I bought the akg k92 for gaming about a year ago as I wanted something high quality with a long cable that I can wear without any discomfort. They are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn and the audio quality is great for the price. I definitely recommend anyone looking for an extraordinarily comfortable set of headphones for gaming to get a set of akg k72/k92 headphones as I personally think they’re great. I also personally think they’re also good when it comes to general use as well. (I wear glasses and so over ear headphones were a must when I was searching for the right ones to prevent my ears from hurting after a while of usage)

K92 Owner here, more than a year using them and I can't say they are comfortable, they get all sweaty after barely 30 minutes of use... My only solution since I use them all day for gaming, watching movies and hearing music all alike...was to put toilet paper over the pads pressure point bellow my ear and replace them once they get all dirty after a week of use or so, no more sweat and adds an extra layer of comfort (soft toilet paper, not the cheap kind). And to fix the head-set touching my ears inside I added toilet paper as well inside the air-pad, all around them to increase the distance to the ear, adds more thickness to the ear-pads and also eliminate humidity by simple air absorption like a dehumidifier would. Another thing is the ear-pad made out of synthetic leather will ware off after 1-3 years of use and I was already prepare for that, I currently had to replace the air-pads a week ago after almost 2 years of heavy use, even bough them on advance after a month of use since I knew is was going to happen and I didn't wanna swap them given how much they can last with some small maintained done to them. The other option is to pill off the broken leather with your finger and you find a second layer of good old soft sheet, it should solve discomfort issues but sound quality will degrade a bit because you lose the perfect seal provide by the plastic leather. Planning on upgrading to ATH-M50x when I can get the money but so far I'm not disappointed with this head-sets regarding quality of the sound despite the fact they do need a small tune using Smart-EQ to boost Bass/tremble a bit to solve some issues when they are brand new, like hearing the plastic noise inside the chamber (less noticeable after a month of use). I also use glasses and the only advice I can give is to adjust the temple tips of your glasses if you find discomfort and try different position around them, but all and all every headset gets better after a week of use, they accommodate to the glasses and if not you should seek to buy new ones with low profile temple tips or find a replace for them since this part of the glasses come in different size and shapes (cheap replacement).

The drivers have flat response, but the closed cup makes them resonate noticebly high around 2khz to 4khz (chi sound) and they have a cup like distorsion (you know, like you have a speaker on top of a cup) to be honest that bothered me way more than the face hugging ear cups.

I immediately miss having that ultra-clarity.

What they do is faithfully reproduce a flat version (not as much bass as you may expect from other such headphones) of anything that goes through them. They will provide a really clean version through either the 3.5mm or 1/4" jack & in my experience they sound the same. Hope that helps.

Great content. I've recently ordered a pair of K52 for guitar tracking purposes. And sometimes to play at night or maybe setting up my guitar tone. I guess I was correct in choosing this, since usage would be limited and wanted to get a budget studio headphone. Also I felt I couldn't utilize more from the lower freq range of 18Hz or less unless its a bass guitar that I'm tracking. What do you think?

@double-sidedcorrugatedfibe75296 ай бұрын
Welp, I've used them for about a week solid now, and I gotta say that they're more than adequate for listening headphones. Cable noise is basically nonexistent for me(I heard that some people had that problem), and the sound is absolutely amazing for me. Now, this is my first pair of "professional" or "Audiophile" grade headphones. So for anyone who is looking to get into this hobby, or just wants a REALLY nice pair for cheap(Got mine for under 30 bucks on sale) I recommend these highly. The comfort of these is absolutely unmatched by anything else I've ever owned. Only thing I can even say is that the ear-cups get a little hot after about 3-4 hours of non-stop use. However, aftermarket vented earcups can fix this issue.

I have these since 2 yrs , here is my review Sound quality - as he explained, yes it have flat responce but some muddyness hard to hear, make me hard to mix high end also. Not comfortable in Indian Summer 50/100 for Comfort, good for winter and rainy. That annoying sound when touching wire is not big issue , not for me atleast. Built quality is okay, i mean luckily i am too careful for my headphones and dont let them drop off table, they have fall many times but dint break, still they feel weak. Fibre on cups get torn after 2 yrs. Suggest you to go better if u have better budget, Many new producer think that close end headphones are always better than open one, but you see many professionals use open end , coz you can work longer on open end headphones, For me Close end ones make my brain go blank. This review is based on my personal experience and revelance so dont stick to my review , but yeah ive dtopped my review what i feel about these.

Hmm interesting I found them to be the opposite so I guess it must be a software issue. I use Audition, OBS and my Rodecaster Pro, all of which run it as a bright headset and none of which are bassy.

Maybe just plug them into your phone and play some music if it still sounds too bassy I'd consider getting a replacement set. Let me know how you go.

The midzones can occasionally sound a but muddy but for voice-only applications this is not a major consideration. Might get a bit lost with multiple instruments in the mid zone. As discussed in the video the muted bass means you will hear a more tinny rhythm and bass section but it will still be clear, arguably better for music production because the lower end is not overpowering the rest.

I'm looking for a good isolating comfy headphone, but I'm not a pro, just want really good quality on music (and some gaming...). Any insights on this?
@ArveyJay4 жыл бұрын
Ok I hear you, it's a bit confusing. So basically the headphones are fine for any application, however their flat tone means that they don't boost any particular part of the audio 'spectrum'. For gaming and music the quality is going to be great BUT those big bass beats and big explosions are not going to sound epic at all as the bass is not amplified by these headphones as their purpose is different. It feels like the bass is kind of 'missing' from the soundscape. Their quality is great, isolation is solid, but a general listener might want to hear more of the bass, which is missing/toned down in these. Does that clear it up? You'll still hear it just not as much as you might want. :)
