Product details

These reference-class headphones utilize "Real Image Engineering" technology, which creates a highly realistic sound for an authentic spatial listening experience. The closed design of the K551 headphones provides enhanced passive noise isolation, allowing only minimal sound to escape.

With the built-in microphone, calls on the iPhone can be easily answered or ended. The three-button remote control allows for playback functions and volume adjustment. For convenient storage and portability, they can be folded flat using the 2D folding mechanism.

An der Verarbeitung und den verwendeten Materialien kann man nicht mäkeln und so ist auch der Tragekomfort sehr hoch. Leider ist die Bedienung mit den Tasten etwas mühsam und auch der Bass könnte etwas dynamischer sein.

Besonders die Detailwiedergabe ist dem AKG Modell sehr gut gelungen und somit hat der Nutzer ein sehr sauberes und klares Klangbild. Die Maximallautstärke ist hoch, wobei aber der Bass etwas zu schwach wirkt und die Ohren durch die Ohrhörer schon warm werden. Dafür ist der Kopfhörer klappbar und somit sehr mobil.
