Werkelijk ongelooflijk goed klinkende draadloze koptelefoon met ongekend veel instellingen. Deze is na wikken en wegen vervangen door een koptelefoon die weer wat beter presteert maar dat werd er wel
€250 is a fair-to-good ask for a working Hearo 999 set, though not a steal: current used examples turn up around €150–€200 for worn or bare units, with cleaner complete sets closer to €250–€275. Against the original roughly €920–€1,199 launch pricing, that’s still a solid depreciation drop, but this listing sits around the middle of the used market rather than below it.
What makes it worth a look is the system’s unusual combo of genuinely good sound, very low noise for a wireless design, and real collector appeal as AKG’s flagship digital surround headphone rig. If it’s complete with transmitter, power supply, cables, and a healthy battery/charging setup, the package value is decent. I’d only push for caution if accessories are missing or the battery/runtime is weak, since that’s where older examples most often lose value.
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.
