AKG said the closed-back design features an acoustic chamber, which eliminates audio bleed and preserves privacy. An ergonomic, self-adjusting headband and over-ear design provide comfort during marathon listening sessions.

All three models weigh seven ounces, offsetting the inclusion of large, high-quality drivers. The K52, K72 and K92 models undergo extreme product testing including multiple two-meter drop tests, 80,000 bend cycle test for cables and a rigorous driver stress test.

The headphones’ earpads, often the first component to show signs of wear, are replaceable to maximise value and investment. With a frequency range of 18 Hz – 20 kHz, the K52 is ideal for listeners who demand detailed sound while monitoring, rehearsing or tracking.

The K72 features an extended frequency range of 16Hz – 20kHz. Additionally, the included screw-on ¼-inch plug adapts the same phones to professional gear. A longer three-meter cable provides versatility in pro studio applications.

The K92 leverages the benefits of the K72 while extending the high-frequency performance to 22 kHz. It also adds a gold-plated screw-on adapter plug to reduce the opportunity for oxidation and ensure top performance over time. These enhancements make the K92 the premium model for professional recording and monitoring applications.

“It takes a high degree of innovation and engineering focus to deliver this level of performance at these accessible price points,” said Peter Chaikin of Harman Professional’s Recording Solutions.
