The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread
after many years of AKG K712pro (Austria), I bought another used like new pair. And this time it was Slovakian made. To me, the Slovakian one sounds better. To my disbelief, I was lucky to find one for $285 from Amazon. Ebay are selling them for $500 used, I guess these AKG's must be...- swifty7

For example, my gigabyte z170 g1 gaming 5 motherboard on board sound ( Realtek ALC1150) sounds excellent with a bit of EQ with my AKG K712pro. I of course use a...- swifty7

I've heard that the newer revisions don't sound as audiophile as the older ones. Also, there are the ones made in China to look out for which you don't want.- swifty7

The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread
today the right channel of my k712pro went kaput :'( I'm so very pissed, they were great cans. Does anybody know how can I fix it or something? I wouldn't mind buying them again but I want the ones with the old revision made in Austria (like mine) and not the newer artificial sounding...- swifty7

take it from someone who knows, the k712 are notorious in needing lots of current to be driven properly. That's why it sounds best when used with tube amps.- swifty7

what I meant was one fully assembled with the mini xlr and 3.5 connector. that's an incredible value for 10 feet silver plated cable. If only I had the skills to put it together myself.- swifty7

I want a cable that sounds better than stock with the same length but I don't want to pay something ridiculous for it. Silver would have been optimal but they're way out my price range for 10 feet.- swifty7
