (silly me!). I can't tell you how dissapointing the sound quality is. I have $20 buds that sound way better. These are painfully tinny and even with a graphic eq they don't get any better. If you can get the bass balanced it is past muddy - completely distorted. I have a full sized, over the ear pair of AKG's and they are the best phones I have ever owned. It's hard to believe these are even from the same company. Tried them on an ipod, iphone, pc and high-end MP3 player. They're just plain bad.

I was excited when I got these headphones. They sounded really nice when I got them, though I got a crackling sound when the cord moved some times. I chose to ignore that. I tried using them again last night & I can't get much sound out of them. Guess I will be throwing these expensive things away since I can't return it anymore. :(

Disappointed. Cheap quality construction. OK sound. My Philips SHE6000/28, SHQ1007 & SHE5910/27 sound way better.
I am sending this back for whatever refund I can get.
