Hm, I'm not gonna buy K?812 just because they have more bass and can play louder than Q701. I can get deaf in 15 min if i want to now with my Q701, and while a little more bass would be okay, I guess that's why they made K712... What I'm interrested in is some more 360' 3D sound. Better...

@ Nomax: Can you say something about the differences between Q701 and K812? I have both Q701 and K550 in my collection of headphones. AKG has so far the sound signature I like the most from the different headphones brands I have heard.

Thanks a lot for this review Jude.   I saw you held a french dac (don't remember the name now..) Do you have any comment on that one? And have you heard the Project Ember amp?

I really miss my Shure 940. They got broken after some op-amp testing... my fault thou... Got Shure 1840, Mad Dog, AKG 550 Soundmagic 100 and CAL. I'm considering strongly to buy them again. Female voices are pure magic on them in my view!

Well, first there were a big unbalance between L and R. To me it seems like the membranes was touching some part, so you got a very noticeable "scratch" sound. Super annoying!  The seller guaranteed me some new ones, so I have given him a 2'end chance. If the new pair also malfunction I will...

Finally got the Mad Dog today... They took their time to travel to Norway... But it was really worth waiting for them :) To early to comment too much about their quality's, but paired with my Project Sunrise ii and Hegel HD 11 DAC they sound amazing out of the box!

Jeremy is very communicative and a really nice person to deal with. I have soon had my premade Sunrise for a year. It works like a Swiss made clock. I'm curious about the new Ember amp they make. Another very good amp I can recommend is Custom Hifi Cables HA10SE. It's soundstage is even more...

If anyone can try them with alpha pads and give some comments it would be great!!   Can anyone compare AKG k550 witch I got with Yamaha pro 500?

just saying I have the PSii and are very satisfied! I have tried some ecc88 tubes like Phillips, Sylvania, JJ and the standard tube. Very interesting thread, and I might leave some impressions about tubes later on :).

Be aware! Due to the good reviews I wanted these headphones. Sadly there were no dealers in my country so I bought them from an Chinese seller with good feedback's from Ebay. I got them delivered today, and the seal on the box was broken. The plastic around the hard case was at the bottom of the...

Quote:   Thanks for your reply. I can't see any reply from you in my email inbox, but it don't matter since you are so active and supportive in this thread as well. I did check with my official post service... maybe they are stuck in transit in another country before they are coming to...

I look forward to hear My Mad Dog....when they finally arrive! They got sent from LA the 23'th to my country.... all tracks from that day is like zero, and I'm still waiting for a reply from Dan... I just got scammed with some Soundmagic hp 100 from China.... Just another bad day I suppose...

Thanks for your replay Mrspeakers. I understand your frustration about the ordering issue. When I now logged in on your website I can see you have handled my order. Thank you :).  

I have put on some Shure pads on mine CAL's. The fitting is not perfect but the sound is extremely good for a headphone in this price range. The bass become much more natural, and that affects the mid's in a positive way. I have them properly amped thou, but I guess the improvement would be...
