Product Information

Man… your thoughts echoed mine almost to the tee, though more in regards to the K702 Anniversary which should be very close to the K712 Pro’s sound judging by friends. Headphone measurements by definition are approximate and variable so don't be surprised if other measurements even if performed with the same fixtures as mine, differ in end results. At 64ohm impedance, the headphone is very easy to drive and functions very nicely off my iBasso DX50 even on low gain, but I suggest trying to acquire a better source with regard to bass output to do the K712 PRO justice on the low end. Main FeaturesOver-ear design for maximum wearing comfort for long work sessionsSophisticated open technology for spacious and airy sound without compromisePatented Varimotion Diaphragm Technology for.

Overall though, I'd still give it 5 stars since the comfort and quality issues can be modded around, while the sound itself is really good.Running these from a Scarlett 2i2 headphone jack was completely fine, but an amp should be considered if you want slightly better clarity.

The over-ear design guarantees maximum wearing comfort for fatigue-free mixing and mastering, while providing spacious and airy sound without any compromise. The headphones have been tested on the Aune X1S Headphone Amplifier (on high gain) and iBasso DX160 DAP and neither of the two have enough power to drive it properly. The band material is very soft and breathable, adding weight and bulk to it would be detrimental to the already super light and comfy design.Build quality is very good, all of the important mechanical parts are either metal or durable plastic. Without it, the headphone sounds like a typical AKG headphone: lean on the low end and a bit thin overall. Looking forward to getting a cable approx 30cm/1ft long and 3D print a holder to put my Fiio BTR5 to use it as a bluetooth headphone around the house. Back in the early 00-ies the Sennheiser HD 650, Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro and AKG K701 were the trio of decent headphones one would be looking to get. The K240 Studio professional over-ear, semi-open studio headphones are designed for professional applications such as mixing, mastering and playback.

To make it as easy as possible for you to get the gear you want, we offer a range of instant finance options.I remember I could always hear the bus streets away when others couldn’t and I could always tell when and who was in the driveway based on the car sound and we didn’t have loud cars and I'm not a car person.

This is achieved by using revolutionary flat-wire voice coils and a patented Varimotion two-layer diaphragm. It’s obvious from the self-adjusting elements took top priority in this effort, with things feeling incredibly secure when worn for longer listening sessions, but avoiding the usual fatigue and discomfort that can accumulate at the temple and other parts of the head. The fatal flaw of the AKG 712s is the recessed treble that is probably a result of that extra db of low frequency that has been dialed into these cans…The engineers engineered the treble right out of the AKG712s such was there too obsessed pursuit of giving you “more bass”……So, you end up with a too warm sound, acerbated by the wide sound stage, and the result is that the articulation and precise trebles that AKGs phones are known for are missing……. I would say that the distortion in the low end is very good and only peaks over the audibility threshold at the very bottom. The K712 impresses me as neutral and detailed, with decent enough bass and a full (but not bright) treble.There’s a very authentic dimensionality to the sound here, without ever the feeling of things sounding artificial. Summed up, use an amplifier known for stereo imaging qualities and very smooth, forgiving highs and you will be rewarded with a highly dynamic and tonally balanced experience throughout the entire audio spectrum Beautiful. These discounts are usually communicated through newsletters, which are created and managed by us with the tool "Emarsys". Maybe a bit more bass, but I can't for the life of me find the same bright yet smoother sound signature of the other AKGs. The phenomenal frequency range of the K712 headphones will ensure that you hear every detail in the mix, giving you precise and accurate listening when mixing or mastering.
