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 K245 represents the culmination of decades of
refinement—from the transducers, to the porting, to the fit and finish.
YOU CAN TAKE HEADPHONES OUT OF THE STUDIO …
…but you can’t take the studio out of these headphones. As the most trusted
name in studio headphones, AKG has sold over one million pairs of K240
series alone and now it’s even more convenient to take studio-quality quality
sound with you. With the K245, 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 K245 Studio line headphones offer 50mm 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
After decades of the strictest product standards and most rigorous of testing
regimens, quality has become synonymous with the AKG name—and these
headphones are no exception. From intensive driver stress tests, to an
80,000-bend-cycle for cables—even an exaggerated drop test—we put our
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 K245 can easily be collapsed and transported in tight
spaces, like a travel bag. The design minimizes the exposure to damage that
comes with the demanding mobile lifestyles of musicians, producers, and
audio engineers.
MAKE MUSIC IN COMFORT
No more tugging or pulling to adjust the fit of your headphones. The AKG
K245 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.
