AKG K 530
$100.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:Very distinct aesthetic - similar but more streamlined/futuristic than the K701. Highly accurate - an AKG characteristic. Good entry point into high fidelity headphones.
The Cons:Open style lets all outside sound in - good for air but poor for when listening
in a high noise environment. Not the most refined headphone money can buy. Slightly cheap build.
The AKG K 530 are semi-open, dynamic headphones that are part of AKG's Wired line and are offered in white or black. These are entry level professional headphones that appeal to the money-conscious audiophile.
They are made with a self-adjusting headband for a comfortable wear, and are suited for quiet listening environments and/or monitoring due to the open design which lets the sound 'breathe' as well as letting outside noise in. The XXL speakers have varimotion diaphragms which give accurate response while the open-back design allows sound to escape through the back of the earcup which gives an airy and natural quality to the sound. They are also designed with NdFe magnets and can handle a maximum of 200mW at 55 ohms. The ear pads are washable and easy to replace. Available in black and white.

#akg_k_530 Sound is really nicel and they are very comfortable to wear. It could be a problem for your CD player to drive them at high volume (I have Marantz CD6003), so you should listen them through your amp.
