AKG Acoustics announced its new K 101 headphones at AES, offering an open-back design with clean, modern European styling and AKG's patented comfort features.

AKG's K 101 is a lightweight headphone with heavyweight sound thanks to its new computer-optimized MX20 transducer design. The K 101 has a wide 18 -- 22,000 Hz frequency response.

The K 101 features high 101 dB sensitivity and low 19-ohm impedance ensuring compatibility with any low-output audio device including portable CD players, MP3 players and notebook computers. This incredibly lightweight design weighs only 160 grams (5.6 oz), making it ideal for use in portable applications. The K 101 headphones have AKG's comfort-fit features including a self-adjusting leather headband that provides automatic adjustment to the user's head for maximum comfort. The leatherette ear pads are easy to remove for cleaning. Other features include a single-sided, oxygen-free copper input cable with gold-plated 1/8-inch plug and screw-on 1/4-inch adaptor for plug compatibility.

AKG's K 101 has a suggested retail price of $84. All AKG headphones include a two-year parts and labor warranty.
