AKG K553 Pro review: specs and price

Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.

With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.

For example

Comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This model is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. It offers potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.

Best

A straight plug is better when the jack is on the top or bottom of your player.

The device is designed in a way that allows sound to go out through the back of the ear cups, which usually have vents or perforations. This design provides very natural and accurate sound.

For example

The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.

Best

The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.

Best

Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.

Best

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.

Best

The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.

Best

A standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards.

When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction.
