*by B***K on 29 April 2020*

Wow! Can’t understand why.. but I got this for almost less than half of msrp. Thought it might be fake but it is authentic new AKG product. Amazing deal. The big Audio AV retailers have got to be kicking dirt over this. However, the low price I paid is no where to be found on line now...... Gonna stop now and count the blessing and good luck
