Then why are you here?
I'm here trying to make/arrange any AKG K-812 EU/US loan program. Do you want to help, or you just keep trolling around?

I know it's 2022 now, but I think your question is still relevant.So is this headphone as bad as Tyll and metal571 make it? On a german music equipment retailer it ranks on position 9 for studio headphones which is pretty high for a 750€ headphone. It got a lot of favorable reviews.
Interesting..., i loved adx5000 and arya sound, but sadly 812 pro so rare in hereI would personally have kept mine if it hadn’t been for the piercing treble performance. I did own it for a good year and did not notice any difference in the way the highs sounded.
Afterwards though I was thinking that perhaps the harsh highs were down to the weird pads and that maybe a pair of velours would do the trick. It is however a lot of dough to spend on a headphone that I’m not even sure I can fix.
Then again peeps into a treble forward sound a la the Arya, DT1990, HD800S, ADX5000 and so forth will most likely adore the K812
In what universe?AKG K812 is hard to drive
IMHO, the AKG K812 is one of the greatest headphones of all time. It's slightly bright, but certainly not piercing ALA Tyll's description. The K812 and Focal's Utopia are getting equal time at the moment (the Mysphere 3.2 is away being repaired at the moment). In the Utopia's lofty company, the K812 holds up very, very well and, if anything, I may slightly prefer the latter. But, then again, I think the Stax Sigma Pro is my favourite headphone. It certainly did piano more evenly than any other phone.Hello!
I love my K812 and have never experienced siblance on them even though I am very sensitive to siblance on other headphones (Beyers and even the hifiman Ananda)
Everyone I have shown them to also have not had any problems with the highs on my pair.
I run them off a ibasso Dx300 anyone have any idea why others are saying they are sibilant or harsh?
I got my pair used so maybe burn in? Dac/Amp pairing?
