From the review
Back to school with AKG headphones -- but which pair?
"I was really impressed at how well they blocked out noise I haven't always found on-ear models to be as effective in that arena. I especially liked the 142s, because the design allows the earcup to swivel a little bit.,."
Amanda, Crutchfield A/V Writer
