K-712 Pro : Excellent reference headphones

These headphones sound excellent. They aren't hyped in any way and the detail and clarity is sublime. I would not mix primarily on headphones, but these are perfect for referencing mixes or sorting out the lows and highs which are either hyped or inaudible through monitors. I also trust these headphones if I think my speakers or room are lying to me, so these are a great option for the mix engineer who works on location or travels lots. They seem to be exceptionally well built and the inclusion of both a coiled and straight cable is very useful. When it comes to comfort these headphones excel, fitting completely over the ear rather than on top and self adjusting. The ear pads are made of some sort of memory foam type material with a velvety coating rather than the usual sponge/leather combination.
