    Hi all,

    Have finally realised that my iPhone headphones are rubbish and decided to invest in a decent pair of headphones.

    I had been suckered into thinking Beats by Dre were good but you guys have saved me :)

    I have been looking at the AKG Q460 or AKG K450.

    What do you think or can you sway me differently.

    I would like an iPhone remote in the cable and to have them on ear rather than over.

    Looking at no more than €150

    Cheers

    The AKG Q460 has Quincy Jones name on it like Beats By Dre so I'd imagine there is a premium on the price for having a well known name on them. AKG are a well known brand and they don't come cheap so perhaps widen your short list to other brands so you get the most from your budget. Meelec aren't as well known but do have several models which could fulfil your criteria. I'd only be rehashing someone else's opinions on the other models so you should read up on opinions yourself.

    Portable headphone review here
    This review isn't specifically looking at iphone headphones but some might be compatible.

    Iphone specific headphones and earphones here
    This isn't as detailed as the other review sites but it's might be more focused.

    You have a smaller choice of headphones with iphone compatible controls so perhaps consider IEMs as there is more options and are generally better value for money and much more portable.
    IEM review here
    Pay particular attention to those IEMs with a blue box as they have inline mics and could be compatible with iphones or android phones.
