Since i crashed my car about 3 weeks ago, and i'm now forced to take public transportation, i saw myself in dire need of a decent pair of headphones so i could listen to it in the go.
i got the bottom of the line AKGs http://www.akg.com/personal/cproducts/powerslave,id,965,pcategory,4,nodeid,11,_language, EN.html
I know they're open back and not the best option for transportation but DAMN do they sound great.
They're not up to Grado SR-80 level, but they are a lot less bulky and you can actually wear them on the street without looking like an ass.
They have very trebble, clear but not shrill, easier to listen to than the grados
the midrange is adequate enough, considering these cost 42€. in fact its much, MUCH better when comparing it to the midrage of the Senns PX200 i still own.
and the BASS!! damn, when i saw the sticker on the box advertising the "excellent bass on the go" i thought it would be single-note and as thumby and inintelegible as they come, but its actually the best thing about these earphones. Clear, precise, punchy...
So basically, very very pleased. If you have a little more cash and NEED something close-backed, its older brother the K414p fits the bill.
cheers!
