Our take on the AKG K 451

Travel in style with these compact, high-quality headphones

folding design

A compact, folding design makes the K 451s easy to take along everywhere.

Take AKG's compact K 451 portable headphones with you everywhere to enjoy your music to the fullest, and manage your phone calls with hands-free ease. They deliver the top-to-bottom clarity and accuracy that music lovers demand. Soft, comfortable ear pads team up with the K451's closed-back, lightweight design to block out most ambient noise for undistracted listening. An innovative folding mechanism allows these 'phones to collapse down to a super-compact size for easy carrying inside the included protective case.


in-line mic

The in-line microphone and remote let you easily answer calls on your iPhone and adjust the volume.

Switch between calls and music on your iPhone®

And these headphones are compatible with your iPod® or iPad®, too. Plus, AKG includes two detachable cords — one with the in-line remote/microphone, and a standard headphone cable. Each is designed to be tangle-resistant for fewer hassles on the go.

The AKG K 451 headphones are indeed compact and portable. The earcups, though small, comfortably covered my ears and closed them off from a good deal of the noise around me. I was impressed by how clean my music sounded coming from the headphones.

Since these are portables, I spent most of my time with them listening to lo-res audio files. They sounded pretty good, and I heard a reasonable amount of detail. With higher-quality audio tracks, the sound was (naturally) even better. They may be designed for portable use, but I could definitely use the AKG K 451's for day-to-day listening at work, too.
