plot twist: i am watching with k52s on
*shocked pikachu face*
Hello ! Would you still recommend it ?
@@siennafalls Yes they're good headphones. I would still recommend them.
I fucking love youtube comments theyre the best lol 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@AlteraSound xD 😂
Thanks for succinct and very helpful review that focuses on practical matters such as the headband, ambient noise levels, overall sound quality, and cost-performance!
The AKG K series are Professional Studio Reference Monitors. They are designed to have a baseline flat response for studio work. In the studio you want to hear the "truth"; not something that has been enhanced by headphones that have the bass and treble pumped and the mids scooped. Get some Beats or similar knock offs if you want to just listen to recorded sounds like music. These incredible headphones can be found in Professional Recording Studios all over the world. Again... These are specialized units. I use mine mostly plugged directly into my guitar amps for private practice/creation. I can't recommend them enough. They are better than some Studio sets costing 3-4 times as much!
What a relief, people saying it was really that flat and bad and I remember that I am not using this as consumer headphones but for piano practice, I think it would be more than enough
Exactly why I ordered a pair earlier tonight. I'll be using them as monitoring headphones with my USB audio interface (Tascam US-1200). I wanted headphones that do not color the source audio in any way. And from what I've read, they also perform better while being pushed by a preamp, like those in USB audio interfaces. I guess I'll find out how well they work for that specific purpose, when I record myself playing guitar and bass. I only paid $30 for them from MF.
Do u recommend them?
@@Speeder84XL thank you, I tried out the AudioTechnica MX30X today, would the AKG K52(not moded) be better than that. I would like to mod the AKG in the future, I know how to solder and I know my electronic components, but any tutorials on how to mod headphones and maybe with some explanations? Thanks for your reply!
I have k92s and I use them for general listening and they work well for that
Seem good enough. Through some Musician's Friend wizardry I just ordered a air for 20 bucks.
I own quite a few pairs of headphones with some costing upwards of 400 bucks but I just wanted something comfortable with a decent soundstage for gaming.
Nice review. It would have been nice if the "better options" referred in the video were listed. I am planning to get these but not am just wondering if there are some other better "unknown" options available in the market :(
hy maybe I'm late but these headphone are great for my mixing work. I these pair today. I've hade some other more expensive that wasn't as good as these AKG k52. Ok there are even more professional, but they sound very very nice to me. I feel just the midtowns a little week may because the have a very clean bass, and highs. But when you learn that your mixing will sound dope. And they are also good for watching movies or listen to other great music artist to compare with your mixing. The are comfortable and the long cable is long enough, for me not too long. Peace out 🙂
I bought a pair for podcasting about a year ago and hated it, i couldn´t hear my voice when talking. Im finally ready to move on to better things and invest in a ATH M50X BT :)
Watching this review on my new AKG K52
i using a k44 type akg headphones for 10 years, so this is good enough, I will buy it
Thanks!
Ok can anyone tell me the difference between k52 and k92 is there any big difference?
I'm going for singing class,would you suggest this?
Are these headphones suitable for tracking vocals while listening to the backing track? Do they have sound leakage in this scenario?
These compared to the KRK 8400?
Just ordered some! Got frustrated with a pair of Bose which are great if you listen to music but for recording, I felt my settings were not sounding right! Too much bass going on! Needed something fiat
What Sennheiser headphones do you have that you mention at the start? I need comfortable headphones
Do they sound better than samson sr850?
I am between the akg k 52 and the sennheiser hd 206, to listen to music on the way to school and at home and to play video games which you would recommend me
Akg would be better.
Thanks Much !
Are you saying that it's not a good choice for audio mixing?
i have been using these for about 9 months for Playing Guitar With my Amp sound quality is very good they hold up so far very well, and i also have monkey ears and after a few hours they do get a little uncomfortable but nothing that would make me not use them and for the noise cancelling i can deffenitly get murdered wearing these lol, when im jamming in my room looking down at my fretboard to the left on a few occasions ive had someone knock on my room door come in and litteraly i dont notice them till theyre 1-2 feet away and scare the daylights out of me LOL, so overall i mean if u dont wanna spend a arm and a leg and want decent headphones for recording,jamming where you need to hear high,low ends a little more clear then apple or just tun of the mill over ears, id reccomend
Are these “usable” for gaming?
Are they better then oneodio?
hello can they be used for voice over
Is k52 good for recording
Do you worry about sweating and the earpads getting ruined? I have mine on almost all day and I sweat profusely.
I use mine to listen to music from a Behringer Q802USB/Audio Interface, I run my PC's audio, Galaxy Tab E and guitar amp into it and listen to all the audio through these headphones. They handle bass really well, I can also adjust the EQ's on the mixer so the audio doesn't clip. I've played subwoofer tests on RUclips and these headphones handle the extreme bass well. Audio levels 1-10, I have the treble at 8.5, Mid Range at 6 and Bass at 8/8.5. I'm very pleased with the sound that's coming through them. I'm very particular with sound, EQ settings and overall sound, I mess with EQ's and these headphones are great. I'm just worried about how much I sweat and the "moisture" corroding & ruining the earpads, besides that, I really like them. I had to get my glasses adjusted, get the arms "straightened" out, once they were adjusted, I felt NO pressure from the headphones on the side of my head from the headphones.
J Gregory Your review is better than this one.
Thanks, I wasn't trying to "out due" this review, but thanks for the positive feedback.
thx gregory
@@Jermusicislife84 Are you satisfied?
@@samurayyasin2458 Ah, that was 2 years ago. I've since got a new pair AND I hardly use them, I live in a house now and I can listen to music out loud. But the ones I own now are really good. Audio-Technica
I'm using them with my phone right now, they keep pausing the video and changing the volume, is that normal??
It has 3PIN or 4PIN jack ?
cool monitor in the back
Does it connect to Samsung and iPhone?
hi, nice video, but my budget only gets to the akg k52 or seinheisser hd 206, what would you recomend?
Hi, i don't really have experience, with the akg-s but the hd206 is a ripoff at that price, it's dry as a desert, if you can, buy 1-2 dollar iem-s and that might outperform the 206's. You're much better off buying the k52-s and if your budget allows it, get some brainwawz leather or PU leather pads, those will stand the time, and it might improve the sound quality of the headphones, and massively improve the comfort of them
These are monitors, they aren't intended for on the go listening. They supposed to have flat EQ without any enhancement.
How do you like the design, I quit like design
I have owned a pair of K52 headphone, a Behringer on air, one plus bullet z earphone, Oppo m31 earphone, sony 200i earphone and some more mid range headphones and earphones. I have been with studio recording business for last 30 years. Out of all of my headphones i can say K 52 has given much more good sound stage for listening a song. Bass, mid and highs are very good in k52. But it is not made for mixing songs in studio only for tracking instruments. Oppo m31 has the best sound signature in earphone segment followed by One plus bullet z.
My first thought to this headphone was like.. The design looks like a marauder car
Is there any neck discomfort with this ?
I’ve been using K52s for audio rendering for a couple years now with my animations. So far so good, but my only complaint is that the headband’s “tightness” wears down over time (as expected) and basically renders itself as useless. My head’s on the bigger end, so it works fine. But after prolonged use, the metal band thingies kinda dig into your head. I used them for my first year in college, and I wish the cable was changeable as I would have the cable wrapped around my phone and in my pocket which made it bulge like crazy. Uncomfortable.
Overall rating: 7/10 for the price.
Sound quality: 6 washing machines out of 10 tilapia.
Nice video! This or samson sr85s?
Oh man i have the same question
@@matiasaguilar2500 Well I bought samsons month ago. They are just fine for the price, reasonable build quality and quite wide soundstage they has.
Is there any microphone on it?
Please review akg k72 headphones also
Are they good for playing electric guitar?
Yes, thats what I use them for.
@@josephtabar492 what about bass guitar ?
@@pilotreg no, for e-guitar they're awesine but for bass guitar absolutely horrible!
@@leibnizlp665 which headphones would you suggest for bass guitar?
In this budget area would your recommend something else?
I say a much better option, at half the price of here or more (Less!):
Monoprice SonicSolace BT (5) with Noise Cancellation!!! 2 colors, Black or Sand

Or if for any reason you have a phobia of BT and need a retro design with headband s.a. the one here, try this that comes with wire:

who commented
this headphones good for video editing and sound editing ??
It was a studio headphone,i think is best to use when watching videos and listening music
@@marceloktav1941 ok thank you
@@tamernader this headphone is made for making music and editing correction not for casual listening
This or Samson SR
Love my Samson SR850 'phones! Cheap thrills but not comfortable for all day use.
Is k52 sounds better then ath m40x?
hell no
Wire is connected to only one side. Now the other speaker has no wire connection whatsoever as far as I can see. So does it mean sound emits only from one side which has wire?
There's a cable going through the frame of headphones to connect to the left side. This is pretty typical of professional-style headphones.
the signal actually goes through the metal headband on the top, there is no 'wire' connecting the two sides the metal headband acts as one big wire connecting the right side to the input
Your invitation to feel free to hit 'dislike' convinced me that hitting 'like' is the better option. Subscribed!!!
JeeZ!
They're $15 at guitar center 😮
I just got two pairs for $14.99 each on musicians friends
Is it a good option to buy now @2000/- INR
Yes
These are flat frequency monitoring head phones....
Exactly why I ordered a pair earlier tonight. I'll be using them as monitoring headphones with my USB audio interface (Tascam US-1200). I wanted headphones that do not color the source audio in any way. And from what I've read, they also perform better while being pushed by a preamp, like those in USB audio interfaces. I guess I'll find out how well they work for that specific purpose, when I record myself playing guitar and bass. I only paid $30 for them for MF.
Sounds like it would be better to spend $100 and go to the next tier
Rusty Zipper I've got the Bowers & Wilkins P7 and the K-52 is better especially in soundstage. The pads can be changed to better k92 pads as and when these wear out, the jack can be added with a higher end adapter cable and you've then basically got a $100 set of cans.
that saxophone background music is annoying
Iv never bought cheap.head phones , im.not big on headgear, some reviews say theyre. decent i listened to war of the worlds (usually through q acoustic bookshelf 3020i,s goooood or acoustic energy bronze 600 big lumps of things , biwired . Awesome . Today it was headphones , like cheap cheapo.headphones , how bad can they be theyre akg, my last pair was awesome , these akg 52s sound like im treading mud , with a bucket on my head , ok test over (AVOID LIKE PLAGUED CHICKEN).
I am testing a new pair of AKG K52 headphones and I disagree with most of the things you say assuming mine are representative. On low volumes and with acoustic music, the ambience, stereo imaging and sound quality are quite good and pleasant but, at volumes above 50%, the treble is simply awful splashy distorted rubbish. You spend so long initially talking about cosmetic nonsense. AKG and Koss make much better headphones for similar or slightly higher prices.
OK for listening, but definitely not for mixing or recording. I ABed them with Sony MDR7506 and the K52s are not even in the same ballpark as the Sony's which you will find in professional studios all over the world.
u wear glasses that creates pressure on top of ur eats imho
annoying music, left!!! :((
I got these today. Sound is shitty and muddy for rock, you can't even distinguish rhythm and lead guitar. For all other music it sounds tunneled and hollow. AirPods and EarPods sound much better than these. My other headphones are some Audio-Technicas which are night and day to these.
update 3/11/19 - Although they are the ones that sound the worst from all my headphones, these are the ones I use the most since they are the most comfortable, super lightweight and do not heat up your ears at all. Not the best sound but perfect comfort.
Well, comparing an AKG budget option with Audio Technica its kinda unfair
couldn’t agree more. the bass is really not there! and the overall sounds sounds hollow. also checked out the frequency graph and there’s a deep dive at 2 - 4khz
These headphones were designed for use as studio monitor headphones. They are purposefully EQ'd flat, as to not color the source audio in any way. They are also designed to be used with a preamp in an audio interface or instrument amplifier. They were not designed to be used as headphones for listening to music through iPods, cell phones, receivers, or computers.
@@nitegoat1369 Exactly what I want them for. to record my guitars into Daw programs. Then when I am done with my songs I can listen to them with better headphones that you use for listerning to music :)
In this budget area would your recommend something else?
