AKG K72 High Performance Closed-Back Over Ear Monitoring Headphones - Professional Drivers, Lightweight Design, 2.5m Cable, Self-Adjusting Headband- For Recording, Monitoring, Mixing and more - Black

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.

TL/DR Good for the price, need to be EQ'd & if you aren't on a budget I'd look elsewhere. I've been using these headphones for music production, music listening and a bit of "competitive gaming". Initial impressions were poor and I definitely recommend you EQ these headphones to either your own preference or if you want them to be completely flat for those of you who like to mix and master music, as these have neither a good flat frequency response curve nor a good out of box sound profile. The headphones have a nice long cable (Read paragraph 3) & they feel a bit cheap but not fragile. Once these headphones are EQ'd they sound above and beyond for the price, for music production and mixing they have pretty good overall clarity & for gaming they are quite the treat to use too owing to the fact that the left & right "stereo" sound is very very nicely defined and can sometimes give you a bit of an advantage. There is a small but noticeable at times amount of cable noise (noise that reverberates through the cable into the ear cups themselves), for it to be noticeable though you have to be quite rough with the cable or be fidgeting with it. For those on a low budget they are a bit above acceptable I'd say, but if you have a bit of a bigger budget behind you I'd definitely look elsewhere.

Reallly good quality sound at a great price ce

These AKG's are very good. They are comfortable to use over long periods. The sound is neutral. They don't excel in any one area. The bass, mid range and top end all come through cleanly, revealing the production of the music. If a track is bright, then that's what you'll hear. If is bass heavy, likewise. You get ample cable, over 2 metres. The connection is a 6mm plug so you'll need an adaptor to plug into most hi-fi. The fit is adjustable, so easy to get a good fit. AKG make good headphones and these live up their reputation. I recommend them.

Very light and comfortable, and sounds great. Very long cable. If you just plug these into your sound source you will be disappointed, as these have (relatively) flat response curve. You need to EQ the sound to your liking to get the best out of these. For the price, cant really beat these.

These were What Hifi 5 star winners, but I must say fell way below expectations due to a very cheap sound !

Sennheiser's were my go to pair for everyday listening via my PC. After many years of faithful use, it was time. Purely on a cosmetic level, the cushions on each headphone had come loose exposing the foam below. Still sounded great, but looked terrible. Did some research and at this price point, the AKG K72 seemed a safe bet. Maybe they need a period of running in, because they sound trebly with weak bass. The cable is long and has a 6mm jack plug that can be unscrewed to reveal a 3.5mm jack. Adding some EQ has made a difference. Hopefully these headphones will give me as many years of enjoyable listening as my old Sennheiser's.

I’ve been looking for some headphones for a while specifically for vinyl listening. After a bit of research I went for these inexpensive AKG K72 closed-back headphones. I’m totally blown away by them. The clarity and detail is excellent for something in this price range and the eq is perfectly flat, just how it should be. Really comfortable to wear too.

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.

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

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.
