Applications:
For today’s high-definition home and mobile audio sources and lossless music files, only the best headphones will do. The AKG K172 HD represent a huge acoustic step up from darker-toned, unclear mid-sized headphones of yore and deliver the clearest sound and best frequency response possible from virtually any audio device you decide to plug into, all at a highly attractive price. The AKG K172 HD 'semi' closed-back earcup construction still provides very effective noise-blocking while minimizing unwelcome 'leakage' of the sound from the headphones to the outside, meaning in addition to being killer office cubicle, dorm or commuting headphones, the K172 HD are also excellent contenders for top studio and recording applications (aka "monitoring") where avoiding mic bleed from the headphones is critical. The K172 HD semi-closed'earcups encase proprietary AKG 'VariMotion' flat-wound drivers capable of presenting a huge frequency response; ultra-lows are faithfully reproduced down to 18Hz and high frequencies sing with dazzling clarity out past a claimed 26kHz -- which means only your dog will be able to hear the highest notes!
The AKG K 172 HD use a high-quality single-sided (not a tangle-prone "Y" cord!) 99%-oxygen-free cable measuring 9.5 ft in total length. The gold-plated stereo jack is a 'mini' 1/8" [3.5mm] type and all contacts are hard-plated to resist corrosion and enhance plug durability. The nice 2-year AKG manufacturer's warranty remains free with your HeadRoom 'authorized dealer' purchase receipt.
