are B&O hedphones good?


I am looking at a pair of B&O U70 headphones on Craigslist; are B&O headphones good? if so, should I pull the trigger? Price is $125

I've not listened to these particular models, but in the past I found B&O to be tinny and sibilant.

AKG at that price point is a much better deal.
@erik_squires thanks man. Im checking them out now. would you recommend a certain model?
Googling shows that these particular headphones were made about 37 years ago.  Not sure if that's what you really want to spend $125 on unless you want them for vintage/memory purposes.

I have visited and listened to B&O stuff and it has never impressed me.  Their products are more for people who want that gadget type look instead of people who want a good sounding system.
For AKG, the 240s are actual studio references.  The 700 series are pricey but excellent.

You should also check out what Hifiman has in your price range.
FYI, I just recently got some AKG K712.  It is excellent in resolution.  The K240 is likely very good as well, but it has a bump in the 100hz midbass area and a pretty high peak at the 6-7khz area.  This would make the midrange a little hidden, but the resolution is likely very good.
Ah, added note.  The AKG K240 mk ii model for $128 is a LOT flatter in frequency response and better than the $60 version.
