K-712 Pro : Great headphones for the price

I own many headphones ranging from 100 eur, to over 1500 eur. AKG K712 is one of the latest additions to my growing headphone collection. I work as sound engineer in live/studio/broadcast environments. I have used the AKG K712 for the past few months mainly working from home, mixing different material in home studio. These headphones are very comfortable to wear. You can use them for hours without any fatigue. The sound is very good. Lows are very good and detailed, midrange is good not muddy, soundstage is great, dynamics is good. When I got them I found the highs a bit harsh but after a few days of intensive use the highs improved quite a lot and I don't find them harsh any more. Like any other headphones AKG K712 need some time to get used to. I use them for occasional listening and for professional work together with my other headphones. AKG K712 can stand up to many headphones way above their price range, but can not compete with headphones in 1000+ eur range. Do not expect that from them, be realistic. AKG K712 benefit greatly from sonarworks reference and with correction applied can be easily the only headphones you need for mixing and mastering. Give the AKG K712 a try, you won't regret it.
