IFA 2007: AKG K 530 LTD to Be Sold in High-Gloss Black

The AKG K 530 headphones remain the top performer in tests conducted by several high-fidelity and gadget magazines. In November, these headphones, until now available only in white, will be sold in retail stores in high-gloss black. The K 530 LTD headphones incorporate XXL transducers, which utilize premium materials and post-assembly enhancement processes, for superb sound quality. And thanks to their patented Varimotion diaphragm technology, the headphones' sound reproduction meets the highest audio standards. The Varimotion system delivers accurate sound, and superb imaging and clarity, even at high frequencies. And by allowing the thinner rim of the diaphragm, known as the movement zone, to vibrate more easily, bass is deep and powerful. The diaphragm also combines high circumferential flexibility with a piston-like motion in the center; this movement prevents undesirable diaphragm resonances.

Two other popular features of the AKG K 530 LTD: comfortable black-velour ear pads, which are removable and easy to clean, and a self-adjusting headband for perfect fit and comfort. The K 530 LTD headphones are also equipped with a hard gold-plated-jack plug with screw-on adapter, and an oxygen-free single cable (99.99% OFC) that supports optimal audio quality. Their chrome AKG logo and black-cloth-covered cable provide added touches of elegance.
