Will be able to to give you better suggestions if you can follow the requested standard format of asking stated on the very first post as below
- Your rig (mp3 players, amps, sound card etc)
- What type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc)
- File format used in your source (i.e. flac, mp3 etc)
- Genre of music you listen to (classical, jazz, metal, etc)
- Headphone/ earphone type (closed, open, circumaural, IEM etc)
- Other requirements (if any) (mic, volume control, 5.1ch, 7.1ch etc)
Apologies, I put up the early post in a rush. Here's my requirement.
Rig: Nexus 7. Using it as my portable pc at public areas such as schools or library
Usage: Watching videos while browsing the internet, listening to my music while reading e-books, occasional movies but NO gaming.
File of music: mp3 320 and FLAC.
Genre: mixtures of Electronica, Trance, Melodic, House and Jazz music
Headphone type: I'd love models like the ES-55 or AKG k450/k451, the ear-on is pretty convenient to have. Unlike earpiece where I always have to be careful while inserting it or plugging it out.
Other requirement: a mic would be nice for Skype!
Thank you so much in advance!

well i didnt try audition the k451 but i auditioned the k450 and es55, both are decent headphone and very comfortable but i dont like the coloured vocal on the es55 compared to k450. but es55 certainly looks better imo. i bought the k450 and i absolutely love it, it is light, has good amount of bass and very clear mid and high for the price.
Yeah, the K451 seems to be the newer model hence the unavailability for now. I think I misunderstood thinking the k451 was an improvement of the k450. They should be different models which I will definitely try out before throwing my cash. I don't care looks actually. Just want the best bang for my buck atm. Thanks for your reply!
