The only other headphones that I have are the Sennheiser HD 202 II. When compared to it I feel happy to say that it is at par and sometimes even better. The headphones are indeed light and the cable doesn't tangle up easily. There is a headband which self adjusts accordingly and might take some time to adjust to. Overall I should say is that these headphones are great for the price and the comfort level is OVER 90000. For those who still don't know, AKG is associated with Harman.
