Product Information

It’s lightweight and nimble enough to where you’re rarely feeling it on the top of your dome piece either. Yes they can be enjoyed at lower volumes but it's like driving a Ferrari on a motorway at steady 65 mph (steady without frills). The K712 PRO is buttery smooth and soft on the low end with more quantity than the previous K-Series headphones in the past. Listening to Leonard Cohen "In My Secret Life" or Melody Gardot "My One and Only Thril" puts you right in the room with a performer who sings just for you and it makes you feel special. The AKG K712 Pro is a direct descendent of the classic K701, using a very similar physical design, but a different driver.

Expect a very nice stereo width with good separation qualities and good height, a solid low end combined with a solid midrange makes this headphone fairly well-rounded. Layers upon layers of synths and instruments on Enya's "Caribbean Blue" present themselves in immaculate fashion. The K712 comes with three metre spiral you can utilise, although there’s a conventional alternative coming in at the same length. For a quick overview, the simple view also gives you the opportunity to evaluate the sound characteristics of the test candidate at a glance. In the case of the K240 (or true similar models), some may be trying to burn-OUT something built-in - negative impulse reactions that make the top end a bit trippy.

It also boasts a slight bass boost which is a fun addition, with the feature sure to impress hi-fi enthusiasts who like their music warm and immersive, rather than cold and clinical. B. Most people hear mid frequency better than high, therefore to ACCURATELY reproduce high frequency in audio equipment, there must be a bump to those frequencies or they will be lost to the middle. The other thing I noticed about the 9500 (and this is something I’ve said for a long time) is that its ability to pick out micro-detail is just so incredibly good – to the point where things in the game actually feel and sound more fully fleshed out. Its advanced Varimotion 30 mm XXL transducers deliver solid low end, accurate mids and crystal-clear highs.

Headphone measurements by definition are approximate and variable so don't be surprised if other measurements even if performed with the same fixtures as mine, differ in end results. I even thought Pandora was the worst audio I ever heard with the K7XX as everything sounded to mufflied turned out it was the K7XX the whole time, sure we all know Pandora isn’t the best or anything but it seriously sounded bad to me.The K712s ability to accurately-reproduce every nuance with outstanding clarity means you can hear everything. Both great songs to test vocal performance, texture in the vocals are brought about immaculately, including the breath of the vocalists on the mic. When playing audio back throughout the rest of the frequency range, things are relatively linear and balanced. It will sound sibilant and harsh if your track happens to sound that way, so do not expect a forgiving experience and soft-natured upper regions on his headphone.
