They may not feel like a premium pair of cans, but the sound quality of the K92s more than make up for their plastic exterior. Still a sound investment from AKG several years on.

Overall, the K92 is a great looking headphone that offers decent bass and mids

What’s more, there’s a good finish and signs of quality workmanship on show here, with a design that ticks plenty of boxes. The lower price hasn’t meant compromises in the usual areas. The K92 offers a midrange sound with a good hint of bass, with user-friendly functionality and slick looks that will bowl you over.

We hesitate to reccomend these headphones because of their poor performance in the lab and difficulty competing with similarly-priced products. Wait for these to go on clearout if you want them.

AKG has struck gold – the K92s might just be the best value headphones we've heard in years
