I'm glad I did not pull the lever on the AKG K712s yet. I just found out that the ear pads are $90 which is ludicrous at best and one can't get them even if they wanted to anyway because AKG does not have any customer service. Even the website is not fully functional, I challenge anybody to even pull up a dealer list on the AKG website). It's rather telling to me that they don't care.
So, while I thought the K712s would be a good upgrade from my Senn HD518s, now it doesn't look like such a good idea. I'm not paying that kind of money for product with no support or what could be disposable plastic cans (and not made in Austria as claimed, to boot). I'm very disappointed, but thank goodness I did not purchase them yet and found this out beforehand.
Any other headphones that would be similar to the K712s perhaps that I could look at to upgrade from my 518s that are $400 or less?
