“Good build quality with solid sound performance…the K181’s definitely do not disappoint”.
The K 181DJ’s have been designed in cooperation with leading international DJs. The result: the ultimate tool for professional DJs – high performance closed-back headphones with the best possible sound and maximum SPL. These headphones are exceptionally rugged and easy to bend or fold into any listening position, and provide a switchable bass boost. iDJ magazine, the self proclaimed ‘DJ and dance producers bible’ give their verdict.
“The AKG 181s have a very unique look about their design and there is a feel of quality about them. The construction, with its rubberised finish makes the K181 feel very rugged. Weighing in at only 280 grams, and with the ample headband padding, wearing these headphones feels comfortable even after a prolonged stint in the DJ booth”.
“So how do they sound? With the bass boost switched off I found the speaker response clean and flat, which is perfect for studio monitoring. With the bass boost on the K181 come alive, and produce more than ample to kick to monitor the beat of the DJ mix”.
“The K181’s are comfortable and efficient. I found I was able to turn down the DJ mixer’s headphone output, meaning less ear fatigue and the part coiled cable ensures things don’t get tangled whilst allowing for plenty of movement in the DJ booth”.
