AKG K52

AKG K52 CLOSED-BACK

Professional drivers - clear sound in the studio and beyond

Our K52 headphones offer an authoritative, extended low-frequency response that gives definition to drums and bass. At the same time, the detailed yet precisely balanced high-frequency response reveals the nuances of vocals, guitars and acoustic instruments. Our generous 40mm drivers offer 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 wide range of playback devices, from professional studio equipment to portable music players.

Closed-back design - lose yourself in 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 microphone 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 is located between the earcup 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.

Style that fits everyone - comfortable listening

Nailing the perfect grip sometimes means following the same part for hours - and that's where comfort really matters. 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 down over time. The exposed headband design keeps the K52 headphones comfortably lightweight, without compromising driver size. Lightweight, breathable ear cushions surround your ears instead of exerting pressure. And a single-sided cable gives you the freedom to move around. To sum it up, these high-performance headphones sound, feel and look great.

Professional build quality - long life to music

AKG is known for producing professional-grade equipment that stands the test of time, and K52 headphones are no exception. We subject them to extreme testing and abuse to ensure they handle whatever is thrown at them: Our drop test regime simulates exaggerated drops. 80,000 cycles of bending the cable at both endpoints ensure that the cable doesn't break or underperform. And intensive driver testing-a prolonged series of 3W bursts every half second-means the drivers won't break when you really need them to. Because ear cushions are often the first components to show wear and tear, we've made them replaceable to protect your investment over time. With exceptional performance and a sleek design to match, the K52 is built for professionals.

The AKG legacy: a great inspiration for decades

For more than 65 years, AKG has helped create the iconic sounds of some of the world's best-known artists, engineers and record producers.
