The goal was to create the ultimate tool for professional DJs.
Therefore, we teamed up with DJs to design the AKG k 181 dj.

The target was obvious: to find the ultimate tool for professional DJs – high performance closed-back headphones with the best possible sound, and maximum SPL that should be exceptionally rugged and easy to bend or fold into any listening position, and provide a switchable bass boost.
The k 181 dj have been designed in cooperation with leading international DJs. Their distinguishing features include 3D-Axis professional folding mechanism, high-sound pressure level, closed-back earphones, stereo/mono selector, bass-boost switch, frequency range from 5Hz to 30kHz, detachable cable, and rubberized finish.
