The K553 MKII’s are closed-back, over-ear studio headphones for monitoring, mixing and mastering. Their unique performance results from the perfect balance between the noise-isolating qualities of closed-back headphones and the spacious, dimensional sound of an open-back design. The 50 mm drivers provide a strong, yet accurate and distinguished bass response as needed for monitoring and mastering contemporary music.

The extra-large, soft ear pads ensure stress-free listening hours and the 2D-axis mechanism enables full flat folding for easy storage or handling on the road. With its low-impedance drivers, the K553 PRO is sensitive enough to be used on laptops and mobile devices, so the high-quality detachable cable is equipped with a 1/8" plug and comes with a 1/4" screw-on adapter.
