AKG K545 Closed Over-Ear Headphones with control unit and microphone Compatible with iOS and Android smartphones - Black (Electronics)

Customer Review

After a long odyssey through the Sony MDR-1 (dubious plastic, see review there), the Audio Technica WS55i (uncomfortable to wear, see review there) and the predecessor of this model, namely the K551 (unbalanced sound, see review there) am I finally arrived at my search for the perfect headphones headset at K545.

I must say that I really think workmanship, materials, sound and comfort very well:
He sits comfortably with me around the ears (over-ear) and suppressed even after long sessions not like the AKG K518, which I had earlier times. The sound fills my needs completely - neither bass nor treble-heavy, all details are clearly presented and no exaggeration. The materials and processing what I think is wonderful, except for the somewhat stiff and "low" acting cable.

The predecessor K551 sat as good on the ears and was even processed something valent, but was unfortunately almost no bass again (except very deep kick-bass, see review there) and sound by his vote somehow unnatural. This problem has not the K545 beautiful way.

I particularly like the removable cable (if there should be a cable break times), especially accompanied by one of Apple and one for Android control. I can only speak for the Apple Bediehnung and this works well to very well.
Since the manufacturer is located in Austria so I'm assuming that in case of breakage can easily reorder the cable.

If I'm so full of praise, why not 5 stars?
Only in my case I could give 5 stars because I, the headset during an action by Amazon for 166 - have received. At this price it is for me quite clear 5 Stars.
For standard price of over 240, - I must say, however, that I still find it excessive, especially since no bag or carrying case beiligt - you really get only the headphones and the two cables.
Since my review will help others in deciding I therefore admit by the price-performance factor only 4 stars - the product but in my view, no significant weaknesses. If the KH by about 4 years still without flaws perform his duties, I'll be happy to increase 5 star - in this case, I see the price for the quality but when justified.

I am glad to have the K545 with headset function found a great-sounding headphones, which consists of appealing materials and wears great.
I hope I'll have fun with it long and recommend him as a balanced headphone upscale you!
