Over the years, AKG has presented us with some of the most amazing sounding, no frill headphones. The new AKG K72 are over-ears, closed-back headphones that provide you the perfect combination of sound quality and comfort. Fitted with a powerful 40mm driver unit the K72 delivers solid bass, with well-defined mids and clear highs. What you get is a perfect unparalleled audio experience. The cable runs 3m long, making these perfect for all your studio applications. It aims at delivering an extended frequency response that reveals every detail of your music.
The AKG K72 headphones deliver authoritative, extended low-frequency response that gives definition to kick drums and bass guitars. It has a balanced high-frequency response revealing the nuance in vocals, guitars and acoustic instruments. The 40mm drivers deliver high sensitivity for powerful output, plus an extended frequency response that reveals every detail. The K72s also feature a low-impedance design for compatibility with a broad range of playback devices, from professional studio gear to portable music players. AKG has designed these headphones by optimizing every single component without you having to compromise on your music and comfort.
The AKG K72 has a comfortable over-ear design that also helps in providing ample sound attenuation. The design aims at providing exceptional comfort with its lightweight construction. These headphones have a closed back design eliminating sound leakage and a solid, crisp bass. It maximizes the sound isolation by eliminating audio leakage and delivering sound to your ears only. The exceptional level of audio isolation is achieved due to a new acoustic chamber, which sits between the ear cup and the hinge that connects to the headband. AKG's innovative design gives you the freedom to move your head in any direction, without letting sound in or out. With the K72, you can enjoy a private workspace, no matter where you are.
The headphones have comfortable replaceable leatherette earpads that allows for easy cleaning and maintenance. Breathable, lightweight ear pads encircle your ears, rather than putting pressure on them, thus making your listening experience feel and sound great. To help you get a perfect mix and monitor track levels for several hours, the AKG K72 has a self-adjusting headband. The unique self-adjusting headband automatically creates the perfect fit for you. The exposed headband design keeps the K72 headphones comfortably light, without compromising on the driver size.
The K72 comes with a 3m, fixed, straight cable along with a convertible jack plug. The single sided cable gives you freedom to move while mixing.

| Experts Verdict |
"They’re more comfortable too and their synthetic leather pads are of much higher quality, getting as close to the real stuff in appearance and feel as you’ll find anywhere near the price." What Hi-Fi |
"The Shure SRH440 sounds fantastic with a wide range of musical genres—and the price is right for artists recording in a studio and music lovers alike." PC Mag |
"Punchy bass and detachable cables. The ATH-M50x are the absolute best headphones one can buy in this price range, and we really don't need to suggest any alternatives." NDTV |
"The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Studio headphones are a classic that are still relevant thanks to excellent audio performance, a stable fit, and a reasonable price for what you get." PC Mag |

"It is also very lightweight, largely because of all the plastic. But knock down the K72 for its lack of heft. The lightweight actually adds to the comfort when you are wearing the headset."

"The K72s aren’t perfect, though. Mid-range colouration means vocals don’t sound entirely natural. Instead, they come across as boxed in and unrefined compared with most other areas of the K72 sound."

"this headphone is worth a listen. If you have a larger budget, you can peruse other models from Audio Technica or AKG, but the general philosophy will remain the same: simple build, good drivers, and great sound."

"The K92's are a big pair of headphones. With their large flat design AKG appears to be making a pair of headphones that it wants people to use in the studio or at home rather than while out and about."

AKG - K72
Honestly these headphones sound pretty good considering the price.At first audio quality was muddy but after a few hours of Burning In the audio was bright and clear .
i mainly bought these for longer hours of usage and i am totaly satisfied with these. because of over the ear design they are super comfortable.
from my prospective audio- 4 /5 ,( the vocals could have been better)
design - 3.9 /5 ( buildquality is a bit cheap)
comfort - 5 /5
and 5/5 for the guys at headphonezone for quick delivery and service.
HI Ayan,
We thank you for this lovely review & we are glad you are enjoying it! Keep the music playing.
For people like me it unable to serve my purpose all however I wrote an honest review for those are interested to purchases AKG K72 headphone.
The headphone overall performance is decent. this AKG headphone can produce very detailed sound, but not natural. Mid is muddy, high is ok,.bass is quiet good its not excellent with any specific kind of music ... Not made for mixing. Major drawback of the headphone is its design its feel too cheap and boring and annoying … 3m long cable make it costlier and difficult to carry the headband besides it require an external DAC for good performance (without DAC its nothing more than another headphone) is too weak and ugly the speaker Is placed too closely to human ear.
Performance 8.8 (with DAC) and 7 (without DAC)
Design 7
First impression 8
Overall rating 8
Last of all thanks for your Excellent (10/10) packaging and quick delivery service and good response

Can I exchange this headphone with another headphone from your site?
Well, I know its base price is ₹4500 or something but I got it for ₹3549 all thanks to Headphonezone. I've used quite a few headphones within this price range but I'm quite sure that these have turned out to be better than all the previous ones. Things that gives these headphones an edge over the others is it's perfect closed back design and a high audio quality with a vast frequency range. Clearity is good, slightly muddy but still, fair enough.
Physically, it's thick single sided wire might outlast the other headphones which usually have a thinner wire. Light weight body and huge ear cups. Definitely go for these if you've got a tight budget.
Hello Anant,
Thank you so much for the words of appreciation. We are glad you liked these headphones. :)
