thanks, I knew the K712pro are definitely made in Austria, just wasnt sure about the K612pro, especially considering its pricing. 

sorry to ask this again, I havent been in this thread for atleast 15 pages. I just had a guy on FB say that the K612pro are made in Austria? Does anyone know, for certain, where they are made?   cheers Serg

I also wish the K612Pro was made in Austria....just to make me feel warm and fuzzy. All my AKG, including K601 are made in Austria. Id like to keep it that way.   Re Apple, I have just purchased a new iMac and superdrive (apple) The superdrive is needed as there is now no built in disc...

maybe having the K612pro made in china and the K712pro in Austria has something to do with the larger price difference. Seems like they may be trying to get a larger market into their pro headphones by offering a low price. IMO its not a really good thing if they are also cutting corners. On top...

any of you AKG gurus know what model was immediately to the right of the K712pro in that foreign film? I know they talked about the tiesto, but these were not.....   I wonder if the "entry level" K612pro will be made in China?   Its a shame that all AKG dont come with a removable cable...

I have been able to do some more listening to the Pico Power, and I also finally got my Soshine Lithium batteries. These batteries are a little longer than the stock Duracels and are a tight fit. As others here are using them I figure they are not to long and wont do any damage. I also ordered...

I received mine on the 27th of march. I have only had the chance to listen to it for about 1 hr due to sorting music to iPod etc. Very happy with the fit and finish of the unit. Great attention to detail. I currently just running the Duracels that came in it. A word of warning that I have found...

are they the same size/dia?

hey all,   where are you sourcing your silicon bands that hold a iPod and portable amp together? I tried searching ebay, but could only find one pair for $20......do they have a specific name?   cheers Serg

Thanks MD2,   Good to know what is fitting in there. The battery and charger set im looking at in lithium, also has the ability to charge other size batteries and Ni-MH which would be good for the AAs I need in my laser levels.   cheers Serg

not sure, getting info from the web. Ill ask   cheers Serg

Justin, can you tell me if a battery of size: 46.4mm long, 26.5mm wide and 17.5mm high will fit the Pico Power?   cheers Serg

Quote:   how would you class AKG K601, K701 and K702?

good to know.   So voltage is more important for sound quality, than going for the larger amp hour for run time?   cheers Serg

Excellent info guys, I appreciate the time given. And yes some more questions. Is voltage the important factor? Will the lower voltage lithium be noticable sound wise compared to the higher Ni-MH? The advantages I like about Lithium are you dont have to fully drain them before charging. You dont...

Quote: Thanks for your reply cooperpwc,   Here is one of Justins comments regarding lithium:   "that would depend how they're charged but most will do 8.4V. 8.2V a little less common. the nominal voltage is 7.4V and they'll spend most of their life around this range, before quickly...

well again for me, rechargeable lithiums or Ni-MH are pretty much the same price (when looking at 2 batteries, charger and shipping). Yes thats shopping online and looking outside my own country. Something you get good at if your not in the "Good ol USA".....you guys have a scale of economey...

Quote: maybe it was but I did not find it very clear. If you have read my question regarding actual volatge and not what is stamped, written or advertised on the battery you may know where im coming from. A list of brands and there so called voltage doesnt explain to me how or what a 9v...

id be happy if someone could explain to me (in simple terms for my simple mind) what rechargeable battery is best (Ni-MH or Lithium?) for the Pico Power ......Im not waiting at the front fence for it, it will arrive in good time

Quote: A few 10ths....this is where im confused. As I read that lithium are 3.6v cells +/- they can only have a nominal 7.2v, but as Ni-MH are 1.2v cells, I figured they could be a 8.4 or 9.6 nominal voltage which I would have thought better?   does anyone know what the actual nominal...

Quote: Thanks Justin,   would these be a good choice? or better to go with Ni-MH that may get closer to that 9v as a nominal voltage? Looks like I can by a couple of good quality batteries and charger for $50-$70 or I can just by alk one use for $6ea at the supermarket....Rechargeable...

Quote: nice one, do you know what actual voltage they are when fully charged? what do they drop down to before charging?   cheers Serg

Quote: Akg K601, K701 and K702 65th. I did post a page or so back q's regarding batteries. I want to get rechargeable, but not sure if Hi-MH or Lithium. Im not understanding battery tech at all haha, just that I read that Lithium cells are approx 3.6v, so cant see how they can make a 9v...

IMO it will arrive when it arrives. I would how ever, like to here some informed tech about the best type of rechargeable batteries to use with the Pico Power.

the way Im reading it is he is saying he will use USPS Priority within the USA and when shipped will take 2-3 days. His next comment tells me he has not shipped any and will let us know all shipping dates when he can.   I could be wrong
