AKG K52 High Performance Closed-Back, Monitoring Studio Headphones, Wired, Lightweight Design, 3.5mm and 1/4" adapters, 3m Cable - Black

Having just invested in a small, very simple, home studio set up - for when I don't want to go to my recording proper studio, unlock it and turn it all on - so I can do simple bits of recording; musical sketches and odds and sods, I wanted a cheap, closed-back pair of headphones, that don't leak sound. This is especially important with click tracks, which can ruin the recording of a quiet acoustic instrument, such as a guitar, with their tick-tick-tick being quite audible on the recording. I didn't want to pay a lot, and these are perfect. AKG headphones are generally superb, I have been using a high-end pair for mastering in my studio for the past 15 years or so, so bought these with confidence. Comfortable, minimal-to-no sound leaking, pretty decent sound stage and over all sound, perfectly good enough to wear when tracking a second guitar or other acoustic instrument, or when doing a vocal. Would I use them to listen to music with? Well, I will have to answer that in a few months when they have 'run in' by being used. Certainly they are not bad in all honesty; i have heard much, much worse, and at this price they are pretty damn good. I had another pair of headphones arrive today at approaching 3 times the price and they were awful, so bad in fact I have returned them.. i wont be returning these. Maybe the sound is a little muddy over all, a little lacking in sparkle, but the sound stage is pretty wide and airy, I would say the lower mid is a bit dominant, and the lower high is a bit lacking, but that's with only playing music on them for about 30 minutes; like I said, let me give it a few months for them to settle in. But so far, for the money, I'm delighted, and for the use I want to put to put them too they are idea.

For the money these are pretty good. The build quality seem fine and the tone of these is fairly neutral with no obvious bias to bass or treble. Far from audiophile quality, they are lacking in high frequency detail separation and massive bass but they offer a decently cohesive sound that is easy to listen to. Being comfy to wear is also achieve with the strap and adjustability. Ideally I would give 4 1/2 stars but there is nothing to complain about for the money.

I do like a good set of headphones! And this is a *very* good set of headphones - especially at this price. Before purchasing I read several reviews and for the budget that I had in mind, these were simply the best option. The headphones are light to wear and comfortable. The ear cups fit over my lugs quite happily and there is no uncomfortable pressure build-up, even after prolonged wearing. The 'phones fit securely but I do not think that they are suitable for gym use. Build quality seems very good to me. The cable is quite long (a little over 2m) though I have extended it with an extension for my own situation. The 'phones come with a 1/4 inch jack but this can be unscrewed to fit a 3.2mm socket. Sound reproduction is (to my ears) superb. Bass sounds, 'bassy' but not muffled and mid to high ranges are also clear. The headphones sound louder to me than they actually are (which makes no sense) but this means that most music genres will sound really good without cranking-up the volume and making the 'phones work to their maximum; more technically, I think that there is little distortion in playback. The stereo effect is good (i.e. wide) even without enhancement from my amplifier. In short - these 'phones are a very good piece of hardware at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

耳が痛くならないヘッドフォンが欲しくて購入しました。快適な装着感で音質も良く、長く使えそうです。

Bu benim ilk referans kulaklığım. Diğer kulaklıklara nazaran inanılmaz farklı. Sesleri olduğu gibi veriyor, şarkıdaki track panninglerin hepsini rahatlıkla algılayabiliyorum. Bence fiyatına değer bir kulaklık. Rahatlık konusunda da oldukça rahat, kulağı tamamen kaplayan bir yapısı var. Dışarıya ses oldukça az veriyor. Muhtemelen kulaklık pedleri zamanla dökülmeye başlayacak fakat internette uygun fiyata bu kulaklığa uygun pedler var. Bu yüzden sorun yaşamam gibi görünüyor. Güncelleme: zamanla kulaklığın bas frekanslar konusunda yetersiz kaldığını fark ettim. Bas ayarı için farklı bir kulaklık kullanıyorum.

Good for digital piano

Le casque AKG K72 est un excellent choix pour le monitoring et l’écoute de tous les jours. La qualité sonore est claire et détaillée, avec des basses précises et des médiums bien équilibrés. Le design fermé permet une bonne isolation, ce qui est idéal pour se concentrer sur la musique ou le mixage. Le casque est confortable même pour de longues sessions grâce aux coussinets doux et à l’arceau ajustable. La construction est solide tout en restant léger, ce qui le rend agréable à porter. Pour son prix, c’est un produit très performant que je recommande vivement aux amateurs de musique et aux professionnels en quête d’un bon casque fermé.

Rien à dire, nickel
