“The sound is quite correct, the bass is jaw dropping because of the new cushions. The midrange is quite good, and the treble is just amazing (with) loads of details, nearly beating my XTZ 99 2.2 v2006 speakers with the Doxa 70 amplifier.”

“These headphones are very comfortable. They come with a great carrying case with an insert designed for the headphones. I actually thought they’d serve as an upgrade to my Koss Porta-Pro’s based on cost. What a mistake. I have to say I’m a bit disappointed in the sound quality as the highs sound muffled and too low, mids seem a bit low but a tad bit higher than the highs, and bass is just plain overwhelming. These phones lack tonal balance to the extreme. Overall they’re very loud and may sound great to the general ear or if you love bass heavy tracks. However, I’m a bit picky when it comes to sonic accuracy, clarity, and balance. I’m what I like to call a low budget audiophile. I also own a pair of Grado SR60i’s, and Sennheiser HD555′s for full size headphones. These would be quite hard for anything to match under $200.00 in that category. I have the Shure SE110, UE Super-fi 3 studio’s, and the Bose Tri-port hybrid ear-buds as well. The reason I bring all those up is so you can see that I have quite a bit to compare the AKG 450′s to.”
“The sound that is there is high quality. Bass and Mids are clean and clear. Bass may be a little heavy, but then again if there was more treble, the sound would be more balanced. The appearance is good. Comfort is excellent. Not too much pressure on the ears, ear cushions are soft and supple. Noise isolation is good for this type of headphone. Portability is excellent. Detachable cord from the headphones allows you to change the length or replace the cord should it become damaged. Included accessories are nice, 1/4″ and cell phone adapters are included as well as two cord lengths.”
