Reviews about Headphones AKG K 712 Pro
- Pluses: – Sound! These are not muttering Bitsy for you. Here the frequency response is smoother, and the detail, and the scene. – The landing is very comfortable. – Weight. – Build quality.
- Disadvantages: – Twisted wire is too stiff and tends to keep the twisted shape even where it is not needed. – Price in Russia. It is better to order from Germany, with delivery they come out 2.5 times cheaper.
- Disadvantages: I took them to replace the AKG K99, which after 3 hours of work pressed very hard on my ears. Heaven and earth. Not only does the K712 sound better, but its excellent fit also keeps your head and ears from getting tired. They are practically weightless.

- Advantages: The convenience of the headphones of this company is undeniable. The headband is very comfortable, does not press and does not cause discomfort, and most importantly, you do not need to adjust the arc under someone's head every time. Put on and that's it. A role model for other firms. The cups are huge, the ears feel great there. Someone complained and wrote that the ears touch the bottom of the cups and hurt, I can't imagine how this could be, they are very deep. Maybe some have auricles of completely indecent sizes, but this is already their problem))). Two cords included – convenient. Light weight, do not cause discomfort on the head at all, you can sit for many hours continuously. Sound. Warming up the headphones was not as crazy as I thought. The new ones sounded good out of the box, but not as balanced and detailed as after a while. The low ones were initially good, but they became even thicker and denser. The sound is, in principle, analytical, shows what is happening in the phonogram, the reverb tails and other micro-details are clearly audible. Indeed, many processing things in these headphones can be done with high precision without resorting to monitors. In terms of sound, they differ sharply from the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO and the like, there are no inflated basses and bulging free-flowing “branded” tops. The sound can be described as smooth (reference). The soundstage is moderately large. Too inflated scene can “break up” the recording into its components, this is not here. The detail is high, but not prohibitive. The DT 990 seems to be higher, but I listened to them for a long time, so I won't say for sure. On the other hand, extremely high detail has the side effect of getting tired quickly, so some kind of compromise is important. Good instrument separation and virtual stage construction
- Disadvantages: Velor ear pads tend to pick up dust and debris over time, but velor is velor. You can clean it, no problem. But comfort and ears don't sweat
- Disadvantages: Overall, very satisfied. It's a pity we have no stores in Moldova where you could compare many models, you have to focus on different reviews, forums and reviews, and what to do. All in all a great tool for working and listening with high quality. Just do not connect to cheap and low-power sources. Do not think that if there are only 62 Ohms, then you can stick into any “hole”))). This is not entirely true. Loudness may be overflowing, but don't confuse loudness and quality. These are two different things. Verdict: I definitely recommend it, although the price will be high for many. I was lucky and I bought them for almost half the price

- Pluses: Good sound
- Disadvantages: After 2-3 months, the cable was rubbed, since it was a spare one in the kit. After 1.5 years, they broke down and it's not about the cable.
- Disadvantages: The assembly is not of high quality, the wire is cheap, creaks. Of course, in the beginning everything was cool, but a year passed and their condition worsened greatly. Sunheisers are simply not killed by comparison.

- Pluses: Sound, sound and more sound! Assembly, comfort of how to sit on the head, sensitive to settings
- Disadvantages: I don't like the design, but it does not affect the sound
- Disadvantages: I changed old sleepyheads. I've heard different reviews about AKG, from delight to fu, don't take it. I listened to it in the store through the player, was pleased with the sound. At home, I connected Schiit Magni 2Uber and Schiit Modi 2 Uber to the highway. Here is heaven and earth. Headphones need good amplifiers if they want decent sound. I am satisfied with the assembled system
Alexey Ivanov
- Pluses: Light, very light … The top is not sandy, quite flat, the middle does not fall.
- Disadvantages: Not a lot of bass, but I hope this is only before warming up such sensations.
- Disadvantages: I changed my old Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro for AKG K712 PRO, and I absolutely do not regret it. It's much easier to work in AKG, ears don't get tired from the sharp top, at least mine)

- Advantages: Well, everyone has already written everything. But at the first listening, the scene immediately attracts attention, it is beautiful, deep, the details of this very depth are heard. Lungs, you can spend a whole day in them without much straining, even fell asleep in them more than once. Two cables included is a great bonus. The elasticated headband is perfectly complemented by the resistance of the suede-like ear pads. Even on a regular audio iron, they sound magical and honest enough. External sounds don't really break through.
- Disadvantages: The design will come down of course, but probably for the 21st century you can already think of something like that, although I don't see any point in overpaying for the design, since the headphones are not outdoor. Due to the large size of the ear pads, the headphones require some positioning relative to the ears, the sound changes, I don't know if this is really worth considering as a drawback, rather a warning.
- Disadvantages: I have been choosing headphones from the middle segment for a very long time, AKG of course have long won my ear, so the choice fell on them. I saw today's price tag on them and was stunned … Now the toad would not let go. How now to save up and buy a DAC for them, sadness.

- Disadvantages: I don't even know how to describe the whole headphone experience. It's better to look at Dr. Head and head-fi org. However, I will still note something about my feelings after switching to them from my old HD 558. The landing is not perfect, as it might seem. I don't like the fact that the inside of the ears is touching the sponge-covered walls of the driver. This is not forgivable in my opinion for such an expensive model. It seems to be such huge headphones, but the ears touch, well, it would be necessary to make a little deeper on the floor, at least. Although after listening to them for more than 2 months I have already got used to it and do not even notice. Compared to any closed “ears”, they are simply weightless and do not press at all. The sound in them is excellent (airy, not driving, large sound resolution, high detail). Naturally, when buying such a model, you definitely need to have at least a budget audio path, including a DAC and an amplifier. Listening from Realtek is extremely stupid. It has Asus Xonar D1 and Bravo amp Audi o ocean. I'm more or less satisfied with the sound, but now I would take a more expensive path.

- Pluses: Looks good, sounds great, amazingly light.
- Disadvantages: Requires a long “warm-up”, requires a preamplifier, requires a calm environment. Some requirements are shorter.
- Disadvantages: I bought headphones in December 2014. I chose between them, 702 and 701 QJ. I decided not to go cheap and took 712. Arriving at the store for a preview, I was disappointed. They are positioned by the manufacturer as a pre-flagship, “cooler” only K812. But I didn't hear the “super majestic sound”, then I realized why. Firstly, the amplifier was a tube amplifier, from fashionable, to “as in the time when the grass was still greener.” Secondly, the record was “the very psi-rock that shook the world” 60s-70s. It is logical that through the “warm” amplifier, trying to listen to frequencies, I heard nothing but “warm tube” in these headphones. Why am I listening to frequencies? Because one of the distinguishing features of the K712Pro is “Improved low-end performance by 3dB”. For the above reasons, I was a little disappointed. But the stereo picture immediately declared itself. It is very clear and understandable where and what from the first seconds. I connected them to the iPhone 5, but, of course, it does not really pull them. A little upset, I came home with the purchase. Through the “honest” amplifier, the NI Komplete 6 sound card, the sound was much less cluttered with the “vintage” junk rumored to be appreciated by musicophiles. After listening to various recordings, modern and not so, I was pleased with the accuracy of the sound, but the bass did not show up. However, after a month of incessant scrolling of music, films and everything else (in quiet mode, sadly hanging on a stand – the main signal went through the monitor speakers), I put them on again, and was pleasantly surprised. Finally, the hint of bass turned into a real bass. Now the double bass in the orchestra and the reese bass from Noisia sounded right. I want to warn you right away – if you are going to stick them through the Line In of your old laptop in order to listen to low-quality slag on VKontakte, you will be disappointed. These headphones are extremely demanding on the sound source (preamplifier, sound card) and the quality of the material. They are perfect for mixing, mastering, listening to high-quality music, you can sit in them for a long time without getting tired. And the orange wire – well, cool?

- Pluses: Sane combination of price and quality. Hand-assembled in Austria. For long wearing. They do not press and do not fall. Low weight. Two cables included – straight and twisted. The sound is a separate song.
- Disadvantages: Funny, sitting on the head))) Like a kokoshnik. Requires a good in-ear amplifier.
- Disadvantages: Surprised that there are no reviews yet. Until I bought the 712, I thought that I had good headphones. And the 712s immediately put everything in place. Everything is almost ideal here and bass and mids and highs. You can hear both the attack and the tone of the bass instrument itself. And not only bass. Headphones emit not only sounds of different heights, but the sound of plastic on the kick drum is heard in the drum part. Celceki with a pick and feeling of strings. As much air as you can imagine. I am sure that it will be difficult to find something better in the price tag of about 20,000 rubles. Yes. I listen with a very good teac ha-501 ear amp. SACD images. So I can judge almost objectively. It must be remembered that the sound is transmitted not only by headphones, but also by the equipment that initially reproduces the sound. And these headphones require a good path.
