The AKG K872 is a statement. 70 years of professional experience, premium materials and the latest technologies make the K872 the best closed-back headphones AKG has ever built.
Extensive knowledge of professional and studio needs form the basis for the AKG K872. The headphones are uncompromisingly designed to meet the highest demands in sound and reliability. Its incorruptibly neutral reproduction and the well thought-out design down to the last detail guarantee permanently optimal working conditions, wherever the K872 is used.
The closed design sustainably dampens the influence of external sound sources. At the same time, ergonomically shaped, self-adjusting pads enclose the ears and vouch for a comfortable climate even with long listening sessions. The ingenious gimbal suspension of the ear cups and the intelligent earpiece design guarantee a secure fit and first-class wearing comfort at the same time.
The air-permeable open-mesh temple band can be easily adjusted to the individual head shape. A three-meter long, single-sided supply line with high-purity copper cables ensures sufficient freedom of movement in any situation. A professional Lemo connector allows the cable to be conveniently plugged into and removed from the handset.
Technically, the AKG K872 is groundbreaking. The high-tech transducer is driven by neodymium magnets with a field strength of 1.5 Tesla. This enormously concentrated force allows for unprecedented precision and low distortion. An extremely lightweight, double-layer voice coil ensures perfect control of the diaphragm movement and guarantees first-class impulse response.
The innovative shape of the 53-millimeter compound diaphragm is the result of countless series of measurements and experimental setups; it enables the enormous bandwidth of 5 hertz to 54 kilohertz. The higher the bandwidth, the more undistorted the reproduction presents itself in the actually audible range.
Mechanically, the AKG K872 is ideally equipped for tough use on stage and in the studio. Audiophiles who like to enjoy music on the go will also benefit from the exquisite manufacturing quality. Crucial elements are made of metal and can be easily replaced in case of service. On the road, a high-quality carrying case reliably protects the headphones from shocks and can also be used as a stand.
