Product details

With the K 550, the AKG engineers have created a balanced equilibrium between the noise-isolating properties of closed headphones and the spatial sound of an open design. This high-end headphone is ideal for enjoying music at home or on the go.

The 50 mm drivers, the largest in our product line, deliver fantastic AKG sound from Hi-Fi systems and nearly all portable devices. The large ear cups and newly designed headband ensure an exceptionally comfortable fit. The 2D-axis folding mechanism allows the headphones to be folded for transport.

Der K 550 ist mit einem sehr guten Wirkungsgrad gesegnet und besitzt ein äußerst robustes Äußeres. Dank ausgeglichener, zugleich druckvoller Wiedergabe empfiehlt er sich für daheim wie für unterwegs.

Das Schwergewicht hat bei gleicher Tonqualität den Sieg nur knapp verpasst. Punktverlust für den Tragekomfort unterwegs.

…Im Bass hat der Neue etwas zugelegt, er bleibt aber untenrum immer noch eher schlank und schön knorrig. Ansonsten klingt er weitgehend ausgewogen, bis auf eine leichte Überbetonung des Präsenzbereiches. Auch in den oberen Lagen wünscht man sich eine etwas mildere Darbietung.
