Haha ok maybe noob 2 cents impression...
Thanks for the feedback! I was also looking at K450 / Q460 for portability.» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Last month I decided to get a portable cans to replace my portable use Sony EX500 IEM(they are not broken, just kinda irritated that I won't be able to hear people calling me when I'm listening music with it, especially in college). These are possibly one of the best portable can(if not the best I have tested) straight out from the box. The sound is very direct, exciting and the bass is just sufficient to me. It's a bit tight at first when I started using it(my head is big, lol), but after awhile I got used to it. Love the ear pads. Damn airy, soft and comfy on ears.
Before I bought this, I have audited AKG Q460, K450, Beats Solo HD, Klipsch Image One and Fanny Wang's 1000 series(all have gone through 200 hours burn in). End up loving both Klipsch Image One and AKG Q460 because of their ability to perform at a pretty good overall standard playing straight from my portable devices(Samsung Galaxy Note and Sony A846) without really needing a portable amp to boost(lazy to bring amp around actually..). The reason I choosed Q460 instead of Image One is because of the replaceable cable because my headphones mainly spoils because of cable issue, I quite careless with my stuffs haha.
I find it slightly better from K450. Bass aside, everything sounds 1 step better too no matter how many types of songs I try(acoustic-kpop-clubsongs-jazz...)
But the warmth, soundstage, vocal clarity, details... still cannot compare to my K702 though when I compare both on Foobar software and plugged in to my Asus Essence STX sound card. Honestly, size really matters
Might try Bowers and Wilkins P5 if got chance next time and compare
Thanks bro.
The bass level is just up to my liking. Beats Solo HD is another world level of bassy already haha. But anyway I still choose Q460 because of the mid and high tone is much better than Solo HD, which is kinda important because I also listen acoustic music quite often other than Kpop Jpop

Can you please comment on how much the sound leaks? And if possible, how it compares to K142/K242? Thanks
