Product details

However, with the semi-open headphones K 540, you can rely on faithful reproduction and a linear frequency response, just like with all AKG products, which meets the demands of professional sound engineers: You hear your favorite music exactly as your favorite musicians intended.

Thanks to their lightweight design and 2D-axis folding mechanism, you can easily carry the K 540 with you and enjoy Hi-Fi sound anywhere.

The semi-open AKG K540 headphones are designed for realistic, linear frequency response, which professionals in the music industry insist on. They are true Hi-Fi headphones that reproduce your favorite music as the musicians intended. An important feature of the AKG K540 is that both ear cushions can be easily removed and are 100% washable, ensuring that both appearance and sound remain optimal. The ear cushions can also be completely replaced if necessary. Many consumer market headphones use equalizer presets to artificially "sweeten" the sound. However, as you would expect from AKG headphones, the semi-open Hi-Fi K540 delivers lifelike, linear sound reproduction, essential for professionals in the music industry: You hear your favorite music just as the musicians intended. The completely redesigned headband ensures a comfortable fit even during hours of listening.
