Excellent headphones but I found them too critical for extended listening. Good price though.

Great pair of headphones and they have been available on Amazon at this price for some weeks. If you can live without a detachable lead the K612's are also a good buy at the mo. They are slightly less critical and slightly easier to drive.

Be warned, you need a decent amp to drive these properly.

Thinking about these seriously but would love some expert advice...
I bought the M50x previously and found that they were too tinny and lacking bass. I did buy a headphone amp (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013HL9NVK/ref=pe_1909131_77697121_tnp_email_TE_AMZLdp_2) but this made little difference to the sound quality (using an optical signal). My cheapo logitech speakers with subwoofer sound so much better.
Would anyone recommend this AKG pair instead, or could it be that the sound card in my computer is the problem despite using a DAC thing.
Many thanks.

The M50X are known to have increased bass, so not sure about that one. They are quite easy to drive too.
These are very clear, full of detail, and well controlled. But they don't have a lot of bass.

If m50 sounded too tinny and lacked bass I would suggest you steer clear of AKGs.
Also these are open back vs M50 closed back.
There aren't any very good yet cheap closed back headphones. Superlux are worth looking at being semi-open.

AKG K702 has no bass at all.
Do not get me wrong. I love them. I have a pair.
If you do not like M50X because you think they lack of bass, there is no way you find more bass in AKG K702.
