Berlin, Germany. – AKG once again sets the benchmark in headphone innovation and design with three new introductions at IFA 2013. Some say the best things come in small packages and with the AKG K323 XS in-ear headphone, AKG has created one of the world’s smallest and lightest earphones. The closed-back, over-ear AKG K545 and K845 BT are the next step in the design evolution of the award-winning K550 bringing studio quality sound and supreme comfort to music listening on the go.
AKG K545

Urban design meets spacious studio sound quality with the AKG K545. This latest introduction builds on the award-winning design of the previous K550 and boasts a striking look in any of the four colour options – black, white, black/turquoise and black/orange. Listeners can enjoy AKG’s trademark studio sound quality on the go, while the combination of the closed-back design and superior acoustic dampening also help to deliver enhanced bass response.
Perfect for lengthy listening sessions on a portable music player, the AKG K545’s cushioned ear cups house 50mm (2 inch) drivers in a full over-ear design, to deliver a dynamic performance so music lovers can immerse themselves loudly in sound without disturbing others.
The AKG K545 is supplied with two detachable cables, which provide device control and enable calls to be made and received on the move. One cable is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod devices and features a three-button MFI remote, while the other is a universal remote and is compatible with a huge range of other portable devices including Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry smartphones along with MP3 and PC/Mac.
For further convenience, they fold flat for easy storage in a briefcase or backpack and feature a microphone line in so that calls can be made and received on the move.
