  • Excellent headphone with some caveats
I have owned these for several months now, and while I was underwhelmed at first (after break in time) I very much love them now. Their performance is very much dependent upon your source/DAC/amplification. These are extremely detailed headphones. The only other headphones I have to compare to these are Beyer DT770s and Sennheiser HD598s. The AKGs are probably my favorite of the three on most genres. I run them with a Marantz HD-DAC1 most of the time using lossless/hi-res in FLAC. Overall I would say these have great mids/highs, but bass is lacking at lower volumes. The low end presents itself at higher volumes with a little better balance in the sound, but I don't typically like listening that loud. The fix I have found so far is running these headphones using my older rig which is an iBasso DX50 through a bravo audio headphone amp with 12au7 tube. I use slight equalization with the DX50 to the low end +2-3 db at 33 and 60ish hz and that evens it out nicely (everything else flat). The bravo tube amp tempers the highs a little and adds warmth making it sound excellent with metal/harder music. Strengths: ACOUSTIC MUSIC!! Holy cow. Acoustic instruments, classical, Jazz, and blues sound fantastic through these headphones through the HD-DAC1. LOTS of detail, great soundstage, and good balance. Weaknesses: Metal/hard rock music underwhelms in these unless you have some way of fixing the weaker bass response/tempering the highs. When I listen to metal music through the Marantz (which has a little bit of a forward midrange anyway) it gets fatiguing pretty quickly and lacks the low end of the frequency spectrum at typical volumes. On a side note, when you add equalization to the low end, it pays off in spades. These phones are capable of exceptional detail in the bass region without being boomy. I think they sound phenomenal, however, I dislike that I have to add EQ as my preferred DAC/Amp lacks EQ capability. I find these headphones very comfortable, but they are large and a little on the heavy side. So far I have only used the straight cable and haven't used the coiled cable that is included so I have no knowledge of any change to the sound that might ensue should you use it. To give you a vantage point of my preferences, I am a bit sensitive to midrange freqs. The senn hd598s are great, but a little too boomy in the lows. The Beyer dt770s (80 ohm) sound great to me through the marantz hd-dac1 as the v-shaped sound of the beyers is leveled out with the slightly forward and buttery smooth mids of the marantz. The beyer/marantz combo is my preferred setup for harder music. Hopefully, I have kept this review intelligible. ... show more

  • An excellent introduction into high end headphones.
There are plenty of reviews raving about these and I have to back them up. These are insane headphones. For the cost, they better be fantastic, and thankfully they are on all fronts. I've been using these for a few months now and while they're not perfect for every situation, for what they're built for they're unbeatable. First, and most important, sound quality. These are absolutely outstanding as you'd hope. Everything I've played through these sounds incredible; classic R&B, 60s jazz, lo-fi indie rock, pummeling death metal, and booming hip-hop all sound stellar. The soundstage on these make it feel like you're not even wearing headphones in a quiet room; I've heard it described as "VR for your ears," and that's an accurate statement. On live recordings like John Denver's "An Evening With John Denver," you can point to where individual instruments are situated, and on Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry" on the Live At The Roxy album, it feels like you're in the front row with the entire crowd around you. It's really hard to describe just how good these sound without hearing them for yourself. They're a little more exciting than your standard studio monitor headphones that go for completely flat frequency responses, but for general music listening that isn't a bad thing at all. Second, comfort. These are decently heavy and bulky headphones, but they don't feel like it. Suspension style headbands like AKG tends to favor are my favorite, and it's on full display here. The leather headband just disappears as you put these on, and the wide swivel means these will fit basically anyone with little issue. The earpads on here are insanely comfortable and thanks to the large driver size, my decently big ears can comfortably sit inside without touching anywhere on them. They're also deep enough that you have a decent distance from the speaker, something that isn't true of some of my other headphones such as Audio Technica M40Xs or even my other AKGs, the K240s. The build quality on these also feels great. They're all plastic which is a downside to some, but plastic quality does vary, and these are definitely made of quality materials. I've seen reports of the suspension system wearing down and breaking with heavy use, and if that happens I'll update this review, but it feels very secure as of now and everything has a great finish. I especially appreciate the ability to remove the cable as well as providing two different sized cables for different use cases. With all these positives though, don't buy these expecting to use them on a train or a bus. Not only are they difficult to drive off of a phone thanks to their relatively low sensitivity, they're completely open so they leak all the sound out with little to no isolation. These aren't commuter headphones (for those I would recommend AKG's own K371s or any of the multitude of fantastic IEMs out of China that have been dubbed Chi-Fi), they're for home listening and they excel at it. To be clear, they aren't exceedingly hard to drive, but you might be disappointed at the volume out of a phone or laptop depending on what you're using. I'm usually using these out of a Sony STR-DH190 stereo amplifier and that provides plenty of power. When I'm at home and I really want to just listen to music, these are what I'm going for 99% of the time. Depending on the genre I might reach for my Grado SR60x's just for the extra high end, but these are the best all around. $300+ is a lot of money for a pair of headphones, but if music is really important to you and you can afford it, these are worth the spend. If you want to explore cheaper options, there are plenty in the $50-120 range that will give 70-90% of the sound, such as the SHP9500 from Phillips even the cheaper planar options from Hifiman. But having heard them before, the AKG K712s are still insanely good, and I'll keep using them for as long as possible. ... show more
