KEY MESSAGES

LEGENDARY AKG SONIC PERFORMANCE
Building on a 70-year legacy of continual design innovation, AKG delivers unmatched sound quality and comfort. The K553 MkII represents the culmination of decades of refinement-from the transducers to the fit and finish.

CLOSED-BACK DESIGN, OPEN-BACK SOUND QUALITY
The K553 MkII was designed to provide the best of both worlds: a closedback design to provide noise isolation with an open and detailed soundstage normally attributed only to open-back headphone designs.

STUDIO SOUND ON THE GO
With a foldable design, the K553 MkII can be easily transported. The design minimizes the exposure to damage that comes with the demanding mobile lifestyles of musicians, producers, and audio engineers.

FULL, DETAILED SOUND
When you're serious about your music, you're looking for more than thumping bass in your headphones, you need nuanced low frequencies. The K553 MkII offers 50 mm transducers to create greater low-frequency extension and detailed bass reproduction, making it easier to hear the program material as intended.

BUILT TO LAST
After decades of the strictest product standards and most rigorous of testing regimens, quality has become synonymous with the AKG name-and these headphones are no exception. From intensive driver stress tests, to an 80,000 bend cycle for cables-even an exaggerated drop test-we put our headphone designs through the gauntlet so you can count on them for years to come. Additionally, the cable and ear pads are replaceable, further extending the life of your investment.

Professional Drivers
Clear Sound in the Studio and Beyond

Did your recording sound great in the studio but you regret playing it for your friends in the car? If so, you need an accurate monitoring solution to expose problems right away. Our K92 headphones deliver authoritative, extended low-frequency response that gives definition to kick drums and bass guitars. At the same time, the detailed yet precisely balanced high-frequency response reveals the nuance in vocals, guitars and acoustic instruments. The K92 headphones confirm your critical creative decisions, so you know when your track's ready for prime time.

Wondering how it's possible to get such great sound from affordable headphones? When it comes to audio quality, driver size and weight are critical, especially in the lower frequencies. The K92's generous 40mm drivers deliver the highest sensitivity and widest frequency response of the K52 and K72 - resulting in powerful output that reveals every detail. The K92s also feature a low-impedance design for compatibility with a broad range of playback devices, from professional studio gear to portable music players. Our engineers leveraged their extensive expertise to optimize every single component-delivering a great set of headphones without compromise.

Closed-Back Design
Get Lost in Your Sound

Whether you're tracking, mixing or mastering, you need to focus to perform at your best. The K92 headphones' closed-back design eliminates audio leakage and delivers sound to your ears only. The mic won't pick up the sound of the click track in your headphones - and you'll always be able to mix and master peacefully without being distracted by outside noise.

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 K92, you'll enjoy a private workspace, no matter where you choose to create.
