I'm looking for a pair of new 'phones and I like the look of the AKG K450 model. Has anyone on here used them or can they recommend them at all?

I have the K420's and like them very much . The shorter cable is perfect for remotes , so it doesnt get in the way at all . Very comfortable , great detail in the audio.

The lower impedance makes them easy to drive with MD , so even at low volume the bass is clean and tight . The highs are crispy but not Harsh , very airy . Great phones. The 450's though have the "Leatherette " Padding on the cans , and if you sweat that will get irritating I would think , I do like the Detachable cable , that is very cool .

I have been using the AKG K26P which was their former mini w/ ear cup instead of foam and the AKG K81DJ for at least a year and a half. Both very nice headphones...I thought... until I just received a pair of Grado SR60i ($69 no shipping charge). I have never experienced better headphones that weren't super expensive audiophile models intended for use with high end stereo equipment.

These Grado SR60i 'phones have a clarity, depth and dimension that I can only describe as 3D listening. I've been using them with my RH1 and all my music is becoming a new listening experience. Check them out.

Wow! I also bought a pair of Grado SR60i two weeks ago as I had read loads of reviews that praised them highly. I too find them to be brilliant when used with the RH1. I also bought the accessory headphone case which is a must to prevent them getting damaged - they aren't the most portable of headphones in terms of packing them away - but if you want the best sound they are the best 'phones in their price range by a country mile.

I didn't know thee was a travel case for them, I'll have to track it down because I'm already taking them portable. They just sound too good not to use wherever I'm listening...which is pretty much everywhere I go. For the price I fugure I can afford to trash a pair every couple of years. I got mine on line from a place called JazzLoft. Lowest price I found and he doesn't charge shipping. He is also an authorized Grado dealer so it's fresh product.
