5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Isolation and Bass You Can Feel, October 8, 2008

By	tsitrA "Artist" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

I have the AKG K181DJ and LUV them, they are fun you feel the music like listening to speakers and a sub, wow!!I Have Senn 555,could hear every flaw. Its kind of like driving a corvette, you can feel every piece of gravel in the road, i would rather enjoy and feel the music instead of looking for technical flaws. (drum & bass, hard rock, alternative and undergound hip hop, lyrics, vocal and bass are my focus) did a lot of research, also considered BEYER DYNAMIC DT770-Pro Closed Circumaural Studio Headphones



AKG Closed-Back Foldable DJ Headphones - K81DJ
If these are too pricey their predecessor is the K81DJ and are about 70 bucks and very similar
the 181's have a little wider range and a replaceable cord, lay flat, quality construction, are a little snug, earpads are removeable and can be replaced.

please check out my underground broadcast, Adrenaline on Live365.com. Its free and an editors pick.on the air 24/7 since 2001. http://www.live365.com/stations/255967

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Call, January 20, 2009

By	K. Egbuna "Keg" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I scoured all sorts of websites looking for people's opinions on headphones with robust bass response and good sound fidelity. These headphones often came up, however their price was often a dissuading factor. I love music and sound in general so I decided that they were worth it -- and they are. They blow my similarly priced Bose headphones out of the water. The bass is amazing and yet it still responds well to mid and high ranges.

The build is sturdy and foldability (I made that word up) makes it easy to quickly put away if one needs to leave their computer for a quick minute.

Good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good bass, September 9, 2008

By	Lucas Posada Quevedo "JackPosada" (Medellin, Colombia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found out about this product in a TOP 10 DJ headphones.
Great sound, little heavy but if you are a DJ what you need is sound.

I recomend this product, but if you want something better you shoul go for sennheiser
