"K-66 - WELL WORTH THE MONEY"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will use them untill they brake appart or the earpieces fall of.
Sound
Use a good sounding amplifier.
Features
What botheres me is that the earpieces are made from a leather-like material, which is fine, but after a while you start to sweat and it becomes a bit sticky and unpleasent, but all in all it is a good product.
Quality
No dislikes.
Value
Worth it!
Manufacturer Support
My neck is muscular as hell, thats is enough support, and you dont need drivers for them.
The Wow Factor

"Double the price and they'll still worth it"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I have them for 7 years now and still they won't budge. Perfect clear sound, fit on my head as they should, no pain in my ears after listening for hours at a time. Most importantly if you up the volume they will get LOUD.
Sound
Clear sound. They are good for any music style, movies and games.
Features
No drivers! They work perfectly on anything that you'll connect them to
Ease of Use
True plug and play
Quality
The only drawback that I can think of is the headband, after a wile it will harden and will somewhat lose its shape... they still fit my head perfectly though.
Value
Double the price and they'll still worth it
Manufacturer Support
Never did have any need to contact the manufacturer!
The Wow Factor
Picked them out of the blue... Now i cannot live without them

AKG K66 Headphones Customer Review

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Good headphones.
Sound
I've never used "professional" quality headphones before, but these sound damn good while you're listening to something. When there's no signal I do hear quite a bit of hum though.
Features
I enjoy the elastic-like headband on these. Very comfy.
Quality
I've had these bad boys for about 3 or 4 years and they still work and look as good as the day I got them.
Value
I got these with a Fostex MR-8 package, so they were basically free. Knowing the quality of them, I would say the price for these is very fair.
Manufacturer Support
Never called.
The Wow Factor
Nothing special about these.

"top-notch price value"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Regarding the price, this has to be a 10. I own it for 2 years and I still think that it deserves being praised and I still didn't upgrade to more expensive headphones for my homestudio setup, although the K 66 were meant to be an interim solution.
Sound
precise, clear, great balance of frequenzies, tight but not overcolored bass, great stereo image.
Ease of Use
yes, you need to put them on...
Quality
good quality, they seemed a little vulnerable to me at first, but 2 years of everyday use and abuse didn't harm them at all.
Value
When I got them, I was blown away by it's precise, detailed and yet tight, full sound, just because I didn't expect that from any headphones under 100$. I don't know any comparing headphones in this price range, they actually perform like much more expensive gear.
Manufacturer Support
these headphones support you even in their spare time

"Amazing product life."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will use these for another 7 years if they last.
Sound
I've used these headphones in all kinds of recording projects and personal listening with a myriad of different products. They may not be perfect for recording as I notice some differences between actual output of recorded material in my stereo and what it sounds like when I mix it with these headphones. You could probably find a better pair, but I'm not picky enough to look for one. These headphones blow any piece of trash you could buy at x-mart out of the water.
Features
long cord, comfortable earpieces, adjustable strap
Ease of Use
they are headphones
Quality
I've had these headphones for about 6-7 years and they have come with me to about 10 different residences. The adjustable strap broke in year 1 or 2, but I rigged it up with scotch tape and a bent paper clip that has lasted for the other 5 years (unbelievable). They are no longer adjustable, but comfortable to me. Sound quality has not changed over 7 years of abuse.
Value
Great. Not many products last this long. I can't even remember what I paid for these (they might have been free), but they were worth it.
Manufacturer Support
Never used support.
The Wow Factor
Kinda bulky and dumb looking, but these headphones aren't really meant to make you look cool.

"Good for the money."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Need good sound, and not bothered by coolness factor for the money? go buy it.
Sound
The sound is great for headphones this price. I regularly use studio quality headphones, so I know what these are missing, and that's: extreme high treble (you won't find it in a 40 buck headphone anywhere anyway a little bit of high bass/deep mids some clarity. But this is only comparing to ideal headphones. These sound crisp and clear enough, very open, and have a flat sound except for these two minor holes. The bass is not punchy (that is given by the high bass) but it's tight and present. Great sound for the money.
Features
You do not need features for headphones. A small-jack/big-jack adaptator would be nice though.
Ease of Use
Deuh.
Quality
it doesnt seem very sturdy, but it can take a lot of beating.
Value
Great sound for the money.
Manufacturer Support
never needed.
The Wow Factor
It's not a beautiful pair of headphones, but it's more discreet than you would think when you have them on.

Sound
I bought these to replace my old 240's. I am very happy with the sound. The high end is a bit too loud. Bass is solid and punchy. Great sound - great value.
