Thanks for succinct and very helpful review that focuses on practical matters such as the headband, ambient noise levels, overall sound quality, and cost-performance!

plot twist: i am watching with k52s on

The AKG K series are Professional Studio Reference Monitors. They are designed to have a baseline flat response for studio work. In the studio you want to hear the "truth"; not something that has been enhanced by headphones that have the bass and treble pumped and the mids scooped. Get some Beats or similar knock offs if you want to just listen to recorded sounds like music. These incredible headphones can be found in Professional Recording Studios all over the world. Again... These are specialized units. I use mine mostly plugged directly into my guitar amps for private practice/creation. I can't recommend them enough. They are better than some Studio sets costing 3-4 times as much!

Seem good enough. Through some Musician's Friend wizardry I just ordered a air for 20 bucks. I own quite a few pairs of headphones with some costing upwards of 400 bucks but I just wanted something comfortable with a decent soundstage for gaming.

Ok can anyone tell me the difference between k52 and k92 is there any big difference?

I bought a pair for podcasting about a year ago and hated it, i couldn´t hear my voice when talking. Im finally ready to move on to better things and invest in a ATH M50X BT :)

Are these headphones suitable for tracking vocals while listening to the backing track? Do they have sound leakage in this scenario?

i using a k44 type akg headphones for 10 years, so this is good enough, I will buy it

I am between the akg k 52 and the sennheiser hd 206, to listen to music on the way to school and at home and to play video games which you would recommend me

I'm using them with my phone right now, they keep pausing the video and changing the volume, is that normal??

Nice review. It would have been nice if the "better options" referred in the video were listed. I am planning to get these but not am just wondering if there are some other better "unknown" options available in the market :(

I'm going for singing class,would you suggest this?

These compared to the KRK 8400?

Watching this review on my new AKG K52

Are you saying that it's not a good choice for audio mixing?

Do you worry about sweating and the earpads getting ruined? I have mine on almost all day and I sweat profusely. I use mine to listen to music from a Behringer Q802USB/Audio Interface, I run my PC's audio, Galaxy Tab E and guitar amp into it and listen to all the audio through these headphones. They handle bass really well, I can also adjust the EQ's on the mixer so the audio doesn't clip. I've played subwoofer tests on KZfaq and these headphones handle the extreme bass well. Audio levels 1-10, I have the treble at 8.5, Mid Range at 6 and Bass at 8/8.5. I'm very pleased with the sound that's coming through them. I'm very particular with sound, EQ settings and overall sound, I mess with EQ's and these headphones are great. I'm just worried about how much I sweat and the "moisture" corroding & ruining the earpads, besides that, I really like them. I had to get my glasses adjusted, get the arms "straightened" out, once they were adjusted, I felt NO pressure from the headphones on the side of my head from the headphones.

Do they sound better than samson sr850?

Are these “usable” for gaming?

Just ordered some! Got frustrated with a pair of Bose which are great if you listen to music but for recording, I felt my settings were not sounding right! Too much bass going on! Needed something fiat

What Sennheiser headphones do you have that you mention at the start? I need comfortable headphones

Are they better then oneodio?

hello can they be used for voice over

Thanks!

Does it connect to Samsung and iPhone?

hi, nice video, but my budget only gets to the akg k52 or seinheisser hd 206, what would you recomend?

It has 3PIN or 4PIN jack ?

Is there any neck discomfort with this ?

Is k52 good for recording

Thanks Much !

How do you like the design, I quit like design

i have been using these for about 9 months for Playing Guitar With my Amp sound quality is very good they hold up so far very well, and i also have monkey ears and after a few hours they do get a little uncomfortable but nothing that would make me not use them and for the noise cancelling i can deffenitly get murdered wearing these lol, when im jamming in my room looking down at my fretboard to the left on a few occasions ive had someone knock on my room door come in and litteraly i dont notice them till theyre 1-2 feet away and scare the daylights out of me LOL, so overall i mean if u dont wanna spend a arm and a leg and want decent headphones for recording,jamming where you need to hear high,low ends a little more clear then apple or just tun of the mill over ears, id reccomend

Are they good for playing electric guitar?

I have owned a pair of K52 headphone, a Behringer on air, one plus bullet z earphone, Oppo m31 earphone, sony 200i earphone and some more mid range headphones and earphones. I have been with studio recording business for last 30 years. Out of all of my headphones i can say K 52 has given much more good sound stage for listening a song. Bass, mid and highs are very good in k52. But it is not made for mixing songs in studio only for tracking instruments. Oppo m31 has the best sound signature in earphone segment followed by One plus bullet z.

In this budget area would your recommend something else?

I’ve been using K52s for audio rendering for a couple years now with my animations. So far so good, but my only complaint is that the headband’s “tightness” wears down over time (as expected) and basically renders itself as useless. My head’s on the bigger end, so it works fine. But after prolonged use, the metal band thingies kinda dig into your head. I used them for my first year in college, and I wish the cable was changeable as I would have the cable wrapped around my phone and in my pocket which made it bulge like crazy. Uncomfortable. Overall rating: 7/10 for the price. Sound quality: 6 washing machines out of 10 tilapia.

These are monitors, they aren't intended for on the go listening. They supposed to have flat EQ without any enhancement.

this headphones good for video editing and sound editing ??

cool monitor in the back

My first thought to this headphone was like.. The design looks like a marauder car

Wire is connected to only one side. Now the other speaker has no wire connection whatsoever as far as I can see. So does it mean sound emits only from one side which has wire?

Is there any microphone on it?

Is k52 sounds better then ath m40x?

Nice video! This or samson sr85s?

This or Samson SR

Your invitation to feel free to hit 'dislike' convinced me that hitting 'like' is the better option. Subscribed!!!

Is it a good option to buy now @2000/- INR

Please review akg k72 headphones also

JeeZ! They're $15 at guitar center 😮

These are flat frequency monitoring head phones....

Iv never bought cheap.head phones , im.not big on headgear, some reviews say theyre. decent i listened to war of the worlds (usually through q acoustic bookshelf 3020i,s goooood or acoustic energy bronze 600 big lumps of things , biwired . Awesome . Today it was headphones , like cheap cheapo.headphones , how bad can they be theyre akg, my last pair was awesome , these akg 52s sound like im treading mud , with a bucket on my head , ok test over (AVOID LIKE PLAGUED CHICKEN).

Sounds like it would be better to spend $100 and go to the next tier

I just got two pairs for $14.99 each on musicians friends

that saxophone background music is annoying

I am testing a new pair of AKG K52 headphones and I disagree with most of the things you say assuming mine are representative. On low volumes and with acoustic music, the ambience, stereo imaging and sound quality are quite good and pleasant but, at volumes above 50%, the treble is simply awful splashy distorted rubbish. You spend so long initially talking about cosmetic nonsense. AKG and Koss make much better headphones for similar or slightly higher prices.

OK for listening, but definitely not for mixing or recording. I ABed them with Sony MDR7506 and the K52s are not even in the same ballpark as the Sony's which you will find in professional studios all over the world.

I got these today. Sound is shitty and muddy for rock, you can't even distinguish rhythm and lead guitar. For all other music it sounds tunneled and hollow. AirPods and EarPods sound much better than these. My other headphones are some Audio-Technicas which are night and day to these.

u wear glasses that creates pressure on top of ur eats imho

annoying music, left!!! :((
