AKG HSD171 - Closed Back On-Ear Studio Headset with 55-Ohm Impedance and 60Hz to 17kHz Frequency Response in Black Finish

The AKG HSD171 Professional Headset with Dynamic Microphone is designed for high-performance applications in recording, intercom systems, ENG/EFP (electronic news gathering/portable field production), and video production. Built to withstand the demands of live environments, the HSD171 combines the renowned K171 MKII studio headphones with a durable dynamic microphone, offering excellent sound quality and ruggedness. Whether you're working in loud environments or during fast-paced broadcasts, the HSD171 ensures reliable, high-quality audio monitoring and communication.

The closed-back, on-ear design of the HSD171 provides high noise insulation, making it perfect for use in noisy environments. This feature ensures that the wearer can focus on the audio with minimal distraction from external sounds. The headset is equipped with a dynamic microphone that is designed to be robust and flexible, capable of handling the stresses of daily broadcast and live performance work. The microphone arm swivels through a 270° arc, allowing the user to position it comfortably and automatically mutes the microphone when moved upward. This feature is especially useful in ensuring that unwanted sounds are not picked up when the microphone is not in use.

The microphone is versatile, capable of being mounted to either the left or right side depending on the user's preference and space availability. The HSD171 also includes a convenient switch in the headband that automatically mutes the audio when the headphones are removed, helping to prevent audio leakage and distractions. The headset's rugged 6-pin mini XLR connector allows for easy cable replacement, ensuring that if a cable becomes damaged over time, it can be quickly swapped out without the need for tools. While the headset does not come with a connecting cable (sold separately), this feature ensures long-term durability and ease of maintenance, making it a reliable choice for demanding professional environments.
