What an awesome set of cans. Physics-defying for sure.

Listening to them right now as I type out the description. Yeah, the treble really can be sibilant sometimes, but really only if you like to crank the volume a lot. It just seems less grating than my DT880 Pro at higher volumes. Also the upper treble detail really is lacking, that's probably the biggest flaw in these other than the fact that the bass is so powerful that some may not like it. It is very deep and rich and doesn't bleed into the mids at all though. It's a LOT better than the M50 bass, for example. Not muddy in the slightest IMO. A friend of mine is interested in the 880 and I'll be selling it to him as a Christmas present. I did forget to mention that the cord is a straight 10' cable terminated in a 3.5mm stereo connector. I bought mine used so I'm not sure if they come with a 1/4" adapter but I would be very surprised if they didn't as they are a professional headphone. Also, they are easily driveable by motherboard audio but will do a lot better with a soundcard with an amp like the Xonar DGX that I use. A phone can drive them, but you wouldn't want to use these portably with such a long cable that can't be replaced. What a great set of cans, I'll say it yet again, absolutely awesome, guys. Buy with confidence. Stay tuned for reviews of the AKG K240 Studio and AKG K271 Mk II.
