AKG K712PRO Studio Wired On Ear DJ Headphones (Black)

AKG K712 Pro is an extremely versatile monitors with an exceptionally wide sound-stage, right up there among the widest staging headphones. It's made in Slovakia, and is very comfortable and light weight, you can wear them all day listening to your favorite songs without any issue or discomfort. These have a dynamic, energetic and exciting sound signature, and have very clean and robust drivers with some of the best ear-cups, that makes your listening experience a blissful delight. These have extremely wide range of sound stage and airy representation, instruments and vocals have plenty of breathing space as well due to open back design. They have deep, extended bass response, warm and energetic mid range, highs are very dynamic and bright without being sharp. You can listen to any genre of music without having single thought. You need an amp or DAC to drive these monitors because of higher impedance of 62 Ohms, these will sound average on a Laptop or a Mobile. You also need to burn-in these monitors for about 30 hours, to get an optimum result, more you listen better they sound :)

I already own the MKII 240 series but I was finding it to be rather dull sounding with a somewhat muddy low end. K712 is quite an upgrade from the 240 and I find its sound to be quite well balanced specially the low end. I had been using the 240 for a few years now and I got the K712 a few months back, I suppose I won't be going back to the 240 henceforth. The high end has enough clarity, which has to be said since clarity can tend to lean towards a more brighter sound in headphones. The comfort level also is quite amazing even after long hours of listening. This is really well suited for mixing, in fact I'm prefering it more than the monitors even, simply due to the closeness with the sound you feel, the comfort and also since I don't seem lose too much perception compared to the monitors. The cover that comes with it seems to be the icing on the cake, a much needed thing it is. The only concern I have is the seemingly flimsy nature of the wire compared to that of the 240, probably I'm wrong regarding its durability which will be evident with time. The concern is only in comparison but otherwise seems fine only.

First good news ! Made in Slovakia!! I am very happy. Build is good and comfort is very good as if nothing on ear or head. Now sound, it is very very good. It is clear,clean with no irritating edge. Bass is normal. Actually it is a balanced headphone with enjoyable sound . Mid and treble is perfect. Voice is sweet and oozing emotion ,treble is soothing not irritating. Overall the sound is very pleasing and can be listen for hours. Yes, you can hear direct from good mobile phones ,I tested it from Samsung s8 plus and s 20 plus. Generally reviews confuse with technical jargon like mid bass, upper mids ,sibilance ,kz 20 ,kz20000 etc . Put these technicals aside, the sound should be clear and pleasing and here AKG712 PRO is impeccable. Do not hesitate ,just buy. Highly recommended as top headphone.

This is headphone tried and tested for several years - yet loved and adored. These cans have amazing soundstage. The low-end is terrific for an open back. The imaging is just like sitting in an live theatre. The treble is smooth and no evidence of sibilance or irritation. You can go on for hours and hours without fatigue. The mid is just about right, I have no complaints. The pads are memory foam and fit well over a pair of glasses. The one star is reduced for a sub-par elastic mechanism which might break easily and the underwhelming build quality. Note - don’t let the 62 Ohm and 105 SPL fool you. These cans sound much better with a poweful source and PLEASE don’t use it without amping.

May be my search for a good headphone ends here. Low is deep Highs and Mid excellent. Sound is Wide open. Comfort is like soft and velvety Over all a steal for 19k.

Great comfort, great sound. Nice stereo image and very pleasant frequency curve. No unwanted bumps or harsh frequency boosts. Enjoying these for casual listening. Very much useful for mixing. Frequency curve sounds similar to k240 studio, but with great bass and great detail. Just buy. No regrets.

Liked - great soundstage and imaging as my primary use was movies and gaming. For the same use case comfort is also important as listening sessions are longer on avg, the large velour ear pads are soft and airy for better comfort. Dislikes - Packing and handling - Appario takes the seal off from the main box and it looks as if it's a used/returned stock which it could be but no way to tell. Harman India confirmed it I emailed them. Also the box condition looks beaten up, comes in single plastic cover no extra cardboard box. Ordered a replacement after the first delivery, slightly better condition on the box 2nd time but still has signs of damage on the box. Product was safe. Also you'd need a dedicated amp to drive this. I paired it with the fiio k5 pro and goes upto 12 o'clock on med gain for it get just above comfortable volume. 11 o'clock for background listening.

AKG K712 is a very good open studio reference headphones. stereo image better than K701. if you are working long hours with headphones.. this would be a cool choice,, worth the penny..
