(More customer reviews)AKG's K 450 are titled "Premium Foldable Headphones" -- they are exceptionally good headphones for travel.I bought mine two months ago.I broke them in through continuous playing for about seven or eight days.I haven't found a high quality hp that didn't benefit greatly from such a ritual.I've taken the 450's on business trips and use them at home as well, while working.They are light, comfortable, well-built, and easily fold up for trips.
I'm listening to Richard Goode's recording of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 2 as I write this review.Here are my notes.The sound-stage is stable and offers a full stage for the orchestra.First and second violins are separate, distinct, and well balanced.The violas and cellos have their own places.I can easily distinguish cello and bass parts.String tone is exquisite: soft and tectured with no sign of shrillness. Piano and orchestra are balanced and filled with nuance.Woodwinds are easily distinguished by tone and location on the stage.When asked to "chirp" that's exactly how the oboe section sounds.Right now soloist and orchestra are putting out a lot of sound -- I can hear high strings and winds balanced against the piano, with excellent (nondistorted) bass notes form the low strings.
Just now I switched to Peter and the Wolf (Ormandy's recording) to see if I could distinguish the french horns playing the wolf's theme; I could and followed the three parts without trouble.Vocals (Bach BWV 207, for instance) are almost too good to stop.For all of this I had the K 450's plugged straight into my iPOD. The 450's sound better with a hp amp and even better with a DAC + hp amp!The AKG K 450's are highly recommended.Five stars.
