Ah, AKG
To preface this, I am no expert in "high end super awesome headphones" (then again, you wouldn't be looking at these headphones for that) - however, here is my two cents:
I have replaced these with Beyerdynamic 770 Pro 80 Ohm and the difference in sound is simply staggering.
AKG's are very very flat - it is not even dependent on the mix, the bass is simply lacking - they are open headphones, so that is to be expected.
What you should also expect is a lot of sound leaking (again, expected), but don't think you can blaze some music late at night. These do get loud, but others in your household will be able to hear it.
Were it not for 770's, I would be using these still as they are very good at guitar tracking/playing, BUT - not very great in overall enjoyment of the music (well, 770's are better in my opinion).
The quality seems okay, they're not bulletproof, but they can survive a fall from the desk.

Great for instruments & producing
These headphones are world-wide renowned for being honest and faithful in their music reproduction. Particularly fantastic for classical instruments such as the piano, they are also great for music production because of their flat frequency response. Their only downside is 1) comfort was not the highest priority and 2) I own a pair of vintage Sextett K240's, and while requiring a LOT more power to be driven, they sounded a little wider and more beautiful for lack of words. The current/modern ones sound a little more boring but again, for studio work that might be exactly what you need.

The material feels cheap, but the sound is really good for the price

You won't go wrong here
Solid headphone, well built, Choice of cables and muffs included. Very clear for mids and highs, not bass boomers which suits my taste.
Use them for monitoring jams and home recording sessions.
I've stood on them a few times - not a problem so far, bought them 3 months ago and they get daily use.
Update August 19th 2019: Great headphones, you ca't go wrong

Good value for money
Clearly, these studio headphones are on the affordable side of the market. As such, they do not disappoint. They have a fairly good and balanced sound and reasonably good build quality. They can be used for general listening, instrument practice and some studio work, but do not expect performance comparable to headphones costing 10 or 20 times more.

Good value headphones
I was searching for good open headphones, but they tend to be quite expensive, so I tried this model. They sound good, clear, open, the highs are not too harsh and the image is good. Bass are there, but they are not too prominent and not too articulate.
Build quality seems ok, let's see how long they will last.
The coiled cable is nice and handy if you use them in tiny spaces.
Their main problem is the pads. The pleather ones are comfortable but this headphones sounds best with the velour, which are terrible and way too stiff. I had to buy other companies velour pads (and foam net to re-balance the highs), so keep this in mind if you want to use the velour pads.
Overall, I'm satisfied!

WOW
great sound, very flat and sounds wide, go loud! and no distortion/coloration, these are meant for mixing/mastering purposes.

Overall a good headphone
Overall a solid choice if you are in the market for cheapish headphones.
They can sometimes have a small bit of crackling on the high end on some songs.
