AKG Pro Audio K275 Over-Ear, Closed-Back, Lightweight, Foldable Studio Headphones, Black

The AKG K245 is worth the price. The sound is neutral with nice and even lows. The sensitivity allows you to drive these while plugged into a laptop or smartphone. But it’s perfect as a studio headphones also. It’s a closed back headphone so it has a generally smaller soundstage. Isolation is average. The original pads give a weird sealing effect which i dont like so I switched the pads for a less padded pleather which gives more space around the ear and fixed the problem. I was going to return them because i also have an AKG K702 which sounds incredible but is a different animal and requires a headphone amp. I ended up keeping these because they fold up, theyre made sturdier, and more versatile (do not require a headphone amp).

EXCELLENT, lush pro studio headphones, better sound than headphones selling at three times the price. Deep, rich, full sound. Not too bassy, clear mids & highs, excellent sound clarity for keyboards, mixing, etc. Dub mixes & roots rockers sound great, synths sound wonderful. Recommended for home studio & privacy, especially if subject to background noise or traffic – AKG’s closed back system is solid. Great bargain at any price. Just wish these AKG cans had bigger earpads for us Dumbo types – it’s a pretty tight fit. Buy thick comfy velvet pads for them, and take frequent breaks. Addendum: A second pair I got at discount from a “Sweet” online music store were loose & stretchy with poor fit right out of the sealed box, so I returned them. They simply wouldn’t stay on my head and kept sliding down off my ears. AKG’s usually snug headband system didn’t keep them on. Quality control, AKG? So you may have to try a few pairs to get a perfect personal fit. Love AKGs and I’d buy these again if they fit right!

Overall I like these headphones and I'm probably going to keep them, but do keep in mind I'm writing this review the day of getting them so I cannot speak on long term usage and durability. Im also not a super hardcore audiophile, but I am a musician and beat producer who has tried lots of headphones in the 50-150$ price range. And I know a good set when I hear it. So here is my review Sound -note that I did not do any sort of burn in process with these besides listening to YouTube music for a few hours on medium volume BASS- These are not bass boosted headphones and they aren't meant to be, I'd say the bass is satisfying to my purpose which is making beats. It is clean and very detailed, it might not be Sennheisers 300$ kind of detail but for this price I think it's great. I can hear the actual bass notes change in the song . It's not super loud and it doesn't necessarily"thump" but it is good. and even for casual listening I found myself head bopping. But like I said it's not loud or bloated at all. Overall, I like it and I think it will be good for 808 mixing. You just have to remember the car speakers or someone's beats are gonna make that bass sound way louder then it does when you mix it. MIDS - These are a bit mid heavy I will say. I say that because it seems like they push vocals to the front of the mix. listening to songs on YouTube sounded amazing because vocals are crisp, clear and right in your ears but not distorted. I listened to Instant Crush by Daft Punk for example and I loved it, it was like Julian was right in front of me singing in perfect tune and frequency. It is ALMOST to the point where it's too loud of vocals and you can't appreciate the instrumental enough. At first this kind of bothered me but eventually I got used to the sound. The instrumental still sounds good it just kind of hangs behind the vocals when listening to songs. And I assumed this is because the headphones are mid heavy. HIGHS- the clarity in the highs il admit is not mind blowing on first day of listening. But it's also not bad. I can't really fault it at this price. It does the job certainly and none of the frequencies overpower each other because sound stage and imaging is actually fantastic on these for the price in my opinion. Everything is separated well and you can hear each frequency clearly. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the highs since they don't take away from the overall listening experience Comfort - So these are not the most comfortable headphones ever but they are also not terrible. I wore them for a few hours with no issue. However, in order to have no issue I had to make some adjustments. The "self adjusting" headband these have I feel only works when bigger heads stretch it out. But it doesn't actually form down to smaller heads. I have a smaller head and these sat too low on my ears. So in order for them to fit comfortably I had to add some foam to the headband making them sit higher on my head. Not a huge deal but something to note. They also are kind of loose on my head probably because of my small head though. The ear pads aren't luxury but they are actually pretty soft and do the job just fine. They did not get hot for me after hours of listening. Build - I think the build quality of these is on par if not better than it's competition. It seems like they are made out of a cheaper metal but it feels sturdy enough just don't stomp on them or anything crazy. The headband seems the suspect for first thing to break if something does besides internal hardware. Otherwise they come with a very nice quality bag that is pretty thick and soft on the inside. Conclusion - like I said this is all based on one day of listening. But overall I enjoyed these headphones enough to listen for a few hours and I will probably keep them for making beats. I think the sound is balanced enough for it and its pretty much slightly above average for all sound requirements. I always have multiple headphones anyway for checking mixes but these should be a nice addition to those. I think if you can get these for 100$ or less you will not be disappointed and I don't think I mentioned this earlier In the review but these would be awesome for recording/tracking vocals. Thanks for reading my long review guys take care :).

A nice pr. of headphones. They have a good fit and are comfortable for my ears and sound great with good bass. Clamping pressure doesn't seem to be too tight for my head. My only complaint is the coiled aux cable supplied with the phones. The description states that it is 4' long and stretches to 15',but in reality it will only stretch to about 6' before it starts to pull off of my head. The cable is wound so tightly or the cable is so stiff and springy that it is not easy to use the couch to listen through the phones. I have a pr. of Sony MDR V6 that has a coiled cable that will actually stretch to a full 15' without pulling the phones off my head. I'd like to have a cable like that made up for my AKG K275. I would recommend these, especially if you listen within 5-6' of your source.

First off I love music, I'm no audiophile but an enthusiast for sure. Having owned various headphones, I love the sound that the AKG brand produces, however, the cans don't come alive until properly driven. A headphone amp is almost a must if pairing these to smartphones, tablets,, laptops (gaming laptops may be the exception). With no amp and running on any "normal" device the highs and mids are well controlled and transparent..however the lows are lacking and sound flat with no punch. Since these are closed ear, you expect a bit more punch compared to the open air design of many AKG cans. Plug it into an amp or in my case a upper spec gaming laptop, and WOW. Highs, mids, and lows come alive putting you right on stage with the performers or in the scene of movie you're watching. Really, it just sounds phenomenal if you have the ability to drive them properly.

To qualify my statements, I have owned many high-end headphones ranging from Audeze LCD-2C, Beyerdynamic T1, Campfire Cascade, Audeze Sine Closed, Dan Clark Audio Aeon-2, Grado 325e, Audeze EL-8T, AKG K712, and the list goes on... Considering that they cost $100, the are far better closed back cans (considering cost ratio) than the Cascade's which cost $800. Not as premium of course, but overall, a better closed back headphone. They are also better (considering cost ratio) than the Aeon-2 and those coast $800. Again, lacking the premium feel and touches, but the K275's just sound great and considering their price-point, you simply can't go wrong.

This is a review of AKG K275 Headphones I found this to be a very neutral sounding headphone which is what you would expect from a "studio headphone." It provides an unbiased range of sound. Mid and highs were clear and bass was present but not overwhelming. The coiled cord was somewhat stiff but is a bit longer which is useful in a studio situation where you might be plugging in to outputs that aren't right next to you. The biggest disappointment was the fit. I did not find the ear cups to be comfortable at all. The foam inside is not very compliant and the cups seemed to sit on my ear more than over my ear. Not something I'd want to wear for long and in fact not something I'd want to wear at all. I much prefer the sound and feel of my Grado SR80e headphones which are open back headphones that clock in at about the same price as these. The build quality of the AKG is much more robust but the Grado is more comfortable, lighter in weight and provides a nicer experience for me.

I'm not an audiophile or a professional, but it's such an improvement from my gaming headset. This set has great sound even without equalizer, although personally i like the heavy basses, which this unit provides in plenty. I would say with no EQ on it's pretty close to natural, but pretty heavy on the bass which is great if you like it.

Very well made, comfortable and with good ambient noise exclusion because of the earpads that go all round the ears, not just on them. Sound quality is excellent, as good as some I have tried which were three or four times the price. Both speech and music are well detailed with good bass response.

Great sound, not far from the k271, but with a bit warmer sound. The quality seems great at first, actually really impressive. After about two weeks of use the pads started breaking down, and after about 6 month the whole construction came apart. What seemed like solid metal rods, like the pair of metal rods holding everything together turned out to be hollow press-fitted metal tubes. You need to treat them like they were made of glass. It took me a decade to wear out a pair of K271 MkII, and only six month to wear out this pair. They are very loose fitting and would only fit a large head, so they're perfect if you have a larger head and feel that other headphones give too much pressure. I might get a second pair just because of this single reason.

Hallo, meine Voraussetzungen zum Kauf vom AKG-K275 war.... - wollte unbedingt geschlossen, da ich vom Umfeld nichts hören möchte - daher auch um das Ohr - Priorität hatte auch die Verarbeitung gehabt. Möchte nix mit Plastik. Hier ist alles Metall - kabelgebunden war auch meine Entscheidung hierfür, wo das 5m Kabel absolut ausreicht. Möchte Musik genießen und nicht dabei in der Wohnung herum laufen. - 32 Ohm bzw möchte ich nichts höheres um einen Vorverstärker zu betreiben. Eben nur wenig Aufwand und guten Klang soll es sein. Auch ist es dann mit weniger Ohm für andere Geräte unkomplizierter. Kurzum: Somit kam ich auf den Akg-k275. Angekommen, ausgepackt und ausprobiert war ich dann total überrascht und begeistert! Der Bass könnte leicht kräftiger sein, aber sonst.....absolut top. Von wegen die Kopfhörer hätten wenig in den Höhen zu bieten. Es kommt eben auch darauf an, was man für eine Anlage besitzt, welche sicher auch unterschiedlich klingen. In meinem Fall Denon AV Anlage.... - Einstellungen: Hifi oder Dts neo 6 - und was wichtig ist.... Restorer HQ eingestellt. Hier kommen Höhen und Bässe nochmals viel besser raus. Das Spiralkabel wirkt anfangs steif und somit straff bzw zu kurz. Ich habe es eine Woche lang im warmen Keller auf 5 Meter und mit 2 Kabelbinder vorsichtig fixiert gespannt gelassen. Somit ist es jetzt schön lang und weich geworden. Von dem Kopfhörer bin ich so begeistert, dass ich mir sogar einen 2. gekauft habe, da der Preis zur Zeit unschlagbar ist. Guter Klang, Verarbeitung super und kein Plastik, Haptik mega und zudem 2 Meter mehr Kabel.....für mich, mein absolut perfekter Kopfhörer! Also, volle 5 Sterne von mir für AKG K275. Alles Gute, Robert Update, 27.12.21: Ich bin nach wie vor sehr zufrieden mit dem K275. Als Hinweis möchte ich noch anfügen, dass dieser für den Einsatz an Hifi und AV Receiver ideal ist. Für kleinere Geräte, wie Handy oder Tablet reicht es um guten vergleichbaren Klang zu bekommen, irgendwie nicht ganz aus. Hier ist der K175 der richtige Kopfhörer. Der K175 klingt dafür am Handy (mit amazon music beispielsweise) unbeschreiblich gut. Bin somit froh beide Kopfhörer zu besitzen und euch meine Erfahrungen hier weitergeben zu können.

Kaliteyi duyabiliyorsunuz. Geniş "driver" lar ses üretiminde başarılı. En az iki katı fiyatlı kulaklıklarla rahatlıkla yarışa girer. Frekansları abartmadan, natürel vermeye çalışan, kapalı yapısı sayesinde vokal kaydı için ideal bir kulaklık. Uzun süreli kullanımlarda bir rahatsızlık yaratmıyor. Taşıma "torbası" yerine, yarı fiyatına satılan kulaklıkların paketinden çıkan bir taşıma kutusu sağlasa daha iyi olurdu. FAKAT !!! Bu kulaklığın kablosunu tasarlayan kişinin AKG'yi sabote etmek için rakip firmalar tarafından şirkete yerleştirildiğinden şüpheleniyorum. Başınızın en ufak hareketi, kulaklığın kablosundan size kocaman ve rahatsız edici bir sürtünme sesi olarak geri dönüyor. AKG gibi bir firmanın bu kalitede ses verebilen bir kulaklığı, böyle bir kabloyla satışa sunması, inanılır gibi değil. Müziğin sesi kısıkken, o çok rahatsız edici sesi duymamak için, kablonun hiç bir yere sürtünmemesi gerekiyor. Ürün sanki prototip aşamasında kalmış gibi. ÇÖZÜM !!! Yine Amazon'da satılan "Yedek Ses Yükseltme Kablosu" alarak, kendi kablosunu değiştirdim ve mutluyum.

📦 Partiamo dalla confezione, piuttosto semplice e scana ma contiene tutto ciò che serve: Cuffie, cavo mini-xlr => jack 3.5 + adattatore a 6.3, e sacca dove poterle riporre quando non le si usa. 📃 Ho aspettato un bel pò a recensirle dopo una brutta esperienza con ben 2 paia di cuffie logitech che andavano molto bene ma dopo un hanno iniziato a dar problemi...con queste AKG invece nessun problema, anzi mi hanno davvero sorpreso per la loro qualità sia costruttiva che audio. Premetto che non sono un audiofilo, e non ho pretese di confrontarle con altre, ma voglio solo condividere il mio personale parere sperando possa aiutare altri utenti a togliersi qualche dubbio. Le cuffie sono in metallo e risultano ottime al tatto, la banda superiore è di quelle che si auto adattano alla testa e non hanno quindi bisogno di essere regolate. Avvolgono molto bene le orecchie e la similpelle risulta molto morbida e di buona qualità. Le tengo a volte anche 8 ore e non mi hanno mai dato fastidio ne surriscaldato le orecchie, tuttavia per come sono fatte, penso che in estate richiederanno qualche pausa per non surriscaldare le orecchie. Ci ascolto un pò di tutto e si comportano molto bene sia sugli alti / medi che sui bassi, questi sono presenti e secchi dove serve ma non risultano mai invadenti. Hanno una curva piuttosto neutra e rispondo bene ad eventuali equalizzazioni. 👍 Le cose che più ho apprezzato: - Range di frequenze (su alcune canzoni ho notato suoni che non riesco a sentire con altre cuffie) - Ottimo posizionamento dei suoni per essere cuffie chiuse - Bassa impedenza che permette di usarle senza problemi anche collegate al cellulare (ma attaccate ad un DAC e ampli suonano decisamente meglio e più forte) - Possibilità di ruotarle e di piegarle quando non le si utilizza 👎 Le cose che mi hanno convinto di meno: - Il cavo a spirale, avrei preferito un cavo non a spirale e un pò più leggero - La sacca dove riporle è proprio basica e poco protettiva Se come me amate ascoltare la musica con una buona qualità ma senza disturbare gli altri, queste AKG K275 potrebbero fare al caso vostro.
