    Legendary AKG Sonic Performance

    Building on a 70-year legacy of continual design innovation, AKG delivers unmatched sound quality and comfort in this new family of Foldable Studio Headphones. The new K175 represents the culmination of decades of refinement—from the transducers, to the porting, to the fit and finish.

    You Can Take Headphones Out of the Studio…

    …but you can’t take the studio out of these headphones. Now it’s even more convenient to take studio-quality sound with you. With the K175, it’s almost as if you were sitting in front of a pair of great reference monitors—transparent, defined, and uncolored. Their superior sensitivity and low impedance offer maximum output before distortion, so you can use them even when playing music on lower-powered mobile devices.

    You’ve Never Heard Bass Like This

    When you’re serious about editing and mixing your music, you’re looking for more than thumping bass in your headphones, you need nuanced low frequencies. The K175 offers 40mm transducers—the largest in their class—to create greater low-frequency extension and detailed bass reproduction. This makes it easy to define each and every instrument you’re hearing.

    Built to Last

    After decades of the strictest product standards and most rigorous of testing regimens, quality has become synonymous with the AKG name - and these headphones are no exception. From intensive driver stress tests to an 80,000 bend cycle for cables and even an exaggerated drop test we put our headphone designs through the gauntlet, so you can count on them for years to come! All of the critical pieces are metal, including the hinge, guaranteeing they last through heavy use. Additionally the cable is replaceable further extending the life of your investment.

    Take the Studio With You

    With a completely foldable design made possible through an innovative three axis hinge the K175 can easily be collapsed. This means they are great for transporting in tight places like travel bags. The design minimizes the exposure to damage that comes with the demanding mobile lifestyles of musicians, producers and audio engineers.

    Make Music in Comfort

    No more tugging and pulling to adjust the fit of your headphones. The AKG 175 are the first foldable, studio-quality headphones in their classes to offer a self adjusting headband, floating ear cups and an innovative three axis hinge to provide you with an instant, all over perfect fit with every use. And they don't just fit well, they feel good. AKG Headphones have become a trusted studio ally over the years for their ability to be worn fatigue free for hours on sessions due to their light weight and comfortable slow retention foam ear pads.

    AKG K175 Studio Headphones

    The AKG Legacy - Inspiring Greatness for Decades

    For more than 65 years, AKG has helped create the iconic sounds of some of the world’s most well known recording artists, engineers and producers. Our designers and engineers have made it their life’s passion to find new ways to deliver breakthrough experiences for artists of all levels.

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the headphones. Some mention that they have excellent sound with great quality materials, perfect comfort, and are relatively robust in construction. However, others say that the quality is not what expected from AKG, the cable is cheaply made, and the open quality isn't great. The headphones were ok but broke after a few months. Overall, the opinions are mixed, and it's recommended to buy a better closed back headphone.

    Customers are mixed about the fit of the headphones. Some mention that they have a good fit and are comfortable for their ears, while others say that they were loose & stretchy with a poor fit right out of the sealed box. The suspension is likewise sized for a child, the pads are in fact small, and they simply wouldn't stay on their head and kept sliding down off their ears.

    "A nice pr. of headphones. They have a good fit and are comfortable for my ears and sound great with good bass...." Read more

    "...Not a huge deal but something to note. They also are kind of loose on my head probably because of my small head though...." Read more

    Painfully uncomfortable after an hour or so, BUT easy fix with pad swap.

    Painfully uncomfortable after an hour or so, BUT easy fix with pad swap.
    The stock pads are not quite tall or deep enough. My ears touch the top and bottom of the pads while wearing which in itself causes some discomfort. These pads being relatively shallow is the worst of it however. This pushes my ears against my head and against the hard speaker cover inside the headphones. These were on the painful side of uncomfortable for me to wear after an hour or two.Luckily, I have spare pads laying around for other headphones. I replaced the stock pads with a set of "brainwavz" oval pads for ATH5-M50X. Yes, the headphones have a round design, but trust me, the oval pads fit just fine, look good, and give your ears some extra space both vertically and depth wise. I used the micro suede on mine, but it's up to you they have several material choices. Just know that each material will change the frequency response (make them sound different).If you do a pad swap: oval pads should be offset so they sit at the same angle as your ears while worn (not perfectly vertical).As far as sound goes, well these are 80$ headphones so should be judged as such. They don't sound amazing, but seem relatively robust in construction, fold for portability, and have a sleek look. I used these alongside a k712 pro for about a week. These had smaller soundstage, imaging was not as precise, more low end/bass than the k712. That's not to say that these are "basshead" cans. The k712 is light on bass.
