I'm ambivalent, resp. I agree. The AKG is around 30 years old and
perhaps 10 years later there was a step forward and there might be no
big differences until today.

To enjoy music I always preferred Bayer, but the AKG IMO is better to
produce music. I can't pay for more than one headphone, so I bought the
AKG instead of a Bayer.
