AKG is a prestigious audio brand with a long history of excellence in sound engineering. Originally founded in Vienna, Austria, in 1947 as Akustische und Kino-Geräte Gesellschaft m.b.H., the company quickly became a leader in the development of high-quality microphones and headphones used in professional studios worldwide.
In 1994, AKG was acquired by Harman International Industries, which integrated the brand into its extensive portfolio of premium audio products. In a significant industry shift in 2017, Samsung Electronics acquired Harman International, making AKG a brand under the Samsung umbrella. Today, AKG's advanced acoustic technology is frequently featured in Samsung’s flagship smartphones and tablets.
While the brand maintains its design heritage and high-fidelity standards rooted in Austria, manufacturing for consumer electronics like the N400 True Wireless Earbuds is primarily centralized in China to leverage modern assembly facilities and supply chain efficiency. Samsung, as the ultimate owner, continues to market AKG as its flagship high-end audio hardware brand.
