## Questions & Answers

**Q: How are these headphones different from the AKG 550?**
A: K553 MKII have removable cord, the one in the 550 is fixed. Soundwise, I can't really tell because I never use the 550. What I read about it, it's there is not a big diffrence about sound. So these are almost exactly the same headphone, the major advantage about this is the detachable cable, for example  I have several with different lengths for different situations (long one for office, short one for commuting etc.). Hope this help you.

**Q: What is the difference between these and the "K553 Pro" model?**
A: My understanding was essentially nothing

**Q: Does it sound the same as the k553 ?**
A: Never tried those. I read about it a lot before buying them, it suppose to be the same headphone except for the detachable cable, which it's a big advantage.

**Q: Would an AMP benefit this headset any?**
A: Never tried with one, I assume as any other headset it will always benefit with an AMP. I use this one with my phone without problem, not really loud but loud enough. I used with a Iphone 6, later with a Xiaomi, now with a Pixel 3a. Iphone 6 I think was the loudest, may be my current Pixel best quality but not as loud as my old Iphone.
