Description

Closed-back performance meets open back sound

AKG K553 MKII is the ideal closed-back, over-ear studio headphone for monitoring, mixing and mastering. Designed for peak performance and maximum comfort, AKG K553 MKII combines the noise-isolating qualities of a closed-back headphone with the spacious, dimensional sound of an open-back design. The 2” (50mm) low-impedance drivers provide strong, accurate, and distinguished bass response, with enough sensitivity for precise sound reproduction on laptops and mobile devices. Extra-large soft ear pads ensure stress-free listening over long sessions. AKG K553 MKII even features a detachable cable and 2D-axis mechanism that enables flat folding for easy storage or handling on the road.

What the Pro’s are Saying

EarBudsZone:

EarBudsZone:

“An excellent example of studio-grade headphones with universal appeal. Audiophiles will love them for the astounding reference sound for the price and gamers will love them for the spatial awareness they provide. In addition, they’re also an excellent entry point into studio headphones if you’ve never used them.”

Major HiFi GOLD AWARD:

Major HiFi GOLD AWARD:

“The AKG K553 Pro headphone offers a surprising level of detail and clarity for the price. Add to this the rugged build quality, as well as the mesmerizing soundstage and ‘open’ sound, and you’ve got one humdinger of a headphone.”

Headphonics:

Headphonics:

“This is a really good headphone, I can’t really find a single true flaw in it with regard to sonic qualities…this is one of the best $150 or so headphones on the market, not only for raw clarity, but also stereo imaging.”
