AKG Q350WHT Quincy Jones Signature In-Ear Headphone (White)

 (8 customer reviews)

I am one of those people that constantly buy earphones this is over the last 10 years. My most recent aquisition before the Q350's, was the Klipsch S4i wich are exellent headphones as well and award winners. The Q350 headphones when compared to the S41's have better overall range. You can hear midrange with ease when compared to the S4i's and just about every other in ear headphones that I've ever used or owned and I've owned quite a few. In ear's from Sony, Klipsch, V-moda, Skull Candy, Apple and Bose. Most in ear's that I've used have decent low's and highs with little in between. The S4i's, for instance, have very solid thumping base, ok midrange and exellent high's. The Q350's have good bass (not as good on the low end as the S4i's), exellent mid range and treble and a better db rating than just about any othe in ear headphones on the market. It's kind of hard to describe exactly how the Q350's sound. They have big headphone presance. You can more easily pick out intruments and...Read more

This is the best in-ear earphone so far. i used to have the S4i(Klipsch, it was good at its bass but not so good on the mid and low, the bass sometimes try to overtake the mid or maybe u cant hear it at all) but once I insert this Q350 into my ear, u can feel a huge difference already, i've tried sampling some in ear earphone available in the market but so far none can match this yet. I guarantee those who bought it will start enjoying hearing music again like first love.. i cant describe it very much, because "listening is believing". to me this earphone is the masterpiece so far and glad to have more once i got my paycheck :) for backup in case the controller broken.

As a reference, I've been using the Sennheiser CX300-B In-Ear Stereo Headphonefor the past year or two. At first I wasn't convinced there was much of a sound difference between the cx300's and these AKG's. However, after some more dedicated listening, there definitely IS a difference.

The AKG Q350's put out much better bass response. I listened to a variety of music from classical to pop, vocal, and rock, and what I found was that the AKG's opened up the low end to the musical notes of low-frequency instruments like bass guitars and cellos, as well as providing extra punch for drums and other percussion. The Sennheiser's were noted in some reviews for their good bass response, but there really is no comparison to the AKG's. For non-critical listening, you might not notice the difference, but once you take time to carefully listen...Read more
