Actually, it should be the Solo HD Beats by Dre with me, but made me but then the unverschähmt Hohne price and the fact that you usually only fellow of school age with these models looks deterred from buying. The reports on the sound quality of Dre Beats and aggressive marketing by the manufacturer who then prevented me from buying. So much for my decision.
But here it is supposed to go to the K-451.
## Private:
So first it should be noted that the model is very mobile, the headphones are nice and light and can be really folded on a very pleasant transport size. Thus they can also well stowed when not in use in your pocket or simply around the neck. The use of iPods / iPhones / iPads / MacBooks remain guaranteed even with the wired remote control 100%. There are no differences from the original Apple Fernbendieung. Making calls is due to micro possible soft and loud, in front, back - no problem! So the device can well remain in the pocket. Control is via the cable that comes out of the K-451 at the left earpiece, so you have everything with his left hand to make, but also for me as a right-not a problem.
## Comfort:
The Ohrposterung is pleasant, so even prolonged wearing of headphones does not present any pain. For my received only a "hint" too artificial leather was processed for the upholstery, the cushions are not as tightly related, eg. In the Solo HD, but this is not a limitation, I will mention it only for safety's sake
## Scope of supply:
Furthermore me the extensive scope of supply is positively noticed. Included is next to a second cable (no mic), a high-quality carrying bag and a 6.3mm adapter. The bag is characterized particularly by the fact that it is specifically tailored to the K-451, this one puts in the vorgefortem areas in your pocket from, so nothing rattles around and the headphones are stowed compactly and safely for transport.
## Sound:
Especially on smartphone notice that you do not have so much turn up the volume in order to achieve a comfortable level as for example in the iPhone headset. While I had to turn up the iPhone with the original headset white almost to full volume, it is usually only at the AKG's, turn up only half of the maximum possible Lautsärke, this is also at the design wahscheinlich the headphones. This is one of the biggest benefits for me.
The bass is just right to my mind again passed, not too pushy but still crisp. The heights are to my mind also well done, but I'm not a sound professional, I use only the new AKG's even a pair of Bose InEars and the original Apple headset (for jogging I find something suitable InEars)
## Headset Quality:
I have a few words separately for headset quality post:
Unfortunately, my K-451 behave somewhat strangely: Call quality itself is good on all tested devices, that one understands his interlocutor, even in louder environments. If one uses the headset, however, in the quiet location so I notice a slight noise. I have used the headset in absolutely quiet location and my interlocutor asked me if I would stand on a street. This phenomenon I have, however, found only with an iPhone 4 (the apparatus with other headsets produced no noise). On a BlackBerry device, the AKG worked again without noise. Therefore unfortunately only 3 stars from me.
## Conclusion:
Those who, like me, does not see spending too much money on headphones, yet appreciates an excellent, especially mobile sound value, really good access to the K-451. In addition you can see so not quite as silly as with many other OnEar models.
Another star deduction is there but for the not quite as high wikende cable, here one could be geared even a little more on the competition (Phillips / O'Neil / Monster), the plug of AKG's act too bold, the cable itself a little too thin.
Due to the fragile and disproportionate acting cable and the problem with the headset, there is of me, unfortunately only 3 stars. Who does not want to use the headset Eigent shaft, will surely be satisfied. The long the cable, I can not judge, unfortunately, but it gives the impression as if by design, the joy will not last too long.
