World leading DJ teams with preeminent headphone maker to create 'AKG by TIESTO' line of high-performance headphones AKG is proud to announce 'AKG by TIESTO'. Marrying the tuning and styling direction of the top DJ and producer, with AKG's extensive knowledge of audio and technical design, the range comprises a trio of high-performance, professional-grade headphones.

The K67 TIESTO (high-performance), K167 TIESTO (professional), and K267 TIESTO (reference) all deliver a terrific level of style and substance, and will appeal to a broad range of users - from commuters, travellers, and home listeners, to studio engineers, artists, and, naturally, TIESTO fans.

The K67 TIESTO compact, on ear, closed-back design delivers consistently high sound quality wherever necessary - even outdoors. The model houses 40 mm drivers, and - like its siblings - the 3D-Axis folding mechanism enables flat storage. Next up, is the K167 TIESTO, which uses an over ear, closed-back design for far-reaching noise attenuation, while the robust build ensures long-lasting reliability.

Top of the range is the K267 TIESTO. The new flagship of AKG's professional headphones line, the K267 is an over-ear, closed-back design, and features include user adjustable bass boost, which keep sound neutral or, when prompted, maximizes deeper, bass frequencies.

Beautifully finished with anodized aluminium parts, the K267 TIESTO also incorporates an innovative DualPlug system that lets you connect the cable to the left or right side.

"AKG is rooted in the passion for music, at the same time as having a unique eye for design and style," TIESTO says. "Together we've created a line of headphones that are perfect for those who want the best quality of sound, but don't wish to compromise on style - whether you're looking to mix in the studio, perform live or even listen when you're on the move."

With more than 350 million total views on YouTube, 12.8 million+ fans on Facebook and over 1.3 million followers on Twitter, TIESTO is one of the most influential DJs in the world. His achievements have ranged from playing at the opening of the 2004 Olympics to an audience of billions, to Grammy® Award nominations and the coveted title of 'Greatest DJ Of All Time', bestowed on him by Mixmag. As well as running his label, Musical Freedom, TIESTO travels the globe, playing over 250 shows a year to millions of fans.

Sound Technology exclusively distributes AKG by TIESTO in the UK. The K67 TIESTO and K167 TIESTO go on sale in the UK during September, while the K267 TIESTO arrives in November.

Recommended retail prices, including VAT, for the K67 TIESTO, K167 TIESTO, and K267 TIESTO are £99, £199, and £329 respectively.
