Good Sound for the Price

These headphones may not be for everyone but if you're looking for a sleek package that is easily portable, not too bulky, and packs a decent sound for a great price, these AKGs get the job done.

Solid mids and highs, great portability, tangle free cord, no sound leakage

Sound not as good as open air cans, feel a bit tight after a few hours of wear

AKG K451

A much cheaper, subtler alternative to the Beats Solo HD headphones.

Fun, powerful bass ; Removable cable ; Good accessories bundle

Minor comfort niggles

The AKG K451 are good-looking, good-sounding on-ear headphones that are perfect for a work commute. With powerful bass, they’ll liven up a dreary morning with ease. They’re not the last word in audio quality if you’re a bonafide audio snob, but they...

Great Sound, very comfy

I must say these sound fantastic. I genuinely enjoy listening to my music much more than on my mid range ear buds. The bass is rich and delicious. It feel like wearing a cloud on my ears. They are robustly built, which I was concerned about considering...
