AKG K612PRO Open-Back Over-Ear Premium Reference Studio Headphones

Product Information

Soundstage: I personally find the soundstage on the large side on this headphone, while it's not huge, it's not really what I call medium sized either, just simply large. The soundstage has good width and the depth and height aren't bad either. The headphone images very well and keeps various musical strands from merging into each other even in busy,complex mixes. Sound-staging is good but not a particularly strong point of this headphone, it keeps everything at a medium distance; not very deep or wide. However that suits me fine as I find headphones that are very adept at sound-staging somewhat artificial in their representation of the music, not really true to life at all. In respect of comfort; there are no issues at all, not for me anyway. The headphone is very light and the clamping force of the earpieces is fairly gentle, the leather headband sits gently on the head too, and the cushions which are soft and pliant don't cause (me) any irritation.

The comfort level is pretty high, but I find the need to reposition the angle of the headband every now and then to maintain the comfort during long periods of use. The headband itself is just not that soft, so my skin doesn't like it. I think this may be more problematic for bald people, but I may be wrong. For the sound section, I will give one certain example per genre which will make my opinions more revealing.The K612 Pro are a couple of over-ear headband headphones that were first purchasable in 2013 and designed by AKG. This Samsung-owned brand owe their severe popularity with the headphone devotees to their accurate and exact audio delivery. Dynamic headphones like the K612 Pro utilise electromagnetic drivers that change its signals into soundwaves and many listeners with dynamic headphones point out that they are more realistic feeling than the others. To conclude, this AKG pair is mostly proper for studio equipments. Headband All Day I came to this headphone after 10 months with a Philips X1. Although the X1 is a good headphone, towards the end of my time with it, I become increasingly dissatisfied with its sound signature.

Obvious features such as the self-adjusting real leather headband, aluminium arches and solid rivets not only provide a lightweight, maximum comfort fit, but also reinforce the quality AKG has provided to studio engineers for decades. Draconian - Bloodflower [24/96 FLAC]: Yeah, feels dark. I was afraid because of the thrash segment. After that I realized that was about signature brightness of Megadeth. It's not that bright here. Well, it's not a direct hit for the genre though. Beyers should be better for that. Female vocals are whole another story, sounds excellent.soundstage is just perfect for my preference, it's not too huge or too airy, and imaging is exceptional for a medium sized soundstage, and can be a great gaming headphone too, if you are into competitive gaming.

Note that those are not the only artists that I've listened. Those are only my favourite ones for the genres I specified.Super-comfortable fully adjustable earpads are held securely in place with a soft leather headband and because the K712 PRO only weigh just over half a pound, you're sure to have an extremely comfortable experience wearing them, just remember to take them off! Key Features: Build Quality: The K612 is a well-made headphone and feels solid in my hands. Only gripe is the cable isn't detachable but it's not really something I'm worried about as the cable quality is good and I take good care of my headphones. The advanced open technology offers comfort for long working sessions and a full, spacious sound. AKG's patented Varimotion diaphragm technology completes the unique sound of the K612 PRO.

Wow. These cans have absolutely blown me away. The treble has settled down completely and now sits perfectly with the bass and mids. The entire spectrum is wonderfully blended without sounding messy or lost, and the imaging seems to have improved as well; the sense of space is more natural and the separation remains consistent without isolating instruments completely from one another. I have owned several other AKGs, including the K240s, the K702 65th Anniversaries, the and Q701 Quincy Jones Signatures (basically the same thing as an updated K701/702). The K612s sound-wise lie somewhere between the K240s and the K7-series, while having a unique sound signature of their own. The frequency response of a pair of earpieces outlines the minimum and the highest frequency it can hit. Ideally, you want both numbers to be as distant as possible from each other for thorough sound delivery. Yet it is worth bearing in mind that a greater range does not promise exceptional audio quality. The said ones are rated at 12 - 39.500 Hz. As attested by connoisseurs, it's invaluable to know if a earpieces's impedance is too high or too low for the wearer's audio device and this one has 120Ω of it. These high impedance ones may not function well with portable audio devices with limited amplifications, yet studio gear would leverage their for a great sound delivery. What about the type of fitting? The circumaural fitting of the K612 Pro doesn't allow for much stability compared to other models with different fittings and certainly would not be a decent companion for your morning jogs. K612 Pro: Idealo's Verdict i dont know if it depends by quality or power of amp but they are special with EF2A and they sound more better with a good dac ( dac of matherboard are not suitable) . Soundstage: The K612 has improvements to the bass, but there will be inevitable trade offs made. One of these to a minor aspect is the soundstage. The K612s just cannot compete with the soundstage on the K701, K702 and Q701. They do however have a more open soundstage than the K240s. Despite not having as wide as soundstage as the leaner K7s, I do find the K612 soundstage more natural due to not having the tendency to pan extremely left and right with mono recordings, causing the center stage to go dead like the K701/K702/Q701s do.As a big fan of the AKG K701, I was hoping for the best with the K-612, but concerned that they might be a disappointment. I needn't have worried - if anything, they sound a little better than the K-701. Midrange: The midrange on this headphone is what some may consider forward, it's delicate, precise, has good dynamics, and just sounds very natural and organic. It's just beautiful sounding. K-612 sounds absolutely incredible. Just as good as M-50 in response, even in bass range, but with slightly different scene. Really no complaints here whatsoever.
