AKG K52 Closed Back Wired Headphones,Over Ear Wired,Black

sound way better than their price, luxurious sound, with authority and finesse not expected at this price range. superb build! surprising comfort, these are designed for 3-4 hour listening sessions. yes the cushion can be replaced with better alternative, but they just work alright, I am Sardar, so i use them over the turban, so the cushion is perfect for my use (SARDARO parne naal bht vdia use kar hunde a ehe). Go for the K52, it has the best sound, the K72 and K92 are on the brighter side, the K52 have the most balanced tuning.

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!

The AKG K72 headphones offer a comfortable and lightweight design suitable for extended listening sessions. The large earcups and self-adjusting headband contribute to a pleasant fit. While the build quality is primarily plastic, it feels reasonably durable for the price with a balanced frequency response suitable for general listening and some monitoring tasks. Highs are clear, and the bass is present without being overpowering and offers some noise isolation too.Overall I'm more than satisfied with the product and its performance.

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

After almost a year, it's a really comfortable headphones, clear on every details, there is no boosted bass of any kind just simple good quality audio. Has a long wire, the cushions are nice and doesn't cause any discomfort in wearing longer hours.

not good enough buy at20x instead of this headphone for mixing and mastering.. overall sound is DECENT, means you'll not get 100% true sound.
