I wanted to leave on the Sennheiser or Bose. But prices have discouraged me. Positive customer reviews on AKG 450 made me buy it, and I am not disappointed! I wanted a good quality headphones that folds and has a case. In this case, the case is very well designed, and stiffness provides excellent protection for transport. I was impressed by the quality: the net, light, which seems to me to restore the frequency range of the most serious to the most acute. I did not poke test, but listening is extremely enjoyable. Moreover, the headset is comfortable. Incidentally, timely delivery, quality of the monitoring and the delivery of flawless quality packaging. Not having tried Bose or Sennheiser good, I will not venture to compare the AKG 450. I'm super satisfied. If this is your budget, so do not hesitate ...
