AKG K 141 Monitor - Headphones ( semi-open ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was first exposed to these headphones about 18 years ago while doing some session work in a handful of different pro recording studios in New York City.Since then, I cannot recall ever seeing any other type of headphone in any studio I have been in.I have also been using these phones in my own home studio, and am still using the same pair I bought about 15 years ago!They have not been out of service for one minute during that time, although they definitely look like they have taken a beating!This should speak volumes regarding their reliability and quality of manufacture.

The sound is every bit as good as the reliability.They can be worn for long periods of time comfortably, and without listening fatigue.The bass response is full and well-defined, the mids are clear and the highs are crisp without any overt raspiness in their character.As the another reviewer noted, subtle details that are sometimes lost can become very apparent with these phones.I have, on numerous occasions, listened to a "perfect take" over these phones only to discover that some tiny bit of extraneous noise such as swallowing, breathing, chair noise from shifting in my seat, or string noise from my guitar, has intruded my mix.

These phones are perfectly suited for critical listening, are reliable, and comfortable.Highly recommended.
