    • A steal for the sound and build quality for the near-top of the line AKG headphone
TEST SETUP: AKG K712 Pro w/ original orange cable, source: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD (Game mode: Crystallizer 75%, EQ adjusted to boost mid-lower and mid-upper range), reference: Denon AHD2000 DISCLAIMER: A recent visit to an ear doctor revealed that I have lost hearing in the most upper and lower frequency ranges and I am not even 30 yet, nor do I ever listen to loud music. Please, particularly audiophiles, protect your hearing and listen responsibly. The AKG K712 Pro (and any other high-end headphone) should be used at reasonable volumes. INTRO If you're looking at this headphone, you're probably looking for something near the best from a respected manufacturer but want to spend well under $1000. Since you've read this far, you're right on target with this one. With the current prices of the AKG K712 Pro, you'd be remiss not to have it near the top of your list. This is probably one of the best buys you can get your hands on, so without further ado, read on. SONIC QUALITY The K712 is billed as a reference studio headphone and thus will be tested as such. We expect a straightforward sound that does not *sound* tweaked toward particular frequency ranges. Test music: -AOA Black - Get Out live at 2012/10/26 KBS Music Bank -AOA Black - Moya live at 2013/08/08 Mnet Countdown -Dalshabet - REWIND -Dalshabet - B.B.B. -IU - Good Day -Jevice - Don't Answer The Phone -Tiny-G - Minimanimo -T-ara - I Go Crazy Because of You -T-ara - Number 9 -T-ara - Roly Poly (Back to the Future ver.) There's a lot of different music in there but after going through them, a few points are pretty clear: -The K712 really is a reference studio headphone. There is no 'coloring' of the musical quality - if you are looking for a special sound, you may want to look elsewhere. It is literally WYSIWYG (or rather what you hear is what you get). Bass-heads and soprano lovers will undoubtedly have the sonic equivalent of hunger. You may tweak the EQ a little bit but the fundamental sound will still be there. Consider your uses before you buy. -Because of this, the K712 works for all kinds of music - pop, rock, ballads, disco, dance, etc. - a jack of all trades. -Harsh sounds (like explosions or guitar distortion) are especially pronounced depending on the recording's quality. Now for the details: Some people will turn up the volume on their headphones (a bad thing) to hear details like whispering or lip-syncing during live events. There's absolutely no need to do that with the K712 because sonic details are rendered with astute clarity at reasonable sound levels. Female rock band AOA Black is dominated by lead guitarist Choa and keyboardist Yuna, and you can hear them singing at the top of their lungs right into the microphone in the live "Get Out" performance - and you can hear it all at low volume. Some AOA fans protested that bassist Mina only does air guitar, but using the K712 to replay the "Moya" live performance proves them wrong - the bass is evidently there and remember that the K712 does noticeably boost particular frequencies. IU's 3-note noisemaker in the final verse of "Good Day" deserves particular mention because, well, the 3 soprano notes don't seem as jarring as they normally do. The same sort of phenomenon appears in T-ara's "I Go Crazy Because of You" - a pretty bass heavy song that doesn't seem as deep as it normally does through speakers. In this respect, there's a little life lost in certain songs that push the upper and lower ends of the frequency scale. Lastly, the Back to the Future version of "Roly-Poly" is a disco homage with the DeLorean time travel boom at the 3:00 mark. This mix is a test of sonic quality, and on the K712 its sonic 'accuracy' makes the distortion is particularly harsh. Listeners should keep this in mind when using the K712 for certain music or action movies. BUILD QUALITY When you pick up the AKG K712 Pro (or any of its siblings, K602/K702/Q701), the headphone seems fairly simple. Non-leather pads, relatively thin leather headband, plastic here and there, no obvious adjustment system. However, once you try it on, you will realize that the design is quite ingenious if you're coming from another manufacturer. There is hardly any weight from the headband, which auto-adjusts based on the size of your head via elastic bands connected to the earpads. You quickly realize that having sturdy, non-degrading (read: environmentally-unfriendly) plastic headband will last a long time unless you purposely drop the headphone. The earpads are memory foam and, because they are fabric-covered, won't get shredded over time by my facial hair like my old Denon AHD2000 did. The round design means that if you don't have the headphones exactly perpendicular to your head, the sonic quality will not change as they might on other headphones. The K712 is provided with 2 cables, a straight orange cable and a coiled black cable, both of which connect to a 3-pin port on the left earpad. Whether you prefer single cable or Y-connector is personal taste, but practically the K712 has a simpler build. In the end, the light weight and comfort means that you can leave this on your head for hours; you will take it off first to do other tasks than you will from discomfort. AUDIO SOURCE AND POWER USAGE Obviously, this and any other high-end headphone should be used with equally high-end sources, audio processor and music both. The K712 WILL pick up audio artifacts more noticeably than lesser headphones, so if the explosion you are seeing in the movie playing wasn't rendered in the highest quality, the sound will be considerably harsher and distorted. Any musical remixes will most likely suffer because the tracks weren't originally written with each other in mind regardless of the closeness in rhythm. Furthermore: -If you listen to music mostly from your computer, invest in the highest end soundcard such as the Creative X-Fi Titanium HD or Asus Xonar Essence STX, both of which can be found for ~$150-$200. Both have amps capable of driving the K712 plenty loud at low levels. -If you mostly use a home stereo, you can use an amp but it is only necessary if you are looking to change the sonic character (i.e., a tube amp) - the low impedance of the K712 does not require much power to drive. -If you mostly used your smartphone, nothing additional is necessary - you can try a USB portable amp but remember that you are limited the connection on your phone; in my experience, USB connections are never that great for audio. OTHER THOUGHTS Keep in mind that this is an open headphone: sound leaks to the ambient air for better resonance (i.e., increased sonic clarity). The K712 are best suited for a quiet environment where you are not concerned about disturbing others or being disturbed. Also, there is a burn-in time required, though they will already sound much better out of the box than lesser headphones. A few days (~100 hours) is reasonable. PRICE/PERFORMANCE AND CONCLUSION As of this writing, Amazon lists the AKG K712 Pro at $379 (MSRP $700). You can usually find most high-end headphones on Amazon at greatly discounted prices, but since the K712 regularly sells at ~$500, under $400 for this item is an absolute steal. Comparable headphones will cost ~$500, so if you happen to be strapped for cash but want something near the top, it is difficult to beat this price/performance ratio. Also recall that the top AKG model, the K812, is the only one above the K712 and provides a bit better sound at $1500...and is not on Amazon yet. So before this seller runs out of $380 K712's, and you happen to be in the market for a studio headphone, give this a good listen - you won't be disappointed. ... show more

    • Excellent sound quality, truly neutral headphones if you have the appropriate equipment...
First of all, these are great headphones for the money. They have an excellent sound stage, are very neutral sounding with a clean and accurate bass... That is, if you have the right equipment. Despite having a reasonably low impedance, if you want the high fidelity sound that you're expecting you'll need plenty of power. All my tests were conducted with 320kbps MP3s or loseless audio files. I tried these cans with my LG G3 cell phone just for the kicks at first. Due to the impedance, they're a little bit on the quiet side but I was able to get them to a comfortable level at full volume, but, they are still very much underpowered. On some tracks, most notably on anything by Mastodon, there is a slightly consistent crackling noise I did not experience on other set ups. It is almost like a very subtle clipping. Now honestly this didn't bother me too much as I had no intentions of using these headphones connected directly to my phone, but as a simple test. In most tracks, the mid ranges sound reasonably alright. Not particularly clear or good reproduction but present. The treble sounds somewhat low quality and fake, but the more exaggerated echoes of the vocals sound clear and crisp. The bass is present but does not have a lasting effect and does at times sound rather weak. The sound stage of the headphones on the G3 is notable, but certainly not the highly esteemed sound stage the AKG brand is typically well known for. I received some of the similar results with my FiiO E10k DAC and Headphone Amp combo, retailing at usually around $90-100, but with an overall increase in mid range clarity and sound stage. The phony tremble still remained, and the bass surprisingly now sounded even less present. It had a more lasting effect due to the power increase, but it wasn't as present in the music. The crackling was gone now. The sound stage was larger, but still not notably big. Vocals and instruments now had more noticeable echo to them (as they are supposed to) but it was still not as noticeable as it is intended to be. Finally, I hooked these bad boys up to my current set up which is a Schiit Bifrost DAC and Schiit Lyr 2 headphone amplifier and the results were instantly noticeable. The mid range is beautifully clear and well represented, not more than anything else but not less either. The bass is articulate, defined, present, and deep, but like so few headphones on the market, not overpowering. The treble, is like everything on this headphone, beautifully clear and not piercing whatsoever. The sound stage is wide, and really helps to display the intent of the recording, whether a factory, studio, or basement. Vocals echo as intended. These headphones sound very neutral and really do showcase the track as it was intended. So what about comfort? These headphones are very light and comfortable on my head, the earphones themselves have very wide openings for your ear. I have slightly malformed cartilage in my left ear so usually after about four hours that ear will become slightly fatigued, but I feel nothing on the other ear. In summary, I'm extremely pleased with these headphones due to their well represented ranges and extremely clear audio fidelity, however, if your equipment is not higher grade it will be showcased through the headphones. ... show more
