Does anyone remember learning the Recorder to the tune of
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. ‘Til your good is better and your better is best ?
Apparently, it was said by St. Jerome… not Recorder Book 1 as I had always believed. Anyway, never mind. All I need you to take away from that is the notion of Good, Better and Best. It is these three notions we will be applying in our Headphone Comparison:
Good
These headphones offer a sleek design, with a big sound. They are light to wear and highly portable while also delivering powerful bass and clear treble sound. This makes them highly versatile as they are great for everything from personal listening to Sound Monitoring and DJ use.
In regards to the latter, the reversible ear cups are highly useful, as well as adding to the comfort of these headphones.
- Cable length: 1.2 m
- 1/8th inch plug
- Frequency response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz @ -3dB
- Impedance: 32 Ohms @1Khz
- Sensitivity (SPL): 102 dB/mW
- Accessory: 1/4 inch Stereo jack plug adaptor
Better
These are, without a doubt, the single most popular headphones we have at Normans. The cushioned ear cups and padded headband ensure comfort while in use, and the adjust-ability of the headband allows for people of any size or age to use them with ease.
Simply put, they are
very comfortable and sound great too.
- Cable length: 1.5m
- ¼ inch plug
- Frequency response: 20 – 22,000Hz
- Impedance: 320hms

Best
While like the models above, these headphones are highly adjustable, the AKG K52 goes a step beyond with automatic adjustment. This ensures a perfect fit on every head, every time.
Along with this perfect fit comes a fantastic sound quality. Thanks to AKGs many years of experience in crafting high quality recording and performance equipment, these headphones are perfect for musicians and producers alike, as well as those who simply want to appreciate every nuance of their favourite tracks.
As an added bonus, these headphones boast an extended life span thanks to their replaceable leatherette earpads.
