Overview

Impressive audio quality and extreme comfort.

The on-ear, closed back AKG K175 headphones are perfect for live monitoring and mix applications. Just pick them up and you’ll immediately find the roadworthy design takes away the worry of damage while traveling. Try them on and you’ll realize they still provide the superior studio quality sound you expect from AKG. And you’ll never get tired of wearing AKG Foldable Studio Headphones because their ergonomic design provides a comfortable fit—even during long sessions.

Legendary AKG Sonic Performance
Building on a 70-year legacy of continual design innovation, AKG delivers unmatched sound quality and comfort in this new family of foldable studio headphones. The new K175 represents the culmination of decades of refinement—from the transducers, to the porting, to the fit and finish. With the K175, it’s almost as if you were sitting in front of a pair of great reference monitors—transparent, defined, and uncolored.

You’ve Never Heard Bass Like This
When you’re serious about editing and mixing your music, you’re looking for more than thumping bass in your headphones, you need nuanced low frequencies. The K175 offers 40mm transducers—the largest in their class—to create greater low-frequency extension and detailed bass reproduction. This makes it easy to define each and every instrument you’re hearing.

Built to Last
From intensive driver stress tests, to an 80,000-bend-cycle for cables—even an exaggerated drop test—AKG puts their headphone designs through the gauntlet, so you can count on them for years to come. All of the critical pieces are metal, including the hinge, guaranteeing they last through heavy use. Additionally, the cable is replaceable, further extending the life of your investment.

Take the Studio with You
With a completely foldable design, made possible through an innovative, three-axis hinge, the K175 can easily be collapsed and transported in tight spaces. The design minimizes exposure to damage that comes with demanding mobile lifestyles.

Make Music in Comfort
No more tugging or pulling to adjust the fit of your headphones. The AKG K175 are the first foldable, studio-quality headphones in their class to offer a self-adjusting headband, floating ear cups, and an innovative three-axis hinge to provide you an instant, all-over perfect fit with every use.

And they don’t just fit well, they feel good. AKG headphones have become a trusted studio ally over the years for their ability to be worn, fatigue-free, for hours on sessions, due to their light weight, and comfortable slow-retention foam ear pads. With a secure fit and seal, AKG Foldable Studio Headphones provide ideal bass extension and with a closed back, the K175 prevent external audio from leaking into the environment during critical mixing and monitoring sessions.
