    This will be a somewhat compact review and comparison to the HiFiMAN HE-400, they're roughly the same price around here. Starting with some pictures.             Accessories While I don't consider accessories that important I guess I should mention them. K712 comes with a straight and a coiled cable, 6,3mm adapter, and a carrying pouch. HE-400 comes with the stock cable, 6,3mm adapter and a carrying pouch.   Comfort The comfort of the K712 is good. The headphones weight is 235g which is very light considering their size. The...

    I got to try these out when my brother bought them for his casual computer use.   The headphones are very light, and have quite comfortable cloth pads and headband.
