AKG N5005 Reference Class 5-driver Configuration In-Ear Headphones with Customizable Sound (US Version), Black - GP-N505HAHHAAA

This thing sounds amazing. I use a Qudelix 5k, and you can just crank the bass on this with little to no distortion. It’s also super small with a super small nozzle so it fits awesome. It’s build like a tank and comes in a very nice box for a good unboxing experience as well.

Incredible quality for the price.

really like the trebletreble is the star of the show heretoo bad default tips are not ideal fit if they were 1mm wider it will be perfect other included tips are not same inner diameter and alter the sound not in a good wayN5005 sound maybe like 2018 1k iem but compared to today 1k iems they are not that greatoverall signature is bright with sometimes harsh treble but I like the treble on certain songs it shines like no otherbass is old school hifiman type think re600

I expected way more! I paid under $300 but not worth it at all. The connection they use is CRAP. THE FIT IS NONE EXISTENT BUT I GUESS IF YOU DONT MIND HOLDING THEM IN AND PUSHING THEM IN MAYBE THEY ARE FOR YOU. I PAID more and was to point I was going to pay a $1000 for TANK GOD I DID NOT… the harmed brand AKG,JBL & more has been around for ever they say and have equipped lead musicians for ever.. I have JBL earbuds that sound better than these in ear monitors.. I DID GET A PAIR FROM STATUS FOR 100ish much better in every way…. I HOPE I SAVED SOME PEOPLE SOME BIG $$$$

The original price of these fine in-ear monitors was $999 (still is that price on the AKG website). The are, simply put, the best sounding iems I have ever heard. The collection of supplied accessories is superior, the packaging is luxurious. My only quibble is that the cable termination at the iem end is an mcxx that is not standard -- the socket and plug are both just a little deeper/longer than standard. Size DOES matter... no other after market cable will work with these, so if you need or want to replace the stock cable, you are stuck with AKG.. Aside from that, a great product!

I am impressed. These 5 drivers are on point! In my opinion the best on their price range and then some.Although I like high end headphones I was happy with my Etymotic IEM's for years, until they suffered an accident. I love analytical/reference sound but now I wanted something better, wider, more dynamic and integrated.AKG brand is one of my favorites, 812 in hi-fi and 712 in mid-fi.I remember back in 2012, when considered Shure SE846 and Sennheiser ie800 as IEMS but settled for Etymotic since I needed the best isolation on the NY subway. Then I noticed the AKG 3003's hybrids and truly loved and admired the combination of dynamic driver and balanced armature they had. I thought: if just for sound, this beat easily the Shure and slightly the Sennheiser.Now that I bought the N5005: WOW.It shows the paradigmatic investigations of Dr. Sean Olive and others at Harman Acoustics Research centers. If you pay good money for AKG, Sennheiser, Beyerdinamic, etc. you are buying know how, tuning, expertise and experience that new brands cannot imitate (with a few exceptions).Anyway, the dynamic driver for lows (subwoofer), the two balanced armatures for mids (woofers) and the two balanced armatures for highs (tweeters) are put for perfection.

this is like using a phones speaker in your ear

I have been a long-term AKG user. In terms of sound quality, this is by far the best AKG headphone that I have ever used. For sure, this headphone is not cheap. But to me, it's definitely worth the price tag!
