Biete hier einen erstklassigen Kopfhörer AKG K1000 an.
Wer den sucht, weiß um welche Legende es sich dabei handelt.
Der angebotene AKG hat die Seriennummer 04902 und zählt deshalb zu den öfter gesuchten "bassstarken" Versionen. Die Seriennummer des AKG K1000 hilft, zwischen frühen, bassstärkeren Modellen und späteren, bassärmeren Versionen zu unterscheiden. Modelle mit Nummern unter ca. 3000-5000 gelten als die "basslastige" erste Generation, während Nummern über 5000 oft als "bassarm" bezeichnet werden.
Die Kopfhörer kommen in der noch als gut zu bezeichnenden originalen Holzbox. Dazu gibt es ein hochwertiges ca. 1,5 m langes Adapterkabel, das ich aus Sommerkabel, Neutrik XLR Buchse und vergoldeten Hohlbananas angefertigt habe.
Kann natürlich gerne probegehört werden.
Versand möglich, gerne auch Abholung.
Der Verkauf erfolgt unter Ausschluss jeglicher Sachmangelhaftung
This is a strong deal: at €899, it sits below the €876 25th percentile? Actually, no—correcting to the listing math, it’s just above that floor and still comfortably under the €1,055 median, so it reads as a solid buy rather than a mere fair ask. For a niche vintage flagship like this, that’s the right zone if you want to buy without overpaying.
What makes it worthwhile is the model’s cult status: it’s prized for that unusually speaker-like, open presentation and the sense of scale few headphones can match. Excellent condition is especially meaningful here because parts and originality matter on older, rarer gear; if the pads, cable, and driver balance are all clean, this is the kind of listing that’s worth moving on.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
AKG traces its roots to post-war Vienna, Austria, where physicist Dr. Rudolf Görike and engineer Ernst Pless founded Akustische und Kino-Geräte Gesellschaft m.b.H. in 1947. Emerging from the ruins of World War II, the duo initially supplied cinemas with loudspeakers, film projectors, and light meters, handcrafting products in a modest basement with just five employees. Rapid expansion followed, as AKG ventured into car horns, intercoms, and carbon microphone capsules, quickly gaining traction with radio stations, theaters, and jazz clubs across Europe.
The brand's product focus sharpened on professional audio excellence, pioneering headphones in 1949 and achieving global acclaim with the D12 microphone in 1953, which set standards for voice transmission. AKG became renowned for high-fidelity microphones, including iconic models like the C12 tube mic, alongside headphones, wireless systems, and phonograph cartridges. While early diversification included cinema gear, the company honed in on studio-grade transducers and monitoring tools, later incorporating digital wireless tech.
Today, under Harman International (a Samsung subsidiary since 2017), AKG holds a commanding position as a pro-audio powerhouse, favored by engineers, performers, and broadcasters for its precision and reliability. It bridges mid-tier accessibility with high-end heritage, appealing to discerning hi-fi buyers seeking reference-quality headphones and mics that deliver uncolored, transparent sound— a legacy of Austrian engineering that remains a studio staple worldwide.
