"Airy and Spacious" Headphones
Boasting the largest AKG drivers in its product range, the AKG K550 headphone is ideal for private listening both at home and on the go. The closed-back design lets you concentrate on your music without disturbing or being disturbed by others. The large ear cups and new headband design ensure an amazingly comfortable fit.
The AKG is versatile, too. The stereo mini plug lets you enjoy the K550s with virtually any portable device, and the 1/4" jack adapter allows you to use the AKG with your hi-fi system, too. A 2D-Axis folding mechanism makes these headphones easy to stow away between listening sessions.
"Expertly Balanced"
England's What Hi-fi? magazine calls the K550 "Airy and spacious in a way that's beyond the majority of closed-back designs." According to the review, "The overall presentation is expertly balanced. The K550s are sweetly communicative, handle tempos in a natural, unforced manner and punch into and out of low-frequency information with precision."
Larger drivers, Richer Sound
The K550's large, reference-class 2" drivers deliver rich, lifelike sound across a frequency range of 12 Hz to 28 kHz, providing the full dynamics and 3-D spatial imaging of a live performance. Their closed-back design ensures that you'll hear your music exactly as its creators intended you to hear it with little ambient sound to distract you.
