There is a good amount of debate going on over on the AKG K812 thread right now about Tyl Hersten's apparent decision not to review the AKG K812.  As of this writing Tyl appears to have declined to review the AKG K812 largely based on measurements.  I respect this decision and Tyl's work.   ...

In the $500-$700 bracket we have the: - Shure SRH 1840 - HE-500 - Sennheiser 6xx series   How much worse do these headphone sound in comparison to headphones in the $2000 range like the: - Sennheiser HD-800 - LCD-3 - AKG K812   Without taking into account the costs of the amplifiers...

Please please. I want to try them all and make a decision that which one is for my taste.

Hello guys!   I would like to ask for some help with respect to my future headphones for quiet listening in the evening. My equipment is Bryston (BDP-1 player, BDA-2 D/A converter, BHA-1 headphone amplifier) and Sennheiser HD800 with it's CH800S cable. What I would like is to have a pair of...

I owned my D5000 and T5P for half a year. Now it's time to have something different. I'm looking for a pair of headphones coming as a complementation instead of a replacement. Any recommendation between K812 and GS1000i? Or any other cans?

Hi,   Doing some research here.    Many products claim to support "600 ohm headphones", so I tried to find out what these are. Doing a search on Google and here reveals only the Beyerdynamics headphones. Are there any other headphones that has a 600 ohm impedance? I checked the Sennheiser HD...

So, this is pretty embarrassing and strange but I will say it anyways. I love bright treble and high frequency sound. Even when I use bright headphones or earphones, such as AKG K812, Sony EX1000, or Hidition New Tears 6, I increase the treble with EQ. Crazy stuff, but it gets even more crazier...

I was in China in April 2014 to buy a AKG's k812 headphones, serial number 001512 U.S. line price is 8988 yuan. Personal is very popular AKG products, tuning it to my liking. Did little to help 812 in jars talking on the headset can also be said to be a plus cherish it.    However, the fact...

Having heard some old-time goodies like Sennheiser HE-90, Stax Omega II and Sony R10, and owning 5 pairs of AKG K1000 currently, I have not been particularly impressed with the previous generation of flagship headphones (HD650, K702, DT880, some woody Audio Technicas) for playing classical and...

Beats headcans hold a very special place in my headcan heart - why? well, if it wasn't for beats, I wouldn't be here today - my first headphones I ever laid serious green on was the Monster beats wireless, bought from online Apple store. I still proudly own these very cans today, and yes I say...

It's been a few years now since we got the HD800 and T1, and it seems to me that all new headphones being released are planars or low impedance dynamics, like the Fostexs or K812.    Do you guys think we'll see new high impedance headphones anytime soon? It would be great to see something like...

Right now I'm looking at the HD598. I'm looking for the best headphones that has only 1 wire connecting to it (a lot of the better headphones have 2 wires, 1 on each side of the earcups).   Is there anything better than the HD598? In terms of SQ and comfortability. Price is no issue.

I'm looking to buy the HD800 or the AKG K812 next week probably.    AKG K812: - has higher %TDH than some $200 headphones - has treble issues which mid-fi headphones don't even have + works with my current DAC + AMP according to the thread in summit-fi HD800: - amplifier requirements...

Hey everyone, I am a reference headphone virgin and am looking for my first set of cans. I saw that AKG is coming out with the K812 as their new flagship, and I'm really interested. What is everyone's opinion on these headphones? Is there a targeted MSRP out yet? Furthermore, I'll also be...
