AKG Limited Edition DJ Style Headphones

I really can not understand how these headphones can get a rating of 4 stars; obviously, people like them but AKG has really dropped the ball with the 518 series; and that's unfortunate because the sound quality is actually quite good considering the price. The faults with these headphones are that they are incredibly uncomfortable to have around your neck, something I hadn't thought of testing before I bought them. Since I wear them on my daily commute, I prefer that they don't choke me when I don't have them on my ears. There is no position in which you can have them around your neck that is at all comfortable, and I have a small neck. The second problem....arguably worse.....is that the jack is very poor quality and does not properly fit in the female receptacle of any product in which I've tested them, the result being that the connection is unstable and cuts in and out. On the up side, I find them reasonably comfortable over my ears, in spite of the fact that they are relatively tight fitting. I wouldn't describe them as junk, but I wish I hadn't bought them. I'll order a pair of of Audio Technica MH50x, the best deal out there for all around comfort, build quality and sound
