Akg K712Pro Open-Back, Over-Ear Premium Reference Class Studio Headphones, Sophisticated Open Technology, Revolutionary Flat Wire Voice Coil, Broad And Spacious Soundstage, Comfortable Design, Wired

For the price these are a fantastic pair of headphones. Whether you just like listening to music whilst you play games or study, the open-back aspect, the lightness, soft ear muffs and leather makes it feel very comfortable and you can wear them for hours on end without getting sweaty or a headache. Open-backs make it feel a lot more spacious, almost as if you aren't even wearing the headphones, granted you hear background noise but for some depending on where you are it might be a desirable feature. Pair the headphones with a decent AMP or DAC and you will certainly get some banging tunes/audio quality. Personally I have the Topping L30 paired with a D50s and it goes very well with the headphones. So far after 3 years of ownership no dramas, I've dropped them several times and nothing has snapped or broken. All the components have shown barely any signs of wear and tear which is credit to the good quality materials used for the leather and other components. Pros: - Head strap is very flexible and automatically adjusts to your head size making it super easy for anyone to wear them - Ear Muffs easily come off with a twist and pull - Open Back - Super comfortable for long hours of wearing Cons: - MiniXLR adapter (not a common cable) I had to buy a replacement for $50 - You will accidentally forget that you are wearing them because of how soft they are :)

Veramente delle ottime cuffie. Costano, ma ne vale la pena. Ho acquistato questo modello perché sono "Cuffie Aperte" ciò significa che si può anche sentire se qualcuno ti parla mentre le stai usando. E viceversa, dall'esterno si sente il suono di ciò che si sta ascoltando. Questo implica che sono cuffie per utilizzo in ambienti non rumorosi. Molto comodi i cuscinetti "memory" degli auricolari che si adattano perfettamente prendendo la forma del viso (ottimi per me che le utilizzo con gli occhiali). Preferiscono l'utilizzo di un suono amplificato (dovuto alla loro impedenza di 68 Ohm), altrimenti utilizzandole direttamente su un iPhone per esempio o su di un PC, si dovrà alzare il volume al 70-80% e ciò generalmente andrà a discapito della qualità del suono. Cosa che invece non accade con un buon amplificatore. Questo non significa doverle utilizzare ad un elevato volume. Sono infatti cuffie che rendono molto bene ad un volume medio-basso, dove si può apprezzare la loro resa dinamica. Hanno infatti una buona dinamica. Non vengono enfatizzati i bassi. Rendono gli alti in modo cristallino. Sui medi hanno un picco intorno ai 2KHz per poi riabbassarsi e di nuovo rialzarsi intorno ai 3KHz. E' una loro caratteristica che le rende particolari soprattutto nello spettro vocale. Non hanno quindi un comportamento "piatto" nella loro dinamica e questa loro caratteristica le rende molto "interessanti". Volendo, la loro particolare risposta in frequenza può essere sempre compensata a piacimento agendo sull'equalizzatore del nostro Amp. Grazie a questa loro caratteristica dinamica rendono molto bene la separazione degli strumenti ed al tempo stesso hanno una resa nello spettro vocale direi molto "intima" e piacevole. Vengono considerate tra le migliori cuffie per il "Gaming" poiché danno in modo eccezionalmente bene il senso della direzione dalla quale provengono i suoni. Ottime quindi per giochi dove si debba valutare velocemente da che direzione stia arrivando il "nemico". Si ha veramente il senso dello spazio intorno a noi. Non è facile scegliere delle cuffie che si adattino alle nostre esigenze: bisognerebbe poterle provare una dopo l'altra collegate a dell'ottima strumentazione, e valutandole per il tipo di suono, musica ecc. alla quale vogliamo utilizzarle. Non potendo farlo, ho cercato di seguire molte recensioni, specie su Youtube, fatte da professionisti del suono. Ho potuto così restringere la rosa su cui scegliere e, almeno per quelle che sono le mie esigenze, credo di averci indovinato.

En mi caso estaba eligiendo entre los Sennheiser hd600 o estos y me decidí por estos. No soy experto en audio pero ya he tenido otros Sennheiser y para mí,que me gusta escuchar música de todo tipo, necesitaba utilizar algunas herramientas de ecualización para lograr algo agradable. Debo decir que estoy completamente satisfecho con estos audífonos AKG, estos no necesitan ecualización y tienen un poco más de color en los graves, la música moderna se escucha espectacular. Yo recomiendo estos audífonos para escuchar música y jugar videojuegos, solo que son bastante sensibles y la música por streaming como Spotify pues, se nota mucho cuando hay mal calidad de las grabaciones. Simplemente son increíbles yo los combiné con un amplificador soundblaster g6 y aunque es demasiado ampli para ellos el sonido es espectacular.

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.

J'ai passé beaucoup d'année avec un simple casque gaming et Spotify, c'était déjà pas mal mais j'ai fais l'erreur de télécharger un album en flac, puis en Super Audio CD et j'ai compris qu'un upgrade serait utile je n'ai pas encore de DAC pour le moment mais c'est déjà le jour et la nuit en terme de profondeur de son, de qualité, de réponse, le casque ne coupe pas du mon extérieur alors ce n'est pas le plus judicieux en extérieur ou dans un lieu bruyant, Le casque est doux et n'appuie pas sur les barres de lunettes ce qui est primordial pour beaucoup
