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 9385226827 ends on 09.11.2026 at 10:44 o'clock.
This is a notable vintage flagship, and the asking price lands well. At €379, it sits just above the 25th percentile of recent comparable EUR listings (€378) and far below the median (€588), so this reads as a strong-value buy rather than a stretch.
What makes it special is the K1000’s speaker-like presentation: huge openness, precise imaging, and a very unboxed, airy sound that still has a loyal following. A clean, working pair at this level is attractive, especially if the listing includes the original cable, adapters, and any mounting hardware; for a design this old, those extras matter more than usual.
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.
