AKG K72 Closed Back Studio Over Ear Wired Headphones, Black, Pack of 1

Best quality easy connectivity Cover your whole ear so comfortably access to noise cancellation real time monitoring and clearity and product quality is good and flexible durability

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!

Very high clarity headphones with very comfortable structure. The double RIM makes it fit my head without prior adjustment. The audio is the best part, due to flat excursion, the audio reproduction of this headphones is excellent. Note on wire: the wire has a male port you must unscrew before you are able to use its 3.0 mm jack. The product looks durable as well. HIghly recommend an AKG headphones.

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.

Reviewing after more than a year of use: (5 stars for sound / 4 stars for build quality) AKG is an Austrian company, now owned by Harman International of the famous harman/kardon brand of hi-fi equipment and JBL. If you're looking for a good pair of budget headphones for an Immersive listening experience, the K92 is perfect. They may not be the best looking ones, but the metal frame makes them quite sturdy, while most expensive brands are made completely of plastic. I bought these headphones purely for listening to music via my computer. The ear cups of my previous (decent) AKG K52s had become scruffy so I wanted to change and after scouting several hi-fi audio websites, decided to upgrade to the K92 which had good recommendations as opposed to the K72. The headphones deliver crisp, clear sound with no or minimal distortion (depending on your audio source or file). They have have a good audio frequency bandwidth (16 - 22000 Hz) which provides a wide dynamic range which means you get bold bass and clear treble. The low impedence of 32 ohms means that the headphones can be driven easily at low volume by a computer sound card without the need for an additional amplifier. A 40 mm driver delivers good bass which is not too punchy, but just right since these are studio monitoring headphones. On the downside, I am already noticing slight wear on the earcups (which I believe are replaceable). Overall, for the price, the AKG 92 is a steal. If you're into classical music, jazz, easy or popular music, I'd recommend these highly. Go for them without a doubt. Pros: * 40 mm driver delivers good low bass frequencies (not too punchy) * Low impedence (32 ohms) gives clear sound at low volume * Audio frequency bandwidth: 16 - 22000 Hz gives bold bass, good midtone and clear treble (very good for the price) * Earcups fit well (tightly) over the ears providing passive noise cancelling (not active) * Very enjoyable for classical music, jazz, popular and general listening * Fairly decent build quality (metal frame as opposed to full plastic) Cons: * Earcups degrade after a year of use * As with any over ear headphones, your ears become hot after prolonged use (should not be a problem in cold weather or an air-conditioned environment) * None otherwise

Not enough good. It is better with dac or audio interface otherwise you face so many problems like low volume sound etc. btw product is amazing as music producer.

Crystal clear sound. Best for the beginer music producer, best for mixing and mastering. You may feel some less in the punchy bass side but thats perfect because the overall sound signature is at the top what one should consider before buying those. Reliable truely, a harman brand.

So, here's some context before you read this... I am not an audio engineer or a seasoned audiophile by any means. That word gets thrown around a lot these days. I own a pair of Airpods Pro and needed a pair of secondary headsets for the following reasons. If you only want to know what they sound like, I've written about it at the end. 1. Comfort: I needed something light weight and over-ear since the Airpods can start causing discomfort to your ears if you use them over prolonged periods of time. The AKG K52's are amazing at this. You'll pretty much forget that you have them on. One thing to remember here is that if you're in a hot environment, you could sweat around where the ear pads are. Overall, my ears are thanking me for this decision. 2. Lossless Audio: If you own Bluetooth earphones like the Airpods/Airpods Pro/any Bluetooth headset, you'd be aware that it doesn't support lossless audio on Apple Music. If you'd really like to take a crack at that, these are some of the cheapest headsets with 40mm drivers. Your next best options are by Audio Technica but they cost significantly more. Since I was only looking for a secondary pair, this was a good middle ground. 3. Not worry about batteries: Owning bluetooth headsets can be agonising if you wanna listen for long hours. Especially since in between I'm just watching random YouTube videos. So, I decided to pick up these wired ones. How do they sound? A: Well, they sound great but this largely depends on your taste in music. They have a very neutral sound profile. If I had to point out the biggest difference between Airpod Pro's and these is 'Immersion'. These definitely don't feel as immersive as more expensive headsets but that would be unfair to expect at the price. I'm not saying they're "good for the price", they're just good in general. But don't expect a thumping bass or exaggerated sound profiles, it's not meant for that. I'd recommend other headsets for those. If you're into Low-fi Hip Hop, Chill mellow music, Jazz, Acoustic music etc. these are insanely good. Great for podcasts as well. But if you're someone who loves to blow the music out at full volume and enjoy some good deep bass / loud Bollywood (I do too from time to time), these aren't the headsets for it. It can be slightly uncomfortable to listen to these at 100% volume for long hours. They're best at 50% so you can relax and work while you're listening to music. Hope that's as detailed as possible for you to make your decision. :)
