AKG K175 turned out to be quite an interesting model, combining professional purpose and stylish appearance. As an on-ear model, the headphones have a detachable cable with a miniXLR connector, a folding design, and a comfortable fit. In terms of sound, the K175 turned out to be quite seasoned and balanced. These features can make this model a good choice for listening to music both stationary and mobile.

These headphones lack the required transparency and responsiveness, falling short of several other competitor models available within this price range.
