Man I had to repurchase these AKG'S they are killer phones!!! I am in an extensive recording program at my school and the right headphones are essential to the labs there and let me say that they are absolutely superb.  Someone stole the first pair I had, and I rarely repurchase the same item twice but these were definitely worth the reinvestment.  True sound, ultra clear highs and low end without distortion.  I'd recommend these, and they cover your entire ear, I know it says semi open but it covers the entire ear and they are super comfortable too.  Hope this helps
