Review: Amazing sounding headphones - I wanted a fun cheaper end headphone to add to my collection. I see a lot of discussion about the EU or china made ones but thankfully my set are made in the EU. Currently also own the Audeze LCD X & Sennheiser HD 700 and running the Zen Stack for dac/amplification Build: They feel like a cheap toy to be honest however for the price I cant fault it too much, the pads are very comfortable and my ears fit nicely without any touching into the pads. The strap on the top does touch the top of my head and was a little annoying at first however I have gotten used to it and overall I am pleased with how they sit on my head. Sound: They are a very well rounded headphone, everything just fits together very cohesively without even an EQ applied. The soundstage is very impressive and you can hear notes extend very wide, they rival my Sennheiser HD 700 in terms of soundstage. However it isn't as good when the music is going left to right very quickly but they do the job. The midrange is very pleasant and vocals are very clear, I actually much prefer vocals on these than the HD 700's. There is just a right amount of bass I feel with these cans, I do have the Xbass button on the Zen Cans so they do help bring up the bass as some have noted its very light however with the Xbass its more than adequate. Some tracks had a very bright highs and I had to turn the volume down however this was only for certain tracks like "More bounce to the ounce". Overall: Very pleased with the sound. very enjoyable and fun to listen to especially for the price and gives me a good alternative to listen to. I had the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 pro's and I remember hating them but the AKG K712's are a great all round headphone. The biggest knock against them is the build however the sound/comfort are more important in my mind.
Review: What an excellent pair of open back headphones these are ! - This is not a long winded audiophile type review. They are simply an excellent all-round studio quality, very accurate monitoring standard headphone. They are no where near as warm as an equivalent Sennheiser if you are leaning toward a sound that to some feels more 'musical' They are also not going to give you the urge to have a rest after a couple of hours that a Beyer Dynamic would need as the treble frequencies are not pushed upon you as a pair of DT-880 or 990's might. After a little bit of 'bedding in' they have become one of the best open headphones I have heard before you need to spend double the price to hear much of an improvement over these. They also make gaming feel that much more enjoyable for anything with a great soundtrack or where you need to pick out sounds to help with your game progress. They have an excellent open soundstage that helps in every game type where the audio is a big part of the enjoyment. They will work happily being driven by a mobile device if you wanted or even on-board audio for a PC or a laptop. I would imagine most people purchasing these would be using an external DAC and a headphone amplifier to get the very best out of them as I have. Anyone making an remarks about the build quality must be totally mistreating them. They are certainly not a pair of 'DJ' headphones you are going to sling in a box with piles of cables and other equipment and treat as though they are 'industrial'. Very light on the head and the leather headband needed a little flexing to make it a bit more supple before long term use. Overall these are highly recommended.

A: Just tecieved a pair in June 2018, they state Made in Slovakia on them.

**Q: How is the noise bleed?  i.e. will someone at the desk next to me hear anything at moderate volume?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best headphones I have owned - 2 year update!
*by S***T on 15 June 2020*

If you looking small stylish big bass headphone, these are not for you. They are cyberman large but just supper comfortable. Open back gives room scale sound and I hear so much more than I every had in the past. Plenty reviews out there prising these and they lived up to expectations. Edit: I have had these for some time now and I thought it worth updating this review. The main reason being the time it take to bed these headphones in to get the best performance from the drivers. The above review was written at around the 40 hour mark, a fair time to hear the best they had to offer I thought. But I was wrong. It is only after 100+ hours that these headphone truly come into their own. Both the highs and lows just continue to improve. I can not recommend these highly enough. Edit 2: I've been using these headphones as my main drivers every day for well over 2 years now. I was doing a bit of mastering this week and switching between different speakers and head phones. I have recently added some KRK Rokit G4's to my speaker sets. Even though both the AKG 712's and the KRK G4's sell them selves as flat neutral monitor / studio devices they both know to have a "sound". This makes them nicer for general usage but has its down sides in the studio. But switching between the two they have an identical sound to my ears. So for those wondering if these are right for them, If you like the KRK sound you will really like these and if using these to master with, treat them in the same why you would treat a pair of KRK speakers and use a lot of extra reference sources. Still my very favourite headphones with the only down side being the need for 50+ hours running in required to get the best out of them. If I ever need to replace I would run them two days straight on the stand before ever putting them on my head. 10/10
