KEY MESSAGES

PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS

When it comes to audio quality, driver size and weight are critical, especially
in the lower frequencies. Generous 40mm drivers deliver high sensitivity for
powerful output, plus an extended, balanced frequency response that reveals
every detail of the mix without artifically coloring the sound.

PROFESSIONAL BUILD QUALITY

Like all AKG products, the K52 Headphones are put through stringent
mechanical, electric, and acoustic tests to ensure that they will stand up to a
lifetime of use. With metal construction and replacable earpads, your investment
will be protected for years to come. Additionally, the construction provides an
exceptional level of audio isolation due to a new acoustic chamber, between the
ear cup and the hinge that connects to the headband. Our innovative design
gives you the freedom to move your head in any direction, without letting sound
in or out.

DESIGNED FOR COMFORT

The exposed headband design keeps the K52 headphones comfortably light,
without compromising driver size. Breathable, lightweight ear pads encircle your
ears, rather than putting pressure on them. And a single-sided cable gives you
freedom to move. To sum it up, these high-performance headphones sound, feel
and look great.

FLEXIBILT Y

The K52s feature a low-impedance design and included 3.5 mm (1/8-inch)

-to-6.3 mm (1/4-inch) adapter for compatibility with a broad range of playback
devices, from professional studio gear to portable music players. Our engineers
leveraged their extensive expertise to optimize every single component—
delivering a great set of headphones without compromise.
