Looking for a new set of (foldable) headphones : AKG K 430/K 450/ K 518 ? Sennheiser PX 200 II ?
Hi Akoya, It looks like we're on the same boat. I started with the AKG K422's last week, had the K518's for two days (the discomfort was too much for me), and today I have the K450's. I liked the K422, but I think they're open. There's a nice thread about the k420 here. I think they are...- jorges

Well, I just bought the AKG K450's! I only listened to a few tracks so far. Right now I am listening to some african music with mostly drums (Djembe's, to be precise) and it sounds nice.

Quote: slow? I guess I'll have to learn the jargon, is there a place where one can learn all these terms, or the only way is to read posts and ask people? All in all, I got your positive impression about them. Ah! out of curiosity, what are those other portables you mentioned?- jorges

Quote: Given that I have only listened to the K420 and the K518 (but only for a couple of hours), how would you compare the K450's against these? I found what I believe is the frequency response of the K450, but I am not sure how to interpret it (I mean, it's obvious that it has a...- jorges

Last week I broke the headphones I was using (sennheiser omx 60), and while looking at a local store for a replacement pair, I heard a seller praising AKG phones (until then totally unknown to me).
