“The K 1000 from AKG have been in production for ten years and still provide exemplary clarity.”

REFERENCE CLASS

k 1000

The only thing the k 1000 have in common with conventional head- phones is that you wear them on your head. They are the reward for the many years AKG engineers spent searching for the ulti- mate natural, spacious sound.

The k 1000 is a totally open design. Small leather pads hold the speakers a small distance away from the ears, creating a defined acoustic space.

This is the visible aspect of the design that creates the same nat- ural, binaural perception of sound as a pair of stereo loudspeak-

ers would. On the inside, too, the k 1000 are totally different from any other kind of headphones. Driven by dedicated VLD magnet systems, minimum-friction multi-layer diaphragms provide plane- wave sound fields in front of the ears. The sound field is subjected only to the changes and reflections caused by the anatomy of the user’s outer ears. This is the most natural way of headphone lis- tening.

Small wonder that the k 1000 were chosen “Headphones of the Year” more than once.

Incredibly natural, spacious sound.
