Frequently asked questions
What are these products used for?
The EK300 is a passive headphone cable connecting AKG headphones to audio equipment for studio monitoring. The W82 is a windscreen foam cover pack that reduces wind noise on specific AKG lavalier, ear-hook, and headworn microphones used in live or recording settings.
Are they compatible with each other?
No. The EK300 is a headphone accessory and the W82 is a microphone accessory. They serve different purposes in separate signal chains and cannot be used together.
Which one is better value?
Both are budget-tier. The W82 offers better value if you own compatible AKG microphones since you get ten units; the EK300 is the better value if you need a studio headphone cable and own compatible AKG headphones.
What AKG gear do these work with?
The EK300 works with AKG headphones that have mini 3-pin XLR connectors. The W82 windscreens fit only over the WM82 wire-mesh cap found on AKG LC82 MD, EC82 MD, and HC82 MD microphones.
