Verdict

The AKG K245 is a professional over-ear, open-back studio headphone featuring large 50mm transducers that deliver a wide frequency response of 15 Hz to 25 kHz. Designed for mobile monitoring and mixing, it boasts a low impedance of 32 ohms and a high sensitivity of 109 dB SPL/V, making it easy to drive with laptops or mobile devices without a dedicated amplifier. Its durable build includes all-metal hinges and an innovative three-axis folding mechanism for portability, complemented by a self-adjusting headband and slow-retention foam ear pads for long-term comfort. Key pros include its impressive bass extension for an open-back design, detailed imaging, and robust, travel-friendly construction. However, some users have noted that the earcups can feel small for larger ears and the self-adjusting headband may not provide a secure fit for individuals with smaller head sizes.

7 AKG Headphones Ranked From Worst To First
