    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

    does anyone feel their ears hurt after say 30 so mins of listening? I thought they were much more comfy than previous headphones, with being lighter and all but finding more pressure on the ear, is this something to get use too?    may need to inc a ear workout in my routine :P. seriously...

    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

    After reading about the web apparently they are similar to the K7XX, with less bass. Might be the "too big" you say of :).   I received my "replacement", I decided to open and also check the solder on the right side to see if I was just a fluke. Turns out not, this model was 2000 units below...

    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

    These are supposedly made is Solvakia. On another forum, a member had some k7XX made in china with the exact same problem as me, a weak solder and a loose red wire. I guess I will keep them, but do feel I overpaid at £180, but since I got them from amazon and not imported from US via massdrop I...

    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

    Well they are working fine now so cannot send them back as defective. At least I know these have good (ahem, a good enough blob) of solder on the right can now. I am undecided as I suspect quality is pretty much the same throughout each set coming out the factory. Bad luck I suppose, I really...

    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

     I soldered it this morning . All is good. Put a slight extra on the other end of the wire too as that was hardly attached. I don't mind fixing things myself, just incredible annoying after owning them for a few hours for them not function correctly.   Decided to solder and cancel my...

    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

    Yes very unfortunate :(. I was hoping to avoid problems by not going the AK7XX route on massdrop but seems quality issues are spread across. Not pleased, was not so pleased with K550's although warranty for a replacement was great they didn't last much longer. Was so hyped for a great sounding...

    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

    curiosity got the better of me and unscrewed the cup to find a unhooked red wire. Do I solder back on or go with a replacement? Never done much soldering but have one laying around if need be, the wire will need stripping, have a pic but cant post yet.    They sounded so damn good, so for that...

    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

    Just bought the K712 Pro off amazon for £180, looking forward to my replacement of my k550, which I got a warranty replacement on a known problem. Only for the same to happen again, but this time I fixed myself with some gorilla glue. Now 2 years later I order K712's and I am blown away by the...
