## Description

AKG K72 Closed Back Studio Over Ear Wired Headphones, Black, Pack of 1 : desertcart.in: Electronics

Review: Value for money. - Nice product. Value for money. Voice clarity is very good.
Review: good buy! - i'm not an audiophile, or someone who makes/produces music, so i didn't buy these with the intent of using them as "studio monitors". i just needed a set of comfortable, over-ear 'phones primarily for home use (not commute) that both look and sound good and don't cost a lot. very casual, regular usage; no professional stuff. and for someone with similar requirements, i would definitely implore them to check these out. i love the design. no complaints wrt the material used. incidentally, i was planning on buying the cheaper k52s because of their all black body, but i decided against it because i prefer the cushioning on this one. the look is great too. these are probably the only pair of headphones that don't make me look crazy. the comfort is decent. lmao i actually forgot that these have no adjustable slider thing and instead have the self-adjusting headband, but either way, it feels okay. the earcups are huge and so would completely engulf anyone's ears. i'm 6', have a relatively large head and ears, so these were actually good for me. none of that sharp pain you get from on-ears. caveat: when you wear these, if your ears are big, especially if they are more "out" (basically, protrude outward from your head in a more noticeable way), then they might touch the inside of the cans, which feels... weird, for sure. it doesn't cause like immense discomfort, but it's still weird and does cause some strain after a while because your ears are literally pressing against the inside of the cup. also, after a while, your ears might feel warm too. not hot, just slightly warm. the cord is, yes, very long. again, not a problem for me because i'm not using these while commuting. and i don't think these are sweatproof, waterproof, foldable, etc., but then again they're not made to be used on public transit 💀 the context of use matters. they're meant for the studio and yeah, since we're all holed up in our houses anyway, they're great for use inside the house too, granted all you do is just listen to music and chill. the sound quality is not remarkable or anything, but it's good enough! you won't find me raving about these for "how amazing they sound", but they do sound very good, especially for the price. no complaints with the sound quality esp. given the price. although, a comparable alternative would be the oneodio headphones that a lot of reviewers really like and i did also consider them, but (personally) their design was too tacky and too close to an on-ear pair which only means one thing for people with big ears: pain. but yeah, none of that "extra bass" bs that i absolutely detest. the music sounds clear and balanced. caveat: i keep reaching for the wire to change the song constantly forgetting that this doesn't have button controls (or even a mic, but hey, can't complain too much) 😭 if you're someone who does want these extra features, check out the oneodio pair for sure. also, the noise cancellation on these is... not good, period. like "i could hear my fan through these when i wasn't playing anything" not good. it's not terrible, but it's just not there, really. and okay, i know there's a whole conversation about studio/monitor headphones not being compatible with regular smartphones involving a lot of technical jargon ("impedance", "impedance matching", etc.), but i don't think you'd have to worry about that stuffl with these. i use these with my redmi note 10 pro to listen to spotify, google podcasts, local music and also to watch videos/movies on youtube, netflix, prime video and i haven't encountered any issues! i believe they'd work just fine with any modern smartphone. in all, these are a great pair and i would say i'm satisfied with my purchase!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: In this mic is inbuilt?, can be usable for moblie**
A: You won’t find built in mics with “headphones”. Look up “headset” for built in mics. Moreover these aren’t designed to be used with your phone. If you’re looking for something more suited to taking calls, look for someone cheaper. You don’t need studio monitors for that.

**Q: Does the headphone have mike ?**
A: The purpose of this studio headphone is to listen to the audio while recording music. It is also used for monitoring  & editing. It does not have a mike built in. It is expected that you use an external condenser/dynamic mike along with it.

**Q: does this headphones have the noise cancellation feature?**
A: No

**Q: Which model available for professional dj**
A: Honestly any studio monitor will get the job done if you’re on a tight budget. But for a dj I’d suggest looking up reference headphones with a flat sound signature.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unparalleled sound quality, it all feels real, great for Music Professionals.
*by N***R on 9 November 2025*

AKG K52 is a great Headphone. Idk about the pricing, but the sound is really good. you will feel as if the things are happening around you in reality, The Cord is quite long, around 1.5-2 meters, i don't know exactly, but long enough. Ear Cups are soft, the clamping force is decent, not a tight one. You can do music Mastering and Mixing with these as the sound quality is Professional Studio level. I am not a sound engineer, but I am a Singer/Multi-Instrumentalist. You can trust my award winning trained ears. That's it. Enjoy the realness with these.
