Our take on the AKG K551

by David Brown

AKG K551 headphones with in-line remote and microphone

The AKG K551 headphones with in-line remote and microphone are available in black or white with silver accents.

Crystal-clear sound doesn't have to stay at home

You want exquisitely detailed, well-balanced sound. You want long-lasting comfort. And you want it to go. AKG has just the recipe with its K551 reference-class headphones. A leader in headphone technology for more than 60 years, AKG designed the K551 to deliver clear, even sound for high-end performance that will please critical listeners as well as casual music lovers. The large 50mm drivers are housed in closed earcups, so all those musical intricacies stay sealed in, while external noise is kept to a minimum. That way, you can hear all the fine high-frequency detail that these transparent headphones deliver.

An iPhone®-friendly remote

The closed back design is not the only benefit for listeners who want to take these headphones out and about. AKG has equipped the 4-foot cable with an in-line remote for easy control of music playback and volume. Skip tracks, pause and play, or turn up the volume with the press of a button, while your iPhone or iPod® remains securely in your pocket or bag. The remote also features a built-in microphone for taking calls on your iPhone, with easy one-touch answer and hang-up capabilities.

The K551's soft ear cushions provide enough comfort to keep you listening for long periods, whether you're livening up your day at the office, or spending a quiet evening at home rediscovering your music collection. These headphones offer a great combination of comfort, durability, and sleek looks you'll enjoy wearing.

Highlights:

  • around-the-ear, closed-back design
  • large cushioned earcups and adjustable headband
  • large 50mm drivers for a realistic soundstage and powerful sound
  • 3-button in-line remote for music and volume control of iPhone®, iPod® and iPad®
  • built-in microphone for taking calls on iPhone
  • 2D-Axis fold-flat design for easier storage and transportation
