## Description

From the manufacturer AKG K52 CLOSED-BACK STUDIO HEADPHONES Style, comfort, quality Your music rocks - make sure you hear every detail with the AKG K52 over-ear, closed back headphones. Professional-grade 40mm drivers reveal even the subtlest nuances, so you can be confident your mix will translate accurately on any system. Whether you’re monitoring vocals or tracking a bass line, the self-adjusting headband and lightweight design will provide hours of comfort. Designed by the company whose mics and headphones have helped create some of the world’s most iconic recordings, the durable K52 headphones deliver great sound wherever your music takes you. Highlights Professional 40mm Drivers Lightweight Design and Self-Adjusting Headband Professional Build Quality Flexibility Professional drivers - clear sound in the studio and beyond Our K52 headphones deliver authoritative, extended low-frequency response that gives definition to kick drums and bass guitars. At the same time, the detail yet precisely balanced high-frequency response reveals the nuance in vocals, guitars and acoustic instruments. Our generous 40mm drivers deliver high sensitivity for powerful output, plus an extended frequency response that reveals every detail. The K52s also feature a low-impedance design for compatibility with a broad range of playback devices, from professional studio gear to portable music players. Closed-back design - get lost in your sound The K52 headphones’ closed-back design eliminates audio leakage and delivers sound to your ears only. You won’t hear the drummer drop his sticks in the middle of tracking - and the mic won’t pick up the sound of the click track in your headphones. This exceptional level of audio isolation is due to a new acoustic chamber, which sits between the ear cup and the hinge that connects to the headband. Our innovative design gives you the freedom to move your head in any direction, without letting sound in or out. With the K52, you’ll enjoy a private workspace, no matter where you choose to create. The style that fits all - comfortable listening Nailing the perfect take sometimes means tracking the same part for hours - and that’s where comfort really counts. We designed our unique self-adjusting headband to automatically create the perfect fit for every band member. No need to mess with delicate sizing mechanisms, which have the potential to break over time. The exposed headband design keeps the K52 headphones comfortably light, without compromising driver size. Breathable, lightweight ear pads encircle your ears, rather than putting pressure on them. And a single-sided cable gives you freedom to move. To sum it up, these high-performance headphones sound, feel and look great. Professional build quality - long live the music The AKG legacy - inspiring greatness for decades Precisely balanced response

Review: Amazing but it's not for everyone - 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. :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: In this mic is inbuilt?, can be usable for moblie**
A: You won’t find built in mics with “headphones”. Look up “headset” for built in mics. Moreover these aren’t designed to be used with your phone. If you’re looking for something more suited to taking calls, look for someone cheaper. You don’t need studio monitors for that.

**Q: Does the headphone have mike ?**
A: The purpose of this studio headphone is to listen to the audio while recording music. It is also used for monitoring  & editing. It does not have a mike built in. It is expected that you use an external condenser/dynamic mike along with it.

**Q: does this headphones have the noise cancellation feature?**
A: No

**Q: Which model available for professional dj**
A: Honestly any studio monitor will get the job done if you’re on a tight budget. But for a dj I’d suggest looking up reference headphones with a flat sound signature.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unparalleled sound quality, it all feels real, great for Music Professionals.
*by N***R on 9 November 2025*

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.
