can't comment on this particular model but I have the K451s and build quality and sound are excellent. these are the same rrp as the 451s but higher spec so should be awesome.

Have a look at the sellers shop, clearly states it's the official outlet shop and the shop webpage is very well finished.

then you get a full refund through Paypal, and keep the item anyway.

What does that prove? They go to the trouble of selling knockoff gear and would stick a pic on their site saying it was genuine?? :-/

These are more for people who want a lot more bass, I prefer more of a neutral sound and eq the music accordingly like the Y550, but considerably cost more. . Still a very good price. Heat added.

You mean K550? Might be good for listening on high-end home audio, not so good for anything else.
Even with low fequencies bumped up to the maximum on my portable player they sounded simply tinny. And there's nothing "neutral" in music without any traces of bass, unless you've never heard drums or bass guitar live.

In the product information it gives the model as K619, so they aren't the same headphones.

23rd Jul 2015

Sound-wise, Y55 is almost identical as K619, some even say K619 is better in bass.
Y55 has detached cable and perhaps better build quality.
Go for K619 if you have no problem with single side fixed cable.

k619 seems to have a lot of build quality issues, lots of owners broke the tilting parts just by putting them on and off.

I have a pair of K619 myself, bought from Amazon for about £24 and have no problem with the joint so far.
But yes, I am quite gentle with it knowing its weakness. At the end of the day, if it breaks like the others said some day, a little bit super-glue will repair. I don't worry about it too much.

for £24 it's obviously a better option. Problem is that now I only find them at £40+

Forgot to mention, Y55 have detachable cable, which is always nice.

I purchased these earphones earlier this year for same price from airport to replace some HD25s. The sound is great very happy with them. Not the most comfy for long periods if you wear glasses. They fold away nicely and feel well built. Headphone control on lead is great.
