De iconische akg k701 (made in austria) hoofdtelefoon. Vaak gebruikt in studio's. In prima staat (ook oorschelpen goed en schoon) ophalen of verzenden (porto 8,95 euro)
Would you be happy paying €100 for a K701 in unknown condition, or do you want a cleaner buy? The asking price is broadly fair to slightly strong: used examples commonly land around €80 to €120, with rough market noise above and below that depending on cosmetics, pads, and whether the box/case is included.
That makes this a sensible buy if the drivers are healthy and the pads/headband aren’t cooked. The K701 is still well liked for its spacious, airy presentation, precise imaging, and easy comfort, so it remains a good pick for classical, acoustic, and mixing use. With condition listed as unknown, the real value hinge is basic wear: check pads, self-adjusting headband tension, and channel balance before treating €100 as a done deal.
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.
