K72 Closed High Performance Monitoring Studio Headphones Wired Lightweight Design 3.5mm and 1/4" Adapter 3m Cable - Black & Silver

MY GOD!!! I have just received my headphones! I have been putting them through there initial paces straight from the box, after just 30 mins I have had to come here to let you know my experience so far!!! I researched my buy for a long long time before I bought these, and yes this was based upon hours and hours of study and looking at amazing reviews, this however would not cloud in anyway my opinion on the product that landed with me about an hour ago. I have over the years owned very very good sennheiser headphones and I am a fan of BOTH totally flat and equalized music and sound !!! Right this is the track I chose to first test this set of headphones....Jean-Michel Jarre, Vince Clarke - Automatic, Pt. 1 Okay so first things first un equalized sound. These headphones are 100% flat, in the very best way that headphones can be!!! The sound reproduction with no equalisation is simply BREATHTAKING!!! every detail you can imagine (and some you couldn't have!) from the very lows through the mids and very highs is there......... without exception!!!!! Remember that this unequalised sound is EXACTLY the way it was mastered and produced in the studio!!!!! (this unequalised sound may come as a disappointment to some that are used to either or both bass or treble heavy headphones or speakers however to (for me anyway!) was an absolute joy to hear, this set of headphones reproduce this sound so faithfully, smoothly and with such depth right across the sound spectrum !!! Right now for the best bit (for me)as a reference my previous headphones for bass heavy was Sony MDRXB450AP (I cannot sing the praise of these enough for those wanting a clear base heavy quality sound with NO equalisation !!!) However......NOTHING could have prepared my ears for the sound reproduces on the AKG K92s WITH equalisation........OMG!!! My sound card allows me to equalise from 33-16k in 10 steps I pumped up the lows and the highs and took out the middle in a wave form that I like and really suits my ears....OMG all I can say is BEYOND !!!!! I know this track inside and out..every detail...well I thought I did till I heard it through theses headphones (that goes for the unequalised setting too!!!) Sound is such a joy when it is quality sound, sorry for going on but I really wanted to share my very early experience of the AKG92....... I'm back, to annoy you some more...this is after 20 plus hours of use and testing I really do think that these headphone should be taken of the market as soon as is possible, the chances of them gracing the ears of some sound quality unappreciative person is just too high ! ! ! Unfortunately I can see that this has already taken place from some of the reviews I have read on here! Allow me to take about a few things other than the sound quality, which I would like to come back to. The build quality and comfort on these headphones is amazing !!! Firstly comfort....at fist I was a little sceptical about the self adjusting strap, I can tell you that it is engineered and manufactured in the most ingenious way, it fits perfectly every time, you never need to make any adjustment at all, its done and perfectly overtime by this engineering masterpiece. Further more, once you have placed it on your head and the adjustment is automatically made, there is no sense of it been there at all! this brings me to the next point, overall comfort. The weight of these headphones defies all logic, the earphones have a tilt mechanism that rotated a full 360 degrees, so they are always placed perfectly over the ears. The combination of all these factors is that after about an hour of wearing them, you completely forget that you are even wearing headphones at all ! The ear pads are amazing, very very comfortable but unlike many other headphones with the foam etc which dose not look longer term durable these are solid yet manage to achieve to ne totally 100% comfortable, this design I am sure also helps with the excellent sound isolation of these headphones combined with them been closed bake design. I'm starting to think that AKG have recovered some alien technology, the two very thin bars that stretch all the way over from each side, are VERY strong metal of some kind, further more, you will notice that the sound signal and power comes in on one side.....I have looked at them for ages tying to work out HOW AKG have managed to get the signal and power across to the other speaker!!! and have come to the conclusion that is either AKG wizardry or like I said before some kind of alien technology. Let me put it this way, I have studied the deign in detail to try and work this out, the signal and power HAS to be transported THOUGH theses two off gold bars at he top and down the sides however the bars are so thin I cannot get my head around how they could get the wire for this INSIDE the cable, it would be impossible because it is so thin, the only other way I can see them achieving this is by using the WHOLE of these two metal (or whatever else they are) bars, if this is the case then the power and the signal ate been transported with no isolation, but straight through the two totally exposed bars....,wither way, or rather whatever way AKG have managed to do this (which baffles me every time I pick them up) it is engineering and design excellence of the very highest order!!! Right...back to the sound, please remember as I said before these headphones are totally 100% flat (in the best possible way!) if you want a heavy bass set of headphones with no equalisation jog on. However like I said before I like both flat and equalised sound. I LOVE having the option too choose EITHER depending on the music or my mood at the time, here's the REALLY amazing thing about these headphone...they will do BOTH!! An example ( I love all styles of music by the way!) This piece... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNU-XAZjhzA with a totally flat unequalised setting, is just exquisite !!! No I mean REALLY amazing. The best way I can describe the quality of these headphones, is to say what ever piece you listen to however demanding it is, its as if you have headphones on that have millions of driver in them, each one specifically putting out its own individual frequency right across the full sound spectrum. The result of this, is the sound never becomes muddled or confused at all even when driving a very bass heavy track. An example of this is one of my go to tracks to test for very very deep and loud bass response...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4o-HoICS08&index=3&list=PL757B4703775657B2 from 4:10 to 4:50 in this track, I have NEVER heard a single set of speakers or headphones cope with the volume and depth of this bass.......UNTILL NOW !!! My AKG K92s were able to take this track and deliver a 100% unflawed delivery to my total amazement and astonishment, for the record this was AFTER I had equalised the sound to the very highest bass level my graphic would allow, to say I'm impressed would be an understatement, after waiting for over 30 years I am now able to hear this track as it was intended with no distortion! Personally (and I know this is not for everyone wanting heavy bass out of the box!) I LOVE been able to CHOOSE myself if I want to hear something totally flat as it was recorded, OR whether to indulge myself in a sumptuous wall of bass and sparklingly enhanced high notes. If you have access to an inbuilt graphic equaliser on whatever devise you are listening on, you will have unfettered access to both of these world with these headphones! To sum up.... Sound quality INCREDIBLE (both unequalised and equalised!!!) Build quality SECOND TO NONE Comfort AMAZING Oh by the way....they take "will.i.am - Scream & Shout ft. Britney Spears" chews it up and asks for more ! ! ! (With a heavy bass leaning equalisation) Since my review I took it up another notch..... I'm now running them through a Marantz amp and a Kenwood duel 9 band graphic equaliser.....the sound is just unbelievable with my preferred graphic setting..... The amazing thing about these studio headphones is the bass is VERY flat without equalisation but I just cannot believe how much depth and punch they drive out after equalisation .....it is quite literally head and body shaking ! ! ! Worth every penny I spent on them !!! There are a joy to pick up and just put on every day!!!

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.

I'm suitably impressed with these headphones. I bought them for mixing my podcast on a reccomendation. I used to use a very bass heavy, poor quality pair of headphones and always had to overcompensate in my mixing so it was all guess work. Using these I was able to almost instantly improve my mix and it was significantly easier. For the price they really must be hard to beat. I used to own a pair of grado that cost an embarrasing amount and whilst they were good, I prefer these for mixing. Same goes for just about every other pair of standard headphones I've used to try to mix with. They give you a very honest sound and I think especially for podcasts which aren't overly demanding in complexity of the mix, I think they're hard to beat for the price. The actual construction does feel a tiny bit cheap, though they look very good, but there's a lot of plastic and the lack of a removable cable is a shame, but they're small gripes and in a sense, it's good that the cost appears to have all gone into the sound, which is the important thing at the end of the day. Thebcable isnalsonvery long, which givesnyou a lot of freedom to move about and doesn't tie you down on the spot. They're very comfortable to wear and the over ear vibe doesn't cause any pain or annoyance after prolonged periods. Your ears do get quite warm but they don't give you a sweaty head which I've suffered before with other headphones. Overall I have to say I'm really impressed and think they were a great buy, absolutely worth the low price when compared to other studio phones. I docked them a star for not being able to switch out the cable and for being almost entirely plastic, but that almost feels harsh. Great value, great headphones.

AKG k92 Unos auriculares precio/calidad imbatible, económicos y cerrados. Tenemos delante unos auriculares a un rango precio/calidad inmejorable, ademas del diseño, y de los acabados, ahora mismo se pueden conseguir entre los 30-40 euros. En este rango de precios son a mi modo personal una compra mas que acertada no son los mejores reproduciendo las frecuencias bajas, lo que puedo observar es que en las voces si que consiguen una separación importante y se puede observar que la imagen en cuanto a cantante delante y instrumentos detrás si que lo consigue. La separación entre artista e instrumentos es mas que aceptable dando una imagen mas que aceptable en estéreo.En los agudos las guitarras eléctricas y las voces se oyen nítidas, es en los bajos y baterías donde se pierde nitidez. Por otro lado utilizando cualquier ecualizador gratuito por software, y con amplificacion se consigue un sonido de auriculares de bastante mas dinero; totalmente recomendable usar equalizador. Es un diseño cómodo y atemporal que AKG lleva haciendo desde que inicio su andadura en la industria musical, los pads que te dan no son las mas cómodos pero suficientes, algo duros aunque suficientes con un poco de uso se ablandan, calientan un poco las orejas. cambiándolos por unos de mayor calidad ofrecerá un auricular por unos 50 euros que no va a ofrecerte ninguna otra marca. Son perfectos para musica electronica, para sonidos sintéticos no teniendo un bajo tan orgánico como por ejemplo bandas de los años 70, 60, son perfectos para usarlos en ver youtube, TV, Netflix, Gaming etc… En cuanto a el uso con smartphones; con un s7Edge no me sonaba por el auricular derecho era alguna incompatibilidad con el micrófono del teléfono, para evitar esto aconsejo comprar un adaptador bluetooth que tenga aptX ej MPOW donde no hay perdida de calidad y se puede usar para muchos usos por ejemplo para convertir cualquier auricular en bluetooth. En cuanto al aislamiento, tampoco son excelentes siendo un auricular cerrado, aislan bien pero no completamente esto también es mas cómodo porque puedes estar alerta de tu alrededor pero no completamente aislado no recomendable para entornos muy ruidosos, si recomendado por ejemplo para radio, podcast etc…tambien si si te quieres concentrar en algo siendo consciente de los ruidos mas altos dentro de casa oficina o donde estes. Depende mucho del uso que le vais a dar y la experiencia que tengáis con auriculares etc… en mi caso personal, los quiero para escuchar radio , podcast, TV, y algo de musica y con esto es mas que suficiente.Aunque me ha sorprendido mucho lo que ganan con amplificación, y una buena equalización todo esto depende mucho de las grabaciones que escuchas en mi caso personal lo escuche con un DAC amplificador y equalizacion con SONARWORKS. En este rango de precios no encuentras productos que sean de mucha calidad, encuentras productos como por ejemplo los senheiser hd201 los tengo y no me gustan, los Samson sr850, o los Superlux HD668B, pero estos últimos pecando de que son semi-abiertos (se escuchan mucho los ruidos externos y se oye lo que escuchas) y no son cerrados que en mi caso es lo que quería.

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

I've been a long-time AKG fan, I've owned all sorts of headphones throughout the years but the K77's I bought about 10 years ago have exceeded my expectations for the price point that I've looked no further since. Unfortunately, one of the drivers stopped working eventually (or could be the cable, which can't be replaced). Immediately, I went to look for a newer AKG offer and the K120 seemed to be the best choice. Unfortunately, those cans sounded flat and blocked none of the ambient sound. Fortunately, these K72s were the other "Amazon's choice" and I absolutely love them. Supremely lightweight and comfortable, for a guy with large ears I can wear them on extended basis with no issues at all, very large cup. And the stretchable band has been improved significantly. Long cable for comfortable movement. The sound profile on these is fantastic. It is not the flat reference sound of the K120, these have a punch on both the bass and highs and respond excellently to EQ adjustments. They can be used for enjoying music just as much as producing it. Also the low resistance means I can turn the volume down to 25-30% on my PC and it would get as loud as standard reference cans at 80%. Build quality looks solid, despite it being all plastic. They're very flexible (and of course as mentioned comfortable). If you didn't know, one might assume they're worth $500 based on the sleek design. Absolutely love these, you can't go wrong, and here's to another 10 years.

Encantado con los audífonos. La mejor relación calidad-precio que podrás encontrar. El sonido plano es perfecto para monitorear tus producciones, no amplifica de manera exagerada ninguna frecuencia. Su diseño es muy cómodo, puedes traerlos puestos varias horas y te olvidas de que los estás usando. Si lo que quieres es ver películas o jugar videojuegos tal vez estés buscando otra cosa, pero aún así te los recomiendo. No los cambio por nada, esta es mi segunda compra de estos audífonos, incluso más barata que la primera. El cable es suficientemente largo como para pararte y caminar un poco. Si tienes espacio en tu oficina o en tu mini estudio de grabación agradecerás la longitud del cable. El adaptador con rosca del conector es genial, te garantiza que no se saldrá de tu consola. Y también funciona muy bien sin adaptador. De lujo
