AKG K872 Master Reference Closed-Back Headphones

The K872 is AKG's closed-back master reference headphone, built for mixing and mastering where isolation is needed but reference-grade accuracy cannot be compromised. Its 53 mm transducer with a patented two-layer diaphragm resolves fine detail from a very low 5 Hz up to 54 kHz, giving a full, precise picture of the recording inside a sealed enclosure.

Real-leather ear pads and a genuine-leather headband, with a slow-retention memory foam, keep pressure even for long mastering sessions. The closed design lets it work in rooms where an open reference would leak, making it a studio tool for critical work away from a treated control room.
