this video is brought to you by NCI XCOM great technology selection and service hello everyone i'm dmitri with higher conducts and reference headphones are very important in providing that reference sound signature so you know exactly how your audio edit is going there's no coloration of audio and you hear what you're supposed to hear the k55 3 pro is one of the latest aeg headphones to hit the reference market bring us an awesome looking clothes back studio design at 199 and so design-wise aeg is known for large circular ear cups and that translates well into this pair with left and right lettering imprinted on each side for easier distinction and i really love the combination of matte black almost this rubberized portions on the ear cups and the headband with these metallic accents as well and it's like a headphone is made for work and mastering without being too flashy or flashy in any way the build quality is right on point for headphone to live inside a studio robust joints flexible nor creaking whatsoever the ear cups fold in to lay flat on the surface and the k55 3 pro feel durable and they feel they can withstand some non delicate handling I sure think AGG could have amped up on the padding on the ear cups as it's not deep at all it's soft and my ears made contact with the internal driver the ear cushions are removable and can be swapped with another AKG pair for better comfort the padding of the headband is also limited however the shape of it helps to eliminate particular pressure points and the light weight of the entire construction is awesome to eliminate long-term fatigue seriously if only the ear cushions were deeper then the k55 3 pro would have been a must-have as a reference pair the cable unfortunately is non removable I think that's a limitation for a studio headphone and it's a super long one as well at 3 meters luckily the cable is thick and tangle free and then noticed almost zero handling noise with the cable that's the noise that the cable produces when it hits something so it does not translate into their ear cup so that's a huge positive and these being a studio headphone you will most likely have them plug them into an amp or a dock somewhere within your studio and being the 3 meter cable it's fairly long so perhaps encourages you to walk around so whenever the cable hits something it not translate into an audible interference inside the earcup and that's a major positive I tested the k5 5-3 with our Oh - Oh doc + amp combo and being only a 32 ohms headphone low impedance helps with mobile devices so the sound quality is exactly what I was expecting out of a reference pair it's a neutral sound signature no coloration bass boost is non evident and you might think it's a touch on the bright side but that's the whole idea of a studio headphone to be detailed and clear I really enjoyed the treble extension that exposes all the details and vocals but without signs of harshness or that high hats with appropriate roll-off the mid-range is right where it should be it's not disturbed by the base region lets you hear everything that's been placed there for you to hear the guitar solo and time by Pink Floyd was magnificent I felt every note and could hear the supporting guitar in the background clearly and I had to go back and revisit the entire Dark Side of the Moon album just for the k55 3s and this leads me to the lower frequencies and it might sound underwhelming or flat to individuals coming from non-reference headphones but the bass is there remember there is no coloration so if you are a trends or a house lover you'll be hearing the track just as intended whenever there is a massive bass drop it is controlled without booming the mid range also I'd like to know that the fidelity of the sound signature is preserved even at lower volumes so it's not like you have to blast out the volume on the k55 3 to hear the proper mid range and the bass and that's so that's a huge positive now the K 5 F 3 Pro is not the most fun headphone out there for example if you prefer slight brighter extension will Sparkle the treble or bass boost then the the K 5 5 3 may not totally suit your preference and I really wish that the ear pads were slightly thicker to be a bit more comfortable however for sound signature alone I did really enjoy my entire music collection from hip hop to instrumental trance house and a lot of classical rock as well and the 5:3 really satisfies in that department but like i said again if only the earpads were slightly thicker for better comfort and I really think that everyone should experience the reference sound signature so we've teamed up with mass drop to give away a pair of brand new AEG k55 three pros so there's going to be a link in description for you to sign up for mass drop which is an awesome community purchase site and out of those who have signed up you will be contacted directly by mass drop if you want a pair in the fewer you have an account leave a comment on this video of what you would like us to review next based on Nass drops recent drops so guys thank you so much for watching we hope you enjoyed this review of the AKG K 5 5 green pros make sure to subscribe for more audio reviews coming your way and click that like button if you found this review helpful as always thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one
