    AKG K12P appreciation thread

    I was forced to go back to the AKG K12P because the IEMs broke and I found myself really enjoying the sound of these. Am I the only one that finds the K12P really good for the price? (I don't really recall how much they were as it was plenty of time ago, they're so old that the AKG logo is...

    Burn-in question
