AKG K-52 Reviews

Good headphones

Sound quality is very good, comfortable, look good, good headphones for this price range. I recommend.

Good headphones.

I don't have a leak from my headphone to my mic anymore and the sound is good.

You get what you paid for

PROS:

-Very lightweight and comfortable;

-Decent quality for 30€, but do not expect "high quality" as I saw many people (and AKG) writing;

-2.5m cable, which could be a pro but also a con :D ;

-Decent bass for the price.

CONS:

-Very bad isolation;

-Really bad frequency response: highs totally messed up, mids with strange behavior;

-Consequentially, stereo image is pretty messed up;

-Materials do not feel like solid, balanced or strong - they're still acceptable for price range.

I am a master's degree student in electroacoustic composition, ergo: not an expert but not just an enthusiast.

I have to say my recent headphones have been AKG702 and Beyerdynamic 990 PRO, also in these days I am listening in a very great studio (well treated - enormous Genelecs), so my standards may be strongly influenced by this.

So, these headphones are pretty much ok for the money you're about to spend. But do NOT expect a decent isolation, a reasonably fair frequency response, a nice stereo image.

I just thought this pair of headphones would have been something better. Unfortunately it does not satisfy me, so I will send it back.

Very cool headphones. Totally worth the money. Good sound and way more comfortable than they seem. Value for money product heeereee...

Nice product.

Amazing gor the price

Bought these headphones a while ago, until now no complaints what so ever!

Quality Headphones

Bought to use in small studio,

pleasantly surprised with the feel and comfort. Aurally the sound quality is very clear with nicely detailed lower mids but as expected drops off in the bass.

Overall good headphones especially for the price.

Melhor relação qualidade/preço

For this price it has probably the best sound, including a good range of bass. I would recommend this item for whoever need studio headphones on a budget!

Quite surprised for the money

Sound is good for the price, they are quite comfortable but the quality of the build is just average but for the price this is acceptable.

Great for monitoring

I use these headphones to give headphone mixes to the person I'm recording in the studio. It's comfortable for long periods of time, you do not get any substantial leak from the headphone as it's closed back. The only drawback is that it does not have a long cable nor can it be replaced, so bear in mind that you need to have the headphone amp/audio interface/the interface that you're plugging the headphone into close to the person wearing it. Other than that, fantastic headphones.

Good live monitoring & home studio all-rounder

Don't be fooled by the photos - these headphones offer great comfort even though their fit is rather on the snug side.

I'm using them for monitoring my live EDM productions in small bars/clubs where they get abused and knocked about all night long - all the while being transported within a case full of other audio accessories - and they've withstood all of this abuse with flying colors.

Great value for money - they get the job done with appropriate levels for monitoring in rooms of 40-50 people without being overwhelmed by the PA.

In terms of sound quality, they're quite adequate for my purposes - although a bit bass-heavy.

Ok for the price, but not very high quality

I bought these headphones for convenience and not for sound quality. They do the job well, and they're actually quite comfortable and can be used for hours with fatiguing my ears/head. However, they have a certain hiss which is always there. Can be annoying, especially when using at low volume. Anyway can't expect much more given the price, so still happy with the purchase.

Good value for money

In this price range i couldn`t expect more. I use them for bass practise at home and they are OK. Nothing special, they handle well the low frequencies all though they seem to not be responding well in the higher spectrum. Build quality is good, the pads hug my ears gently but firm and the cable is long enough to give free movement here und there.

Good for amount paid

Use: I mainly use it for mixing and listening to music in general. It showed to be a very good product for the value paid. If you are not an audiophile and would like to have a good budget headphone, go for it.

Pros: well-buit, cable's length is good (around 1.5-2m or so), comes well packed and is big enough to cover the entire ear.

Cons: I found it to add some warmth to the audio that I didn't have with other headphones, but nothing major. If I use it for long times (2+ hours) I feel like having a rest, but probably this happens with all circumaural ones.

Overall: Would definitely buy it again and strongly recommend.

Boxy sound

Too many midrange. For me it is too boxy.

Nice quality headphones for a low price.

Needed some quality headphones, but am very limited in budget.

I know AKG as a quality brand, and these headphones deliver.

Nice solid low end, nice clear mid- and high end, and very comfortable, because of the big shells and the suspension.

Surprisingly well dampening shells. I expected it to filter less ambient noise out, but it does a good job there, too.

They also saw fit to make it of a plastic which does not make creaky and snappy noises, which is often hard to find for headphones in this price range..

You can see, hear and feel AKG is a company with experience and know-how about studios and what musicians need. Well content with my headphones.

Very open en nice sound

Splendid clear and sparkling sound. These headphones deliver a very honest representation of each recording. Rich in detail and not too bass heavy, although very able too also deliver thick bass sounds when they are present in the mix.

Wear comfort is excellent, the only bad thing about these headphones is perhaps the plug, which has a plastic casing instead of a neutrik plug or similar assembly

Excellent sound for a decent price!

Great Headphone for the price

Great headphone for the price I am very happy with my purchase. I was looking for a bit more bass without break my bank and this headphone is a great option.
