Review: Best Buy Under Β£50 - These headphones are terrific value. Their solid build means they are going to last – AKG bent the cable 80,000 times during production just to test longevity. The generous padding is nice and comfy, while the 3m cable provides enough play for listening comfortably at home. This is a classic studio headphone design, and while you could just about get away with wearing these out on the street, the long cable demonstrates that they're not made specifically for that purpose. The sound is pleasingly expansive, with a breadth and scale rarely found in the kind of headphones you'd normally see on the high street at this sort of price. They certainly come across as smooth, not to mention the controlled bass. The midrange isn't quite as clean as you would like, but for the money, these are amongst the best over-ear headphones if affordability is a factor. Review: Needs to be EQ'd - TL/DR Good for the price, need to be EQ'd & if you aren't on a budget I'd look elsewhere. I've been using these headphones for music production, music listening and a bit of "competitive gaming". Initial impressions were poor and I definitely recommend you EQ these headphones to either your own preference or if you want them to be completely flat for those of you who like to mix and master music, as these have neither a good flat frequency response curve nor a good out of box sound profile. The headphones have a nice long cable (Read paragraph 3) & they feel a bit cheap but not fragile. Once these headphones are EQ'd they sound above and beyond for the price, for music production and mixing they have pretty good overall clarity & for gaming they are quite the treat to use too owing to the fact that the left & right "stereo" sound is very very nicely defined and can sometimes give you a bit of an advantage. There is a small but noticeable at times amount of cable noise (noise that reverberates through the cable into the ear cups themselves), for it to be noticeable though you have to be quite rough with the cable or be fidgeting with it. For those on a low budget they are a bit above acceptable I'd say, but if you have a bit of a bigger budget behind you I'd definitely look elsewhere. ## Features - Large Professional 40mm drivers with a 16Hz - 20kHz frequency response reveal every nuance delivering exceptional detail - Mix with confidence thanks to a neutral sound signature and accurate sound reproduction, 32 Ohms, 112 dB SPL/V - Self-adjusting headband and a lightweight design provide exceptional comfort and stylish looks - Excellent isolation with a closed-back design and large circumaural ear cups for a great soundscape - Includes 3. 5mm to 1/4'' screw on adapter and 3m cable ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01AYSNHVQ | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Recording | | Audio Driver Size | 40 Millimetres | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | 332 in Headphones & Earphones | | Box Contents | 1x Headphones | | Brand | AKG | | Brand Name | AKG | | Cable Features | Detachable | | Carrying Case Material | Plastic | | Colour | black | | Compatible Devices | Any device with 3. | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Touch Control | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 4,575 Reviews | | Ear placement | Over Ear | | Earpiece Shape | rounded | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | External Testing Certification | CE | | Form factor | Over Ear | | Frequency Range | 16Hz - 20kHz | | Frequency Response | 16 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885038038788 | | Headphone Form Factor | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Impedance | 32 Ohms | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Type Name | Closed-back Headphones | | Item Weight | 1.16 Pounds | | Manufacturer | AKG | | Model Name | K72 | | Model Number | K72 | | Network Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Noise Control | Passive Noise Cancellation | | Noise control | Passive Noise Cancellation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Lightweight | | Product Warranty | 2 years. | | Sensitivity | 112 dB | | Series Number | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Music | | Style Name | K72 Closed Back | | Theme | Professional Sound | | UPC | 750408396402 885038038788 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology Type | Hochfrequenz | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AKG - **Colour:** black - **Ear placement:** Over Ear - **Form factor:** Over Ear - **Frequency response:** 16 Hz - **Headphone jack:** 3.5 mm Jack - **Impedance:** 32 Ohms - **Model name:** K72 - **Noise control:** Passive Noise Cancellation - **Sensitivity:** 112 dB ## Images ![AKG K72 High Performance Closed-Back Over Ear Monitoring Headphones - Professional Drivers, Lightweight Design, 2.5m Cable, Self-Adjusting Headband- For Recording, Monitoring, Mixing and more - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FLGNpk4pL.jpg) ![AKG K72 High Performance Closed-Back Over Ear Monitoring Headphones - Professional Drivers, Lightweight Design, 2.5m Cable, Self-Adjusting Headband- For Recording, Monitoring, Mixing and more - Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Jv629av+L.jpg) ![AKG K72 High Performance Closed-Back Over Ear Monitoring Headphones - Professional Drivers, Lightweight Design, 2.5m Cable, Self-Adjusting Headband- For Recording, Monitoring, Mixing and more - Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714NYWv1AIL.jpg) ![AKG K72 High Performance Closed-Back Over Ear Monitoring Headphones - Professional Drivers, Lightweight Design, 2.5m Cable, Self-Adjusting Headband- For Recording, Monitoring, Mixing and more - Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fYJBC+2-L.jpg) ![AKG K72 High Performance Closed-Back Over Ear Monitoring Headphones - Professional Drivers, Lightweight Design, 2.5m Cable, Self-Adjusting Headband- For Recording, Monitoring, Mixing and more - Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Dl-NbTDFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do theee block any external noise....aka noisy git neighbours. ..? Thnx** A: I had noisy neighbours, untill I bought these. I wore them as I 'took care of my noise problem' and as they drowned out all but the worst screams and protestations throughout I feel they really helped. I now have no neighboirs, as I'm in solitary on the east wing, but these bad boys still keep me company, so yes, they're great. **Q: Do ears get hot while wearing them?** A: I found that my ears are a bit sweaty after removing them after wearing a little while . **Q: Do they have a good low frequency response? I want some headphones to mix low and high frequencies with no problem. Let me know** A: Hi, I find them very good, the human hearing range for the majority of people is 20 > 20000 Hz. the AKG K92 range is 16 > 20000 Hz. I listened to many different makes prior to buying the AKG K92, to me some of the Β£500 models did not sound as good, a few sounded slightly different, but no better, what I can say, is that for the money, the AKG K92 were the best value for the money. They feel well made, have a very long cable and look okay, I would recommend them to anyone, especially at Β£38.Good luck with whatever you choose. **Q: is the jack straight or L shaped?** A: It is a straight jack. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Buy Under Β£50 *by S***E on 3 October 2024* These headphones are terrific value.
