If the source is good enogh, Which one would give the best outcome for listening to classical music? Besides Sennheiser, I am also considering beyerdynamic T1 or T90. So a similar question would be "T1+$700 amp? Or T90+$1300 amp?"

Hey guys, I'm kind of new to this site and I'm not even sure if I'm posting in the correct place right now. If I'm not, please move this. I recently purchased a pair of K712s, so far I'm loving them but I've encountered a problem with the left ear cup where it starts buzzing/rattling during...

Havin a hard time deciding which headphone I should buy next. Currently using a HD650 with a Lake People G109. The K712 is about 1/3 of the HD800s price (in germany). I've heard both, and they both were excellent, but 1400$ is a little fortune for me. Any experiences? Which one is the better...

So, I got my ODAC+O2 combo the other day, and I was able to test various headphones with it: DT 880, K240, HD 580, and K612. The Senn HD 580s sound best to me with the combo, since the odac+o2 adds a bit more treble detail than other sources I have used.    I want to stay within the price...

I was wondering if anyone here could recommend an amp for a pair of AKG-K712's, I was thinking about getting the schiit audio valhalla-2 and the bifrost dac or the magni/modi combo but wasn't sure which to get or if there is something that would be better for the headphones.

Hi everybody...i am "michel" french guy, member of french "tellement nomade" audiophil web site. I have bought a "project ember" amp and an AKG K712 recently. Following ASR review on that combo, i am looking for the SUNRISE 12AX7VKA tube....but it's very difficult to find one...it has disapear...

I am looking for a better, bassier, a bit more U shaped, faster but still full-bodied and warm HD600. (I have always preferred the HD600(natural, full-bodied, PRAT, jazz club soundstage) to the HD800 (analytical, a bit plasticy, unreal soundstage, hot)). I will buy a chord hugo and I do a lot of...

Which one should I get to pair with AKG K712's?

Hi there folks,   I'm currently looking for a Headamp for my HD650 and K701 for around 300-500$. I'm not sure if I'll upgrade to the K712 or HD800. That's why I'm looking for an allrounder who can handle alle of those. How about the Lehmann Audio Studio Cube or the Lake People G109? Any...

Hello,   I am your typical newbie who does not know much about amps in general. So I have researching, asking questions, etc... on here and other forums for advice. So here is my dilemma:   I currently have a pair of DT-990s 250 Ohm Pro that I use for gaming/movies. Now I am interested in...

Hi folks......... I'm looking for a pair of headphones to serve as an alternate reference monitor option while mixing in my project studio. I don't need these for tracking, so don't necessarily need a closed design. FYI, my monitor speakers are Genelec 1032As (with and without a 1092 sub) and...

Hi there, I am currently looking to upgrade my headset to something more comfortable and better sounding. Right now I am using the Astro A40s with the SPDIF Output on my Asus Xonar Essence STX (When I plug them in to the 3.5mm jacks I get this loud screeching noise) plugged in to the Astro...

Seeing as I can't find any information on this.   What differences are there between each version and most specifically how do the AKG K702s mechanically differ from the AKG K712s.   Does the AKG K702 have a different foam over the driver to the K701s?   What are the AKG K712 ear pads made of?

Good morning Head-fiers,   Next month, I'm going to NY and I'll buy my first hi-fi cups, but I'm having trouble choosing the best pair for my taste.   One of the main reasons is that I don't have the headphones on hand to test, so I will have to base on some feedback from you head-fiers =P...

Hello,     I am looking for new headphones but don't know which to buy.   I will be using it mainly for gaming but also want to listen a decent amount of music with it. Currently I own the sennheiser momentum which aren't bad but not too great when you're wearing them too long. I have a...

Like almost a year ago when it first came out, love the headphones but I didn't use them that much because they were too big....V-Moda M100 didn't come out at the time, so I didn't get that...and it's 100 dollars more... But now I regret a little for buying COPs...my friend has M100s, they are...

I'm looking to get myself either a Q701 or K712. At $400, the K712 is a bit out of my budget. I might be willing to make the jump, but only if it's worth it. Otherwise, I'll be getting a Q701 for $220 with the K712 ear pads for $60. Which do you think is the better value?

Does anyone own both of these and can compare the two?  I'm really not sure which direction I would like to go (I know they are polar opposites in a lot of ways), and would love to have a comparison.

I am looking to enter into the audiophile world. I'm hoping to find as nice a pair of headphones as possible in the Used Market for around $300, as that fits well into my budget and allows me room to purchase a nice Amp and possibly DAC to pair with them. I will likely have a microphone added to...

Hey I was wondering if someone could tell me if the AKG K712 is a recoloured version of the AKG K702 Annie? I was really interested in the Annie because of Mad Lust Envy's Headphone guide, but the Annie is extremely expensive in germany (569,00 € on amazon o.O). I will be mostly useing it for...

I'm looking for a new pair of headphones to go with my computer, and have narrowed my choices down to the Akg K712s and the Beyer DT990s. I, personally, lean towards the K712's, but wanted a second opinion. I will mainly use these for listening to music and gaming. Which do would be my better...

I am planning on purchasing the AKG K712s and a DAC/Amp to go with them. However, I am unsure of what DAC/Amp combo I should go with. I would prefer to have a tube amp, and keep the price price under $300. I have looked into the Schiit Vali Modi combo, but the Vali seems to have mixed reviews...

I have been looking into getting a new pair of headphones to go with a Schiit Magni/Modi combo connected via optical to the Xonar DG for surround sound, and I'm strongly considering the AKG K712s. I was wondering, however, if they were really worth $350+ or if theirswould be a better more cost...
