With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
Ingress Protection (IP) rating
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.
can be folded
✔AKG K182
Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
has a tangle free cable
✖AKG K182
The cable is designed to minimize tangling.

This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
lowest frequency
10Hz
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
highest frequency
28000Hz

driver unit size
50mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
impedance
32 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
sound pressure level
112dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
