Product Information
If you’re an audiophile or music professional, you probably don’t want to settle for anything less than clear, balanced music. Enjoy rich, realistic sound with the AKG K550 Headband Headphones. The headphones are equipped with 50-millimeter drivers and feature a frequency response range of 12 hertz to 28 kilohertz and an impedance of 32 ohms. This item was designed to handle and produce powerful audio and will rise to the challenge. The headphones provide clear highs, accurate mids, and detailed deep bass and high output. The balance allows for clear, precise transitions between the equalizer points, preventing forced, unnatural tempos. The large cushioned ear cups and padded headband of the on-ear AKG K550 headphone set allows for hours of listening comfort. The padded headband is broad, allowing for even distribution of the weight on your head and preventing aching ears. The closed-back design provides sound isolation, allowing you to drown out environmental noise and focus on the audio. The closed back of the K550 headphone also prevents sound leakage so that those around you won't be disturbed. At the same time, the headphones provide good airflow, keeping your ears from sweating with extended use. With dimensions of 5.5 inches by 9.4 inches by 9.8 inches, the portable AKG K550 headphone set is large enough to be sturdy but not bulky. The black headband means that it won’t stick out and will blend with whatever outfit you wear. At 8.3 ounces, these lightweight headphones won't feel heavy on your head or in your gear bag full of accessories. Fold these K550 headphones flat with the smart folding mechanism. This allows for seamless transportation and storage. If you want to clean the headphones before stowing them away, wipe down the exterior with a damp rag and let dry.The 3.5-millimeter mini stereo plug is compatible with most mp3 players and smartphones, so you can privately listen to your audio on several different devices. The thick cord is 9.8 feet long, allowing for plenty of room to roam when attached to stereo systems or recording devices. Those using the AKG K550 headset for gaming will enjoy the ability to move around while taking on the enemy. The sound quality will allow you to gain a tactical advantage as you hear the enemy clearly coming up behind you.Regardless of the device you use for listening, you'll hear a well-defined sound that evenly incorporates everything from the bass to the treble. The AKG K550 headphones easily separate the individual parts of the audio recording and bring them together coherently. No detail is lost with these black headband headphones, as you’ll hear the fine details within the soundstage. The AKG K550 blends those details into a high-quality compounded mix. Those that enjoy being on the move will find that a pair of these AKG K550 headphones are great for indoor and outdoor use. Walking and other forms of movement will not alter the sound, and the cable will not hiss or distort as a result of bumps.Product Identifiers

AMAZING, GET THESE CANS: USE A HEADPHONE AMP FOR EVEN BETTER SOUND
yes, these won the Hi-Fi award back in 2012. they are cheaper now because it's now 2016, so you can get a great deal on these cans. They have award winning AKG quality sound, comes in a padded nice box for easy shipping, the cable does NOT unplug from the unit, and the sound quality is incredible. I can't say that these would be good for studio sessions, but for DJ ing gigs and home listening they are exactly what I was looking for. Crisp highs, great midranges, not muddy or sounding like you're listening through a sheet of paper. great bass response, and they are great with a headphone amp as well. In fact, these headphones don't shine until they have the correct impedance to the speakers. I forget how many watts the speakers are, but if you give them the correct amount of power, they really come alive. AKG are made in China, but designed in Austria. The cons of these headphones might be : 1. the cable doesn't unplug, therefore, when it goes if it goes, the headphones are probably does too. 2. If listening through an iPod without amplification, you might get less performance than say with a pair of SkullCandy earbuds that take little power to run. I really hope this review helps you out if you're considering buying these headphones. Thank you very much for reading my honest review. All my reviews are from a consumer level, and are genuine, 100% honest reviews.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Best wired headphones ever.
These are my best and most favorite headphones that i have ever used. I love the design. I like the sound quality. The headphones are made with real metal. My previous pare lasted 3 years before i lost them. They never broke or stopped working.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Incredible Headphones!!
Best headphones I've ever listened to, even when compared to ones that cost AT LEAST 2-4 times as much!!! Everything from the bass/mids/highs to the super expansive soundstage (they sound like open-back but are actually closed-back) to the comfortable feel and premium look makes the AKG K550 MK II a winner in every way possible! Highly recommended!!!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Blown Away!
This is my second experience with AKG headphones. My first pair was the 551's and now these 550 MKII are almost identical in sound quality, fit and build quality. Great bass (not for bass heads) and treble but the mids could be a little better. Overall a great pair of large can 🎧 headphones.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Awesome Mixing Monitors
Great sound, very even in terms of sound ranges. One thing to note - if you wear glasses, you may have trouble getting a good seal, which will decrease the clarity of the lows. I take off my glasses when I need to hear a particular bass line very clearly while mixing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Solid value in a closed back headphone.
The k550 has a neutral presentation, with no edgy treble or boomy bass. True to whatever music is played, with a nice open soundstage, especially for a closed back headphone. Nicely built and comfortable at its price pointVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I'm glad I brought them.
I knew the original pads was not everything it could be, they had a price point to make. My plan was to buy new pads anyway when I bought myself a pair, lucky for me the previous owner had done that so, I'm happy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
