Hello,
It is mighty cold here and I'm wearing a lot on me and on my head and there is just no space for a pair of headphones there. I decided to get some simple in-ear phones for the half an hour transport.

Amazon sells Denon AH-C452K for $40 so I am thinking to get them, however, i cannot find a single review.
Headroom is saying that AHC351K are very good. Are the AH-C452K even better?

Based on Denon's product naming the C452 would be better than the C351 and a step below the C551. That's a good price as like Mark pointed out the price here is £60, the same that they charge for the C551.

BTW, you won't get the HD280 sound on an IEM. I do not think there is an IEM product that comes close to replicating the sound signature of a full size headphone. The IE 8 is said to come close and while I am getting it, I highly doubt it will have that vast soundstage sound.

all types of phones sound slightly different based on design. think about how open and closed back full size phones sound different...if you're going to iem's it's a completely different experience altogether without getting into the argument that any type of headphone technically doesn't have any soundstage.

i prefer full size phones but use iem's for convenience. u just have to try it and see if you like it.
