The K Series: Headphones for EVERY job!

The K 55 headphones are an excellent choice for rock and pop music! Lightweight, sealed headphones with self-adjusting head-band and single cable exit for a comfortable fit. 1.6-inch transducers provide extended frequency response. Turbo bass function gives you exceptional low-frequency response.

This closed-back design offers both excellent comfort and a fantastic sound that is both powerful (Turbo Bass) and accurate. High ambient noise attenuation makes the K 55 a perfect choice for all applications where isolating headphones with zero leakage are needed.
