AKG K-712 Pro Reviews

Impressive sound with amazing price

The sound it sing is so impressive. You feel like sitting at the right angle where the band what you at. The earmuffs are so comfortable, so you may not be bothered by it as a long term listening. Finally, and the most impressive thing for me is that you don't actually need an expensive amp to drive this earphone. Right, I good amp and good DAC can push it to the extreme, but it also can just plug-in to your source device, like iphone or computer and listen to the music on Youtube. You still can be deeply impressed by the space that it define. Just plug it in, and enjoy your music!

Studio Headphones

I use these headphones as reference for mixing/mastering and composing on the go and as a second check after my studio monitors.

Very happy about the sound and build quality, I do wear them 6-8h./day quite often and they stay comfortable. The only thing that I had to get used to is the somewhat more "solid" memory foam; this means they sit a bit more loosely on the head, but very comfortable to wear for longer periods.

They are quite big as well. The bag and cables included are all from a very good quality. The only thing I miss a bit for this headset is a hard case, something I prefer to keep my headphones from "any harm".

THIS !

I have Akg k-240 but this..Perfect soundstage,very flat sound and low end i can listen music with this all day!! very comfortable...

Light headphones amazing sound!

I got them to monitor my mixings but now Im using them for almost everything. I wear em for hours and I dont realize they are con me. Super confy headphones and superb sound.

The best headphones i have owned to date

Over the years I've been in many different studios but there was one thing that stayed the same across all of them - a pair of AKG headphones.

So when I decided to get a reference headphone for mixing the choice was obvious (for me).

Pros:

-Easily the most detailed headphones I've heard

-Balanced sound

-The most comfortable headphones to wear. The self-adjusting headband helps a lot

Cons:

-They are mostly plastic and feel a little bit cheap

-The highs can be harsh if you don't amp them properly

I use them every day in the studio and am pretty happy with the mixes that i produce on them.

Great Headphone

I needed to replace my Beyerdynamic DT990 and decided to give a shot to this AKG model.

Really great soundstage. Might not be the most music enjoyable headphone, but it is extremely revealing and helpful for mixing your tracks.

Comfort wise its unbeatable, sometimes you forget you even have it on.

I did need to buy a headphone amp to fully enjoy this headphone, as even those it has low impedance, it requires a good amount of power to drive.

Definitely Recommended!

These sound great.

These headphones sound amazing. They are open ear so be sure you are in a quiet room. Then just relax and listen to the music the way it was actually recorded. I hear new things in songs I have been listening to for years with these headphones. I mixed some music with them and the mixes were really nicely balanced. I don't use these headphones with a power amp but I hope to one day. I heard they really open up with a power amp. Until then they still sound amazing right out of the box. No complaints.

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.

Excellent for everything

Great reference headphones. Comfortable and this baby handles mixing and is great even in long sessions. Saves ears and time. :)
