  AKG K812 Pro

 

(overall text, please look at http://www.head-fi.org/t/684779/new-akg-k812-pro/225#post_9878425)

 

4) Conclusion

I repeat what I said in the first lines. This is the best sound emanating from any headphone I’ve come across.

 

Usually I’m mostly negative about headphones the first time I hear them and very rarely get wowed right at the off. I eagerly await the release of this headphone as well as the reviews and listening impressions of other headfiers.

 

To conclude, AKG have finally delivered. Their flagship is here, a £1000 headphone which will establish a concrete place in the listening pleasures of plenty.

  Heck, literally 6 hours after I last heard the k812, I can still hear it virtually. It’s left that much of an imprint on my mind making it pretty easy I feel to review. Just so memorable.

But you can't buy a new Sony Qualia anymore so it's pointless to compare the K812 to it.

I have a question again! If normal humans ears can only hear up to 20Hz to 20KHz, why AKG K812 Pro has a frequency range of 5Hz to 54KHz? @.@ it sound extreme to me

I know, its just that I found them to be similar in some ways, nothing more, so, why not compare.
