AKG K 172 HD
$200.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:Despite not technically being noise-cancelling, background noise rarely gets through while using these. Earcup design velvet earpads work-these are quite comfortable. Meant for professional use and it shows-sound quality is well worth the price.
The Cons:No included carrying case or method for quick cord lengthening limits portability. Self-adjusting design doesn't allow for around-the-neck wearing-they tend to choke.
