How does one obtain a K712pro headphone pads? I have a Q701, and wouldn't mind to try them with the 712 pads. I did some search but wasn't much of a success. Thanks.
I have the Q701 and the K712 and find the K712 superior in every way except maybe, maybe soundstage. I'm very surprised to see some people saying they can't tell K712 apart from Q701. Maybe hooked up to an iPhone or low powered source, but certainly not hooked up to my Asgard 2. The bass is much better, and they're a bit less peaky and overall are less fatiguing. In terms of comfort the K712 mops the deck compared to Q701
Hey guys/gals, i just got the K702's and i think they sound good, except for the Vocals, they seem vary harsh and sibilant, do the K712 Pro fix this? TY
How do they compare to the DT-990s and HD 558 in sound, and comfort? I have been thinking about buying a 2nd pair of headphones in the future, and I have taken an interest in this pair.
tY for the reply, I'm using the Emotiva Stealth DC-1, i think it should drive them nicely right?I do not know because I am not familiar with the 712s. But being a long time fan and owner of the k701s what headphone amp are you using?
The akgs 701 and 702s share a similar sonic balance. The 701 and 702s are fairly demanding of the driving amplifier powering them . They are very capable with the right amp driving them . I have strayed from using them at times but I keep going back to them. I have lcd 2 v2s but while the audezes have very smooth sonics I find that their soundstage reproduction is not all that great. When I want to hear soundstage I find that the akg 701 is vastly better at soundstage reproduction than the lcd 2 v2s.
Of the headphone amps I have I like the ray samuels raptor otl with it the sound is quite palpable with the k701s .The akg 701/702 headphones are quite amazing sounding with the right headphone amp driving them .And at the price you can get them at I think they are a astounding bargain .

I think they sound better than both the DT 990 and HD 558 as well as having a higher level of comfort. The K712 is the most comfortable headphone I have owned.
The only way to fully fix the harsh and sibilant vocals on the K702, Q701, K712, K612, etc. is to pair them with a system they have good synergy with, they are picky headphones. They are not like the HD 600 family which seem to have smooth vocals on just about any system.
Nice, comfort is a big priority for me especially with my buzzed/shaved head. I heard the leather band is pretty soft.
Now, the sibilance of the DT-990s has to be its biggest weakness for me. Does the Akg k712 have similar peaking highs?
