AKG K 430 Foldable Mini Headphone - Silver

I picked these up from eBay for about £27 they were £40 on amazon so i saved £13 pound. Nice one.

These headphones sounded Good straight from the box but im no audiophile so im easily pleased.

They come with volume control but it does not ajust ipod volume which i think is a bit of a pain.

The bass on these are ok but i dont like bass overwelliming so thats fine

the highs and mids and lows are all good well to me they are.

I got them in white and they look nice.

Verdict:

These are Good headphones for the budget but if the cable was a bit longer and the cans were comfyier it would of been 5 stars.

Bass: The bass on the K430 is there. Nice "uuds" and "thuds" at times but somewhat light.

Highs: The highs on these are just. . .amazing! They are clear and can go somewhat high with the volume before it pierces the ear.

Mids: The mids on these are pushed out a fair bit, which makes the highs and lows at time sound very bad. It is detailed in a way, but a little bit grainy?

Lows: Awful (compared to MS1i's). They are so muddy and crap. You can hear the lows, but it's so...so...muddy! If you compare the lows to apple earphones than they are great!

Comfort: 2 out of 5 stars. Sorry for being mean, but they are not comfortable! After 30 minutes - 1 hour, my outer ears starts to hurt. It might be me, but it hurts! T__T

Design: Very good, love the design and that it has an integrated volume control.

Value: $40 on eBay? HECK GET IT!
