Bottom Line: Great.
If you want a cheap pair of quality cans, go try these out. Many people say they have poor bass, but i assure you not. Its only that it filters out the side of them because they are semi open. A little bit of eq'ing can, and does do wonders.
They do go really, terribly loud, without any noticable quality loss. I mean those vocals still peirce my brain and turn it to mush.
I dont really have anything to reference them against, but i would say the audio reproduction is near perfect. I dont listen to many studio cds these days, but those losslessly compressed concerts have never felt the same. I have a memory of hearing a drummers leather seat make a noise in a silent bit of a song. Ohh so quiet, but still there.
The value of these is off the wall. Considering you can pay au$50 for some cans at an electronics store, the extra $30 that the increce to these has been is worth 10 fold.

Bottom Line: At first, i went to the store with nothing in mind except a $120 limit. They has 3 pairs of cans. One cheap 'ol set, $340 studio pair, and then the 66's. First i listened to some jazz on the $340 pair, although they were open, they sounded really really nice. But i quickly discarded those for the price.
I tryed out the 66's, and i was expecting the price for them to be well over what i could spend. I was so happy when i found out how much they were. The sound is blissfull, period.
After 72 hours of very ancious burning in i put them on and was further blown away.
They might look flimsy and breakable, but they use this to their advantage, being stiff enough to sit atop your head firmly, but flexable to the extent of absorbing most drops (which i have wittnessed firsthand :[ very nervous moment).
To this day i would never swap trade them for anything short of astounding. Call me stubboun, but i love em. Hook them up with a good sound source and you have a good listening experience.
The semi-open design helps produce a natural sound arena around your head, and i havent had any problems with outside sound getting in, but mabey thats because of the music i listen to, and how i listen to it =]
There is not a huge overpowering bass impact with these cans, so if thats what your looking for, look elsewhere.
If your into pure, precise soundwaves, you have my advice to buy these.

Bottom Line: For the money, I haven't seen a better pair of headphones. Other products I've tried in this price range pale in comparison. After trying them out in the store with various equipment (CD players, synthesizers, etc), I felt they were fairly decent. One thing I noticed was that they didn't have that great performance at lower frequencies (about 20-30hz). But that was fixed with a slight bit of EQ fiddling. Everything else was pretty good though. I'd definitely reccomend them to anyone who was in the market.

Bottom Line: In my opinion the best value priced headphone on the market.AKG makes quality headphones,from their least expensive models to the most expensive.The build quality and durability of the K66 is not seen or "Heard" in this price range from other headphone manufacturers.I've had a few of the so-called "AudioPhile" brands of headphones and I'm not saying those headphones are not good,but they are extremely overpriced.I also recommend the AKG K401's which I also have and go for about $120,and the K401's sound far superior to headphones that I have heard that cost more than twice that price!!
