This is a pair of AKG Q701 Quincy Jones Signature Series reference headphones in black. They're in perfect condition and come with two gold plated mini xlr to 3.5mm stereo cables, one is 10 foot long and the other is 20 foot. The 20 foot cable was purchased separately and alone is worth about $30-$40. Also included is the gold plated 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter that came with the headphones.
Anyone who's serious about recording music will want to own these headphones. Their design and the meticulous way they are wired for sound means you get the truest sound available while listening to audio through these headphones.
I babied these headphones and in so doing they're still in pristine condition. They were only ever used in my recording studio/home and never traveled outside of my studio, I kept them in a drawer of my desk when not in use to keep dust and potential damage to a minimum.
This same pair of headphones new will set you back $500-$600.
