Description

This is a pair of original AKG K5XX (K550, K518, .etc.) dynamic drivers with 50mm diaphragm, an audiophile class product. See the review on head-fi. (see more headphone reviews at Beginner Guitar HQ)

Our study clearly shows that most commercial headphones won’t spend the major budget on improving sound quality, especial those priced $100~250 Bluetooth headphones with fancy functions like ANC. So if you are an real audiophile and won’t mind to get your hands dirty, you should think about upgrading the driver unit by yourself! See tutorials on how to upgrade headphone drivers, and be brave!

Proceed with caution: dynamic driver is with extremely fragile (1~5μm) diaphragm and can be easily damaged in following situations.

  • Soldering: overheated (>250 degree C) soldering iron or overtime soldering (>2s) may permanently damage the driver. Please managed down both in your DIY. 
  • Installation: the driver has Sintered NdFeB Magnetic inside with extremely strong attraction power. Damage may caused by attracting anything hitting the fragile diaphragm.
