Akg K553 Pro Studio Headphone Price

At this price point, and after having owned 5 studio headphones over a few decades, AKG K240 MKII, K553 MKII, Sony MDR-7506, KOSS PRO 4AA & 4AAA, I have found THE Referred Personal Listening Tool.

Arrived quickly (Sunday FedEx delivery) during Xmas-New Years Holiday week. Co-existing alongside my Audio=technica ATH-M50 for music keyboard use. The Audio-technica is louder, and has always performed satisfactorily. The AKG-K553 MKII is gorgeous with a professional appearance. Clear, pure sound quality. After extensive comparison amongst numerous equivalent brands, I'm quite pleased with my choice of the AKG-K553 MKII. Would buy it again. 5 stars!

I got this to create an adapter for my AKG K191-DJ headphone, so I could plug them into the Kanex AirBlue I also got from B&H. Thus plug is constructed to pro-level quality, not prosumer where they gouge you, but true pro-quality. ( I know because I have done professional AV production.) Making the cable was easy enough: I could have done it but I have a friend more versed in cable construction. So we got AKG's service manual and gutted an old sony cloth wrapped 3.5mm headphone cable for the other end, cut the cable down to a few inches and made it in no time. (3 solder joints, although very tiny, do not take long.) I am planning to buy another one for a Female version to try out other Bluetooth adapters that have a male 3.5mm plug, since we still have the female end of the 3.5mm sony cable. So, yes I would buy it again and recommend to a friend: top notch product!

At this price this is the only pro headphone

This is the 2nd pair of this headphone that I have purchased, and I even have a higher end AKG, but with the price, these can't be beat for quality and price

The AKG K240 Studio Pro Semi-Open Stereo Headphones continue to be widely used in recording studios because of quality build, long lasting performance without degradation of sound quality, detailed sound without an overbearing amount of mid highs, light weight for comfortable long wear time, super comfortable soft, wide headband and large ear pads that won't hurt your ears, a semi open design that allows ambient sound without distraction, and an extra long wire that is uncurled so it doesn't put strain on any audio jacks or connections.

Perfect AKG studio headphones

A really good price and a very good quality for use in studio and in the field. Is the best all terrain headphone.

Purchased these as a second pair of headphone for the studio. They are. good for the price.

Good Studio headphone....
