This headset has become the answer to my long quest for a high quality
sound in a small, on ear headset. Based upon the acoustic accuracy as
perceived with my ears which have many years of listening experience
with a focus on blues, jazz, vocals, opera, classical, rock n' roll,
folk, acoustic, ballads, C&W, Cajun, Tejano and more, I rate these
headphones as a 5 star audio product. I compared them to Sennheiser 280
Pro, various Bose headsets, Bowers and Wilkins, Dr. Dre, Bang and
Olufsen Form and others. I was amazed at how much musical clarity,
range, brilliance, bass and presence the AKG Q460 provides compared to
the other headsets I compared. It is important when testing these using
an iPod Classic 160 GB - my music source in this case - to select the
EQ, or equalizer, setting that is most pleasing to your own ears. The
form factor of the Q460 makes them easy to carry, comfortable to wear
indoors or outdoors (except for wind noise). I found they exclude enough
external sound so that I can enjoy my music while someone is listening
to a nearby television set. When I first tried this headset, I was blown
away by the range of sound that came through clear and crisp. For
example, bell tones, fingers on guitar strings, background talk between
musicians, and I also experience the full side to side breadth of the
sound spectrum across the recording studio or live stage. Very enjoyable
and not expected in this price range. The cord is a super design and
it can be disconnected from the headset and is strain relieved and well
made. The ear pieces feel comfortable and are much preferred for bus and
plane travel compared to ear buds. Quincy Jones must have approved this
headset personally and he is a stickler for the quality of his
arrangements and of his recordings - which span some sixty plus years
and 27 Grammy awards. I have enjoyed his 4 CD Musical Biography on the
Q460s. So, all in all, a great headset, but why did I have to take away
one star from my 5 star rating?
The biggest reason is that the in
line control on the long cord corrupted some of my music. This - I
expect occurred when I was fast forwarding to the next song. Perhaps I
accidently clicked the control an extra time, but whatever I did, there
is no excuse for a product to corrupt the data in the iPod. The buttons
on the control are tiny and my fingers are big so I may have hit two
buttons at once. See photos. But, the end result was that a number of
songs would play for a few seconds and then skip to the next song all by
themselves. I had to delete and reload some 40 pieces of music to my
iTunes library and to my iPod. Fortunately, I caught this early. If
anyone can explain this, I will be glad to modify this review. I do not
know the exact cause but it seems to be related to the long cord's
integral control. The male plug also is different than that on the
normal ipod headset as it has one extra insulated section. I cleaned up
my corrupted iTunes files, stopped using the in line control, place the
iPod on "lock" when inserting and removing the male plug and the
problem seems to have gone away. Be very cautious before you invest in
one of these headsets for use with an iPod Classic as AKG does not list
them for iPod Classic use. In fairness, many iPod Classic users have
complained on line about a similar song skipping problem, but have not
blamed it on their headset.
