Being a happy owner of an AKG Q460 headphone, I am pleased to write a short review about the AKG Quincy Jones series. When I first heard this product name, immediately felt that this must be something good.
Three different models make this product line:
- Q350 a canal type earphone
- Q460 - a light and foldable mini travel headphone
- Q701 - a large, professional headphone
All the three are available in three colours: black, white and cool lime. This lime colour appears on all types, because the brand / type texts and the cable have it.
Unfortunately I haven't got the chance to try the first and last model, but as a user of Q460, I can share you only positive thoughts: it is a convenient just-the-perfect-size headphone with quite clean sound and incredible bass. The music you listen to is so living, energic, but still not disturbing. It manages well even the loud-noisy recordings as well. It comes with a cool case, in which you can keep it while it is folded.
Though I really like Quincy Jones' music, I have a doubt of the amount of quality increase by his name. I mean, I couldn't compare it with similar AKG headphones, I feel there wouldn't be so much difference. His name may be a marketing tool, but I would not like to state anything negative: because this is my favourite headphone. It is good-looking, good-sounding and also has the well-known special Q letter, referring to Quincy.
