Offered is „K1000 Selector“ by AKG as second-hand device from the category „Headphone Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7016659487 ends on 06.11.2026 at 16:47 o'clock.
Notable because this is one of AKG’s most cult-status oddballs, and the asking price is a genuine bargain. At €375, it sits well below the €587 25th percentile and far under the €799 median of the recent comparable EUR listings, so this is strong-buy territory rather than a merely fair ask.
The K1000 is prized for its speaker-like, out-of-head presentation and unusually open, airy staging, so a clean pair can be a real treat for the right setup. Good condition at this level is the big upside: if the drivers, headband mechanics, and cable are all healthy, this looks like an excellent opportunity to grab a rare classic without paying the usual premium.
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.
