AKG K430 (White)

On-ear, closed-back headphones with 3D-Axis folding mechanism and integrated volume control.

“These headphones not only look the business but deliver excellent audio too,” says The Sunday Times (of London). We agree. We have revamped our much-praised AKG K430 on-ear headphones’ design to offer savvy listeners eight colors for a more stylish way to tune into their favorite music. An ingenious, 3D-Axis folding mechanism makes for easy traveling; an integrated volume control lets you alter the sound output without messing with your source device; and soft ear pads make extended listening experiences super comfortable. With the headphones’ wide dynamic range, you will hear every nuance that your favorite tunes can offer.

Key Features

High-performance sound.

Unlike most consumer headsets that use EQ presets to artificially sweeten the sound, the K430 from AKG delivers lifelike, ‘true’ surround-sound in accurate high fidelity. AKG K430 reproduces low frequencies down to an unbelievably low 12Hz and high frequencies up to 28kHz for wide dynamic range of sound. Combined with their uniform frequency response and 125dB sound pressure levels, these lightweight, closed-back headphones generate an immersive soundscape you can take with you, anywhere your music is a must.

Patented 3D-Axis2 folding mechanism.

Comfort and convenience are everything on the road, which is why we’ve painstakingly designed the K430 to not only deliver best-in-class sound but also best-in-class portability. With our patented 3D-Axis folding mechanism, the K430s ear cups first fold inside the headband, then completely flat for unbeatable portability. Combined with supersoft ear pads the K430 is as comfortable as it is portable.

Your music anywhere, anytime – from virtually anything.

Blackberry, iPhone, MP3 player, iPod, Droid – we get it: You’re connected. The last thing you need is a set of headphones that plays nice with only one of your many gadgets and none of the others. Thankfully, there’s a solution: AKG K430. Connect to your favorite music or video from virtually any portable player with all the dynamics you expect from AKG. K430 is so versatile, you’ll never need an adapter to connect to your favorite portable devices again. If you do – or if you have an older Blackberry device – the K430s have got you covered. We’ve even included a 6.3mm adapter for home electronic systems.

Innovative cabling.

We never compromise at AKG and, to ensure you get the best possible audio signal from amplifier to eardrum, we have engineered the same level of quality and revolutionary technology into the K430’s cable assembly as we have in the headset itself. The audio cable is made of oxygen-free copper (99.99% OFC) to minimize distortion and boost signal strength and, with a tangle-free, single-sided design, K430 frees you to focus on the music, not the noise.
