K72

I was looking for a set of headphones to use when my electronic music gigs start back up. I also didn't want to be taking my more expensive studio headphones out into that environment. These AKG K72's fill the bill quite nicely. These are light weight and very comfortable to wear for long sessions. They have acceptable sound isolation. The bass is quite good - There's a bit of a bump around 100 Hz, but it is not unreasonable. The midrange is decent, but it does not have 3D audiophile-levels of clarity like $500 studio headphones. However, the midrange response is more than acceptable for tracking. The high frequency response is good, with a smooth roll off starting about 16 kHz. My only criticism would be the vulnerability of the connecting cable to the headset. So overall, the AKG K72's are a good value for those looking for performance tracking headphones.

Honestly most headphones in stores for this price are kinda bad. But trying these is honestly mind blowing. I'm suprised they figured out how to make good sound quality for that low of a price tag. I love using these headphones when mixing! The only real downside is that there isn't enough sound isolation, but my room is quiet anyway so that really doesn't matter for me. Overall these work great! Also if your reading this review I highly recommend using soundid if you want to make your studio headphones have a flat sound curve, which delivers the flat studio sound that provides extremely accurate audio,

For the price they're a decent set of headphones. Comfortable, but sound-wise there is a definite emphasis in the 200Hz to 400Hz range and a little damping of highs, which leads to a small carpeted-wall room sound overall. Detail is not there in the higher frequencies and the whole sound is somewhat muted and thumps in the lower mid and bass areas. I love AKG, and swear by my K701s, but the "Pro Audio" in the title of the K72 is a misnomer if you ask me. But then, there is about $150 difference in price between them, so this proves the old adage, you get what you pay for. I'd say good for general listening and hearing yourself talk if you're doing a podcast or something, but I wouldn't suggest making critical EQ decisions based on what these are telling your ears. To be thorough I revisited this review, and as I sit here listening to a few extremes of music taste and quality as I write this update, I'm still hearing definite emphasis in the bass area and muted highs. My music samples of choice were Steely Dan, Aja, some Hall & Oats selections, Nine Inch Nails, White Zombie. It may sound strange but it's telling. To be honest, Nine Inch Nails and White Zombie sound pretty good with these headphones but the bass response is still very pronounced, and once things are underway the muted quality takes over. The highly compressed quality of the more modern music helps, but the muffled effect is still evident. As some other reviewers mentioned, good for general listening. Good quality for the price I'd say.

Amazing....

Can’t beat the price and reliability of these. The design is made with inexpensive materials but is very sturdy. The ear cuffs fit super well over ears, even bigger ears, and the headphones are so light that I never experience ear pain or any discomfort even after 4+hours of wearing these. The sound quality is great and I’ve mixed and mastered on these quite a bit.

These are super comfortable. They fit around my ears perfectly without pressing on anything despite the fact I wear glasses and have a helix piercing; and the sound quality is pretty decent for the price. If I hadn't had a pair of Avantree and Meze headphones to compare them to I probably would have kept them ...but. In comparison they are rather tinny and have severe sound leakage. I didn't buy them for noise canceling but if that's what you're looking for definitely don't get these, there's literally no difference between having them on or not. The only way I could drown out the cartoons in the background was by playing music and turning up the volume. But like I said these are still good for the price of $45. Avantree Audition were the same price and have the choice of wired or Bluetooth with a better sound though the ear cushions are narrower and don't have a self adjusting head band. The other headphone I bought was the Meze 99 Neo which sounds pretty similar to the Avantree, though slightly better but with the price tag of $199.

As a caveat, I've never owned any top tier headphones. That being said, this is by far the nicest pair of headphones that I've owned and I've had many that I've paid quite a bit more for. I have used these consistently over the last year, and I'm constantly impressed with the sound quality, build quality, and comfort. If you're interested in a pair of wired headphones, I highly recommend these.

These sound great, are very comfortable, and seem to weigh nothing. Overall they are great.

These headphones are terrific value. Their solid build means they are going to last – AKG bent the cable 80,000 times during production just to test longevity. The generous padding is nice and comfy, while the 3m cable provides enough play for listening comfortably at home. This is a classic studio headphone design, and while you could just about get away with wearing these out on the street, the long cable demonstrates that they're not made specifically for that purpose. The sound is pleasingly expansive, with a breadth and scale rarely found in the kind of headphones you'd normally see on the high street at this sort of price. They certainly come across as smooth, not to mention the controlled bass. The midrange isn't quite as clean as you would like, but for the money, these are amongst the best over-ear headphones if affordability is a factor.

Le casque AKG K72 est un excellent choix pour le monitoring et l’écoute de tous les jours. La qualité sonore est claire et détaillée, avec des basses précises et des médiums bien équilibrés. Le design fermé permet une bonne isolation, ce qui est idéal pour se concentrer sur la musique ou le mixage. Le casque est confortable même pour de longues sessions grâce aux coussinets doux et à l’arceau ajustable. La construction est solide tout en restant léger, ce qui le rend agréable à porter. Pour son prix, c’est un produit très performant que je recommande vivement aux amateurs de musique et aux professionnels en quête d’un bon casque fermé.

音質はやっぱり良かったです。 最近コードが邪魔なので、Bluetoothが同じくらいの音質ならそちらが欲しいと思いました。

I've been a long-time AKG fan, I've owned all sorts of headphones throughout the years but the K77's I bought about 10 years ago have exceeded my expectations for the price point that I've looked no further since. Unfortunately, one of the drivers stopped working eventually (or could be the cable, which can't be replaced). Immediately, I went to look for a newer AKG offer and the K120 seemed to be the best choice. Unfortunately, those cans sounded flat and blocked none of the ambient sound. Fortunately, these K72s were the other "Amazon's choice" and I absolutely love them. Supremely lightweight and comfortable, for a guy with large ears I can wear them on extended basis with no issues at all, very large cup. And the stretchable band has been improved significantly. Long cable for comfortable movement. The sound profile on these is fantastic. It is not the flat reference sound of the K120, these have a punch on both the bass and highs and respond excellently to EQ adjustments. They can be used for enjoying music just as much as producing it. Also the low resistance means I can turn the volume down to 25-30% on my PC and it would get as loud as standard reference cans at 80%. Build quality looks solid, despite it being all plastic. They're very flexible (and of course as mentioned comfortable). If you didn't know, one might assume they're worth $500 based on the sleek design. Absolutely love these, you can't go wrong, and here's to another 10 years.

Encantado con los audífonos. La mejor relación calidad-precio que podrás encontrar. El sonido plano es perfecto para monitorear tus producciones, no amplifica de manera exagerada ninguna frecuencia. Su diseño es muy cómodo, puedes traerlos puestos varias horas y te olvidas de que los estás usando. Si lo que quieres es ver películas o jugar videojuegos tal vez estés buscando otra cosa, pero aún así te los recomiendo. No los cambio por nada, esta es mi segunda compra de estos audífonos, incluso más barata que la primera. El cable es suficientemente largo como para pararte y caminar un poco. Si tienes espacio en tu oficina o en tu mini estudio de grabación agradecerás la longitud del cable. El adaptador con rosca del conector es genial, te garantiza que no se saldrá de tu consola. Y también funciona muy bien sin adaptador. De lujo
