## 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: Value for money - Best quality easy connectivity Cover your whole ear so comfortably access to noise cancellation real time monitoring and clearity and product quality is good and flexible durability
Review: Excellent budget headphones from AKG - Its a very high quality product. Pros: Sound quality is excellent at this price. I am not an audio expert but I listen to audio of various kinds: rock, metal, jazz, kannada songs, youtube videos, podcasts, docus etc. There are no issues whatsover. Vocal quality as well as drums and guitars sound excellent. The headsets are comfortable for long use (Note: I dont wear specs). Cons: The only con for is the poor mic. You have to speak slightly louder than usual to get your voice out. So if you are very very particular about voice and mic then it may not be for you But for my use, I am thoroughly enjoying it.

## 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.
