You admittedly pay quite a bit more for a fairly small improvement in sound quality, and from a purely aural standpoint, the extra cash isn’t terribly well spent. However, the Sennheiser HD 429 budget over-ear headphones are smaller than the AKG K77s, thanks to the lack of a large frame over the head strap, feel a little more solid on the head, as well as combining high-end looks with a budget price.
