AKG K553 MKII Studio Headphones bundle with Knox Gear Aluminum Stand

AKG K553 MKII Studio Headphones with Knox Gear Aluminum Stand SKU: A3280H00130K1

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 10 years of use, would buy again! I have had these headphones for almost 10 years. In these 10 years, they have been THE BEST headphones I have used for mixing. I have used a bunch of headphones and studio monitors in that time, and nothing has beat them out, not even the infamous Sony 7506 (given, cheaper, but more prevalent headphones in studios) Things to note with these headphones; they are not super low end present. If you are getting these to listen to consumer music, you may not like them because they are not "boomy" or "full". These headphones are for users who are looking for definition and clarity for making a solid mix. The other note is a MINOR complaint; the part of the headset that rests on the top of your head/hair has worn out for me. The muffs also wore out, but I replaced them. If there is a way to replace the foam under the band, please let me know because I would love to have them looking brand new again. I broke the cable that came with the headphones by accidentally vacuuming it about 2 years in (stupid, I know), but the detachable cable saved me some money. Also nice if you want to swap out different size cables. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to invest in headphones for studio mixing.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from cringe decent enough headphones and excellent sound quality but they fell apart after 3 weeks of light use and delicate handling and storage. With putting on, and taking off a nut that gets unscrewed that holds the ear to the headband. I manually repaired them, but in the meantime got another pair of similarly specced headphones that were better for price and use cases. These headphones are not worth it, this brand is not worth it, and the engineers and designers need to be put in a gulag. Not worth the hassle especially at this price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I am keeping my K553 MKII. I am not returning them Recently received my AKG earphones. Totally am taken in by its sound quality. So much stereo sounding. I did encounter receiving issues, but were resolved and i finally got my hands on them. Will not be returning these ever. Thanks AKG for this great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best all purpose headphones Purchased 2 years ago and use for both live performance soloing, personal listening, and some studio mixing. These headphones are very durable and comfortable, but the sound quality really sets them apart. They transport me into whatever I'm listening to. Combined with a fiios dac, they will do everything and will do it well. Unless you're looking for open back headphones, these will easily become your favorites. A+. I'll replace the earpads and cable when they finally wear out.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Outstanding value! I am a proud owner of the AKG K701 open back headphones, which is a superior set of cans. I needed a set of closed back headphones for isolation purposes. After reading countless reviews of the K553 MKII and similar products from other brands, I settled on the AKG. Glad I did. Others have noted the incredibly wide soundstage for a closed back design. I agree with that assessment, and the pinpoint locations of each instrument, voice, and sound make listening to music a lot of fun. You'll hear the reverb tail fading into the background. You'll hear fingers plucking bass strings. You'll also hear tiny consonant sounds at the ends of words in the vocals. Everything is there in a 2-D landscape. What is lacking is a sense of 3-D depth, but I've noticed the same limitation in other closed back models. The K553 MKII will not match the K701s airiness and sense of space, but that is to be expected. The K553 MKII faithfully reproduce clear, sparkling highs with no harshness. Midrange is linear with no smearing. Bass is punchy and deep with extended sub bass, with only the slightest bit of low-mid congestion. You won't get any bloat or mushiness that seems popular these days, even in some expensive consumer grade models. I am a bass guitar player with tons of studio and recording experience. I want accurate, uncolored, un-hyped bass presentation, and the 553s do a good job with this. These are fun, musical, dynamic headphones. They are worth an audition.
