K712 Pro

“the 712 fell way short with boosted bass that created a muddled midrange and a tepid soundstage not as pinpoint accurate and open as the other 7 series.”

“Recommendation for the AKG 712 Pro, and perhaps tryout the k702 earcups for more detailed sound and wider soundstage.”

“Yeah these headphone are just made to enjoy the music instead of critical listening. When you turn the volume up you try to get more detail out of them but you don't get it.”

“I find the soundstage to be too distant which makes it hard to pinpoint faint sounds (CS:GO). I like them for some music although they fatigue me a bit.”

“I keep coming back to them frequently as I love their weight, fit and sound, especially for mixing music.”

“There’s a hole in the mids and the treble is too much for me. Otherwise I’d call it a warm headphone”

“I gave up on my K712Pros. I felt the soundstage was unnaturally large and imaging was “meh”.”

“The bass on the 712 is perfect, dunno why you would wanna change it, especially in comparison to the 702.”

“Man i liked them too but they fucken broke randomly adter like 2 years along with my amp, just completely blew out the left side somehow”

“It's a similar sounding headphone except it does pretty much everything a little better.”

“I like the sound of the AKGs but ended up giving them to my wife because they slide down my ears and get uncomfortable over time.”

“I have a pair of k712 and none of the people that heard them found them too bright (including myself).”

“as an owner of the K712 Pro, it is one of the best headphones for gaming the soundstage is incredible”

“These only sound good for a couple of genres and were decent for its time, but aren't really anything by modern standards.”

“The AKGs are not one of them--very hard to distinguish where sounds are coming from.”

“The sound is just so much clearer and precise, and I can pump it to ear shattering levels. SO PUMPED.”

“I had the same experience with K712, ordered and tried twice only to return them.”

“I don't think the K712s are bad, but they're very different from any other AKG headphone”

“Also I didn’t even like them for the price I got them for honestly.”

“I was a little bit disappointed because they sounded far from classic Austrian K701.”

“Otherwise great headphones! Excellent for gaming and watching movies (ofc music as well).”

“712 is very colored so only works with some music or gaming rather than everything”

“I loved the K712 Pro when I had it. It is by far my favorite headphone at that price.”

“It also lacked some of the openness and detail of the 701 imo.”
