Outstanding build quality and superb sound!
Design
One of the most important features you need to think of when you’re using professional headphones is comfort. The AKG K72 headphones are intended for mixing, mastering, monitoring and tracking, which means you will be using them for hours in your studio. The K72 headphones are very lightweight (net weight is 200g) and they feature a self-adjusting headband so they will fit over anybody’s ears. The single-sided cable will make them easier for everyday use because you won’t have to deal with twisted-pair cables anymore. The K72 headphones have a black finish and earpads have that leather effect which gives them some kind a simplicity and elegancy.
Audio quality
Even though the impedance of the K72 is 32 Ohms they are recommended for both studio and everyday use.
The closed-back design of the K72 headphones will introduce the total sound comfort, with minimal outside noise. Versus open-back type headphones, the closed-back design completely covers the ear. The perfect harmony between high-frequency and extended low-frequency response will give you the whole spectrum of sounds. You will be able to hear the difference between many different sounds - electrical guitar, acoustic instruments or bass. Wide stereo effect- now you have the chance to experience it. Their new acoustic chamber, placed between the ear cup and the headband is what makes this quality possible.
At the same time, these earpads are replaceable, which can be very useful if you’re using the headphones for a longer period.
Another great feature is that the K72 headphones are compatible with many different playback devices. You can plug them into your computer, professional phone app or even an iPhone, meaning you can use them outside as well.
Overall, the K72 headphones are affordable and among the least expensive headphones produced by this company. You can get them for $50 and given this price range, you will get a decent sound for a limited budget. They are unbelievably lightweight too, so you will have comfort while recording. These headphones are really practical and multifunctional.
