K 550™
CLOSED-BACK REFERENCE CLASS HEADPHONES
With the K 550s, AKG® engineers have struck a masterful balance between the noise-isolating qualities of closed-back headphones and the spacious, dimensional sound of an open-back design – creating reference-class headphones ideal for private listening both at home and on the go. 50mm drivers, the largest in our product line, deliver great AKG sound from your hi-fi system or virtually any portable device. The large ear cups and new headband design ensure an amazingly comfortable fit, and the 2D-axis mechanism folds flat to stow or go.

What makes the K550 so special?
The Best of Both Worlds:
Combines the advantages of closed-back headphones (no sound leakage for a truly private experience) with the open sound of open-backs (typical “speakers” sound) – making it ideal for both home and street use.
Outstanding Sound:
The 50mm (2'') driver, the biggest driver in the AKG headphone range,
delivers a realistic soundstage – far beyond what other headphones typically deliver.
Cozy Fit:
With large ear cups and a new, lightweight headband design, the K550
offers an amazing, comfortable fit allowing for hours of continuous listening.
Great Compatibility:
The K550 works and plays well with virtually any portable device
including iPod, iPod touch or iPhone.
