Good headphones.......2007-02-19
I have owned the HP460's for about eight months now and I really enjoy them for the price. I got them to use on the bus because I couldn't hear anything when I tried listening to my Sennheiser PX100's. They isolate pretty well and the sound is nicely detailed and has a good bass response. When I ordered them I was afraid they would be goofy looking, but I actually was pleasantly surprised how cool they look in person. Unfortunately I now need something with less isolation, so I'm going to have to get rid of my HP460's, but they've been great to me!
Nice headphones.......2007-01-15
I like the sound, the bass is nice. It's moderate sound enclosure but it depends on the volume you use. The only thing I rather to change is the grip pressure, it could be uncomfortable on the ears after a couple of hours of use like when you see a movie.
Creaky and Underpowered: Just get the K81DJ's Already (OR IEMs).......2007-01-14
While researching this product, a few reviewers recommended it as a less expensive alternative to the segment-leading AKG K81DJ. I like the idea of secret superiority, and for the price, decided it was worth at least a shot.
You might argue that, for the lesser price, less is to be expected, and there is some merit to that. But in this case, the deficiencies were so glaring and so irritating, I consider these cans to be a real value loser.
What are the problems? the HP460 (and the K81DJ for that matter) are closed headphones. This simply means that the outside covering of the actual ear coverings are solid, with no holes. Closed headphones do not let in as much outside noise as open cans, and conversely, do not leak as much of your sound. That is to say, if you are in a library with your closed earphones, it is much less likely that the person sitting next to you will be able to hear what you are listening. Another benefit is that, since less of the outside world can be heard, you can usually keep the volume lower for the same music, and your ears will thank you kindly.
The downside of closed cans is that they can be hard to get right, because that closed backing of the phone can distort the sound. All of the top, top headphones on the market are open-backed. There simply comes a point in quality where closed is too difficult. I also find that closed headphones make my ears warm, and I need to take periodic breaks to air them out.
So when we look at the HP460s, we are looking at them on the metrics of closed cans, which values isolation, and portability, which can include collapsibility, comfort, and intangibles.
Simply put, I found the HP460 to have very poor isolation. I had to manually push them onto my ears to achieve any sort of seal, and consequently, the bass was slim to non-existent. This is obviously not feasible for portable usage (or any usage, for that matter). Furthermore, they were uncomfortable, even for portables. Finally, they creaked incessantly. In open cans this might nearly be tolerated, but in a pair of closed headphones, the effect is amplified. The result is simply unacceptable.
I might have written these issues off as the vagaries of portability, but for the existence of the consensus favorite in this category, the AKG K81DJ. If you know where to look, and who to ask on ebay, you can grab a pair for $55. And even at full retail, these are worth the money. The isolation is excellent (as good as you'll get for the money without an inner-ear canal like a Shure or a Westone), the sound quality is very good, and the comfort isn't bad.
If you insist on trying an alternative to the K81DJ, try the Audio-Technica ATH-SJ5. (You may have to look around.) They're new, and not easily findable, but from the early reviews, they look to be worthy competitors, and I'm quite fond of the Audio-Technica sound, which is fun and musical. But don't buy the HP460s. They are a waste of your money.
Don't do it!.......2006-11-25
I purchased my first pair of the Hp430 'phones and was at first extremely pleased with the quality and fit, considering the reasonable price. However, this was all until one day, not even 3 months after purchasing the pair, one of the ears randomly stopped producing any sound. Initially, I wasn't too phased and thought it was just my particular pair. I returned them and was able to receive my money back. After not finding another pair that matched the hp430 for fit and comfort (i'm picky), I decided to shell out $40 again to purchase another pair of the hp430 and try it again.
Well, everything was fine until, yet again, after no more than 3 months of purchase one of the ears went bad once again. Because I purchased them at a different store than my first pair, it had been longer than their 30-day-return policy and I was told I had to go through Philips.
I phoned Philips and was told all they could do was have me spend my money on shipping to send out my headphones and they would either attempt to repair them or send me a new pair of the hp430. I insisted I did not want another pair as they are an extremely low quality in my opinion AND experience, but that is all that they can apparently do.
Don't get me wrong, these would be great headphones for the price if they didn't crap out both times i had a pair. Buyer beware.
Sounds Great.......2006-08-31
I hav a pair of the $10 open air design from Philips that I use with my MP3 player and the sound on those are the best. I decided I wanted to upgrade for my xbox and my home stereo and it had to be the Philips brand. The outside sound isolation is really good almost outperforms my $50 Aiwa noise canceling ones, and the sound quality is way better. The rich deep base, the awesome midrange and high highs is incredible. My only complaint is they are a bit tight on my ears and it gets sore after a few hrs especially with my glasses on. But you shud plug these babies into your MP3 players, you will throw out those crappy ear buds. Im anxious to try them on my plane trip, I have used them in my vehicle I dont hear any road or engine noise just a awesome sounding pair of head phones. They look great and durable too. Buy them.
