As I’ve said before I would consider myself seven and a half tenths of an audiophile.  Not 100% there, but close.  I’ve heard many headphones from Shure, Sennheiser, Ultimate Ears, and Westone.  One brand I have always been intrigued in but never had the opportunity to listen to is AKG.  They have won various awards, as well as been highly praised on audiophile forums such as Head Fi.   AKG however was only available online used as they didn’t ship to the U.S.  That has all changed.  Today at Macworld, AKG announced they are bringing not just one, two, or even 5 new models, try 12+!  The 12+ AKG models will come in many different styles including ear buds, in-canal phones, over ear headphones, and mini headphones.  All listeners from casual to audiophile are going to be taken care of.  Unfortunately we have to wait a little longer as AKG stated the release date won’t come until March.  Click through to see all the models coming to the U.S.The models that are going to be released are: 

Ear Buds:

  • K309
  •  K311
