KEY MESSAGES
SUPERIOR REFERENCE SOUND
AKG engineered the drivers using large 53mm transducers and powerful 1.5 Tesla magnet systems to ensure greatest-in-class headroom and accurate imaging. The two-layer, copper-covered aluminum voice coil works with the special magnet design to deliver high sensitivity, superior impulse response, and an extended frequency range of 5Hz-54kHz.
OPTIMIZED CLOSED-BACK DESIGN
The newly designed, closed-back ear cups provide optimal isolation from external sound in critical monitoring applications. Worn by your recording performer, K872 delivers a most inspiring listening experience while ensuring sensitive microphones and your recorded tracks will be free of headphone "leakage."
REMARKABLE COMFORT
The K872 combines the comfort of AKG's legendary lightweight self-adjusting headband with a new quick-lock mechanism that maintains the right shape for your head, so there's no need to readjust every time you use the headphones. 3D-shaped slow-retention ear cups provide an exceptional personalized fit and comfort.
LONG-LASTING DURABILITY
Every rugged component of the K872 is tested by our engineers to ensure premium AKG performance wherever you go. All the mechanically critical parts are made of metal-from the precision cardan hinge to the headband. Details such as the trim ring around the ear cup provide a superior seal for the speaker plate.
