AKG are pro sound specialists. They have spent years making some incredible microphones and headphones for every level of musician. The new K52 headphones are part of a new range focused on project studios and working musicians they may not have all the money in the world to spend on cans but do not want to compromise on quality.
Pro Grade Drivers
This is the core of what makes a good headphone. The driver is the little speaker inside the headphone and defines what it sounds like. at 40mm it is certainly on the larger side for cans at this price range but that means better detail, better clarity and a more accurate representation of what you are listening to.
18Hz-20kHz Frequency Range
The frequency range is what frequencies can be produced by the headphgones and these have a surprisingly large range. From 18Hz which is extremely low, all the way up to 20kHz you will be able to hear every small element of your mix with incredible clarity. This again is thanks to those powerful 40mm drivers that can push a lot of air in a small space.
Closed Back Design
While open back headphones do have their place in the hi-fi and mixing world as they have incredible detail. But they leak noise terribly which is why a closed back design like this is so good for tracking, general listening and any work where you don't want the world to hear what is going through your headphones. Privacy at its best.
No More Adjusting
We have all had that pair of headphones that just never sits right on your head. The band is either too large or two small and never finds that right place that just hugs your head properly. That is why AKG came up with this self adjusting headband that fits itselves to your head instantly. No more adjusting as you change cans between band members.
