You get what you paid for
PROS:
-Very lightweight and comfortable;
-Decent quality for 30€, but do not expect "high quality" as I saw many people (and AKG) writing;
-2.5m cable, which could be a pro but also a con :D ;
-Decent bass for the price.
CONS:
-Very bad isolation;
-Really bad frequency response: highs totally messed up, mids with strange behavior;
-Consequentially, stereo image is pretty messed up;
-Materials do not feel like solid, balanced or strong - they're still acceptable for price range.
I am a master's degree student in electroacoustic composition, ergo: not an expert but not just an enthusiast.
I have to say my recent headphones have been AKG702 and Beyerdynamic 990 PRO, also in these days I am listening in a very great studio (well treated - enormous Genelecs), so my standards may be strongly influenced by this.
So, these headphones are pretty much ok for the money you're about to spend. But do NOT expect a decent isolation, a reasonably fair frequency response, a nice stereo image.
I just thought this pair of headphones would have been something better. Unfortunately it does not satisfy me, so I will send it back.

Not Quite
Quality is excellent, personally, I found the following points.
1. Treble response is too high and not realistic when compared with KRK pro monitors, so if I use it for mastering my balance will be off.
2. Fit - A Headphones deliver bass response based on how good it covers ears airtight in my opinion, the ear cups are not oval, they are round and too big for most of them I think, leaking the air all around and very difficult to judge BASS and not convenient. Ear cups are a bit rough.
3. I know you get what you pay for, but for the price, I shall say very nice but I do not recommend them for mixing.

Good headphones
These are good headphones for the price - I use them as monitors whilst recording vocals - and I can say they do that job well.
They are clear in sound and give a good range of frequencies.
Unfortunately my pair of headphones have now stopped working in one ear - I don't think I can really blame the build quality of AKG on this though - My headphones met my 2 year old daughter - they didn't stand a chance really :-D

Very light phones, smallish mini jack connector
Very light phones good to guests.
Sound is bright and ear pads are squishy (maybe it’s just feeling, but have impression I hear em, probably just question of what I’m used to)
Mini jack is small, can be too lose with loose sockets (don’t have screw on adapter).

Good quality, angled jack not for me...
I started playing again the guitar after 35 years! I was so happy when <i received this headphone, also happy when using it... But I could use it only just 5 times... a sudden movement of my cat scared me and oooops... the jack is totally torn off... if the jack was not an angled one, all would be good!

There's better for cheaper
I bought a couple of this one and a couple of the t.bone HD 200. They are very similar: OK sound, loud levels achievable, flimsy build, adequate jack adapter, questionable comfort. I like the sound of the cheaper t.bone HD 200 better though. This one sounds just a bit duller.

Ok for the price, but not very high quality
I bought these headphones for convenience and not for sound quality. They do the job well, and they're actually quite comfortable and can be used for hours with fatiguing my ears/head. However, they have a certain hiss which is always there. Can be annoying, especially when using at low volume. Anyway can't expect much more given the price, so still happy with the purchase.
