AKG Q460

We find out how these lean, green music machines compare to the Monster Beats Solo.

Rich bass, Good build

AKG Q460

More pros than cons, but the AKGs aren?t the most complete listen

Good build and finish; comfortable in situ; balanced, assertive sound

Don?t sound as spacious as most rivals

AKG Q460 review

The AKG Q460 is a sharp set of on-ear headphones with crystal-clear audio and striking looks.

We really like the AKG Q460 earphones. Amazing audio and striking looks make for a great combination. Add in an endorsement by the great Quincy Jones no less and, although the price tag is a little higher than most people may want to pay, they're well...

Quincy Jones AKG Q 460 On-Ear Headphones Review

Quincy Jones attached his name to these for a reason and I wouldn't doubt that these are what you'd see on his head in first class anytime. The Q 460 On-Ear Headphones are stylish, comfortable, offer incredible audio, and are well thought-out. The...

AKG Q460 Quincy Jones Signature Headphones Review

One of the best on-ear portable headphones out there.

Brilliant sound; Great bass; Two different length detachable cables are great for people with different needs; In-line remote is close to head and effective

Nothing, really

The earpieces and the underside of the headband have padded leather for increased comfort. The fit on the Q460 is neither too tight, nor too loose, making for a remarkably comfortable wear for all the hours I wore them. The padded cushions on the...
