Excerpt: Like its open sister model, the AKG K872 belongs to the absolute elite of studio headphones. In addition to the largely neutral sound image, the outstanding impulse fidelity and the impressive surround sound, which is impressive for a closed model, are to be praised. The workmanship and comfort are also top class. The high weight and the sparse scope of delivery are undoubtedly bearable.
