My mother complained about the headphones of my father being too loud. So I gave him my AKG K52. Not only is my mom very happy as they are closed headphones so she doesn't have to deal with his sound spilling over, my dad is also really happy as the K52 sound so much better and are way more comfortable to wear than his old Philips cheapo cups that were sent to the trash. Finally, I used this as an excuse to get the AKG K92 and boy, am I happy. They sound So. Damn. Good. :)
