Built on nearly 70 years of audio expertise, the AKG K872 master reference closed back headphones deliver outstanding accuracy and comfort for production and live sound applications. Custom 53 mm drivers with powerful 1.5 Tesla magnet systems provide exceptional headroom, precise imaging, deep low frequency response, and wide dynamic range. The optimized closed back construction offers excellent isolation for tracking, mixing, and mastering. An open mesh headband and 3D shaped slow retention foam earcups provide a personalized fit and lasting comfort during extended sessions. Engineered with careful attention to every component and design detail, the K872 sets a high standard for professional headphone performance.
Superior Reference Sound
Every component is carefully crafted to work together for precise performance and an immersive listening experience. Large 53 mm transducers and powerful 1.5 Tesla magnet systems provide exceptional headroom and accurate imaging. The two layer copper covered aluminum voice coil works with the specialized magnet design to deliver high sensitivity, responsive transient performance, and an extended 5 Hz to 54 kHz frequency range.
Precision Accuracy and Performance
The K872 is engineered to reveal fine detail across a wide range of program material and high resolution audio formats. Its reference focused performance supports critical listening during recording, mixing, mastering, and soundtrack production, helping audio professionals evaluate their work with clarity and precision.
Optimized Closed Back Design
The closed back earcups provide strong isolation from external sound for critical monitoring applications. During recording sessions, the design helps keep headphone sound from reaching sensitive microphones while giving performers a detailed monitoring experience. This makes the K872 well suited for tracking, mixing, mastering, and other professional studio applications.
