Apparently, someone at Harman saw it the same way (albeit a few years later) and AKG introduced now - exclusively in the US, for the moment - the K553 PRO headphones, featuring the same (we assume) 50-mm drivers for a strong, yet accurate and distinguished bass response as needed for monitoring and mastering contemporary music. The extra-large soft ear pads and lightweight over-ear design ensure stress-free listening over several hours, while the 2D-axis mechanism enables full flat folding for easy storage and handling on the road.
With its low-impedance drivers, the K553 PRO is sensitive enough to also be used on laptops and mobile devices, so the soft high-quality cable is equipped with a 3.5 mm (1/8”) plug. A screw-on adapter to 6.3 mm (1/4”) is included.
According to Philipp Schuster, Product Line Manager, Headphones, AKG, “regardless of environment, requirements for headphones remain constant: realistic, sophisticated sound reproduction and comfort. The new K553 PRO offers these qualities and more, while also being extremely affordable!”
