the K712 needs a powerful amp to reach its full potential, even more so than my HD650 or even my good old K501
I woudn't say picky, but it needs quality amplification being a low impedance headphone with relatively low sensitivity.Is this headphone as picky with amps as some make it seem?
Ok thx. I'm sorry I was away for a long time (life). I have tried these setting on ableton with 2 eq 8. Not bad. Maybe I'm to much used to my srh 440 for mixing or my amp is not powerfull enough. They are driven by an average phonic audio interface. I sended my focusrite scarlett 2i4 to repair because of a bad ic and its been ages since I used it. So maybe with that I will get better result. Thank you for the help. I will let you know. Anyway my only issue is with bass image. Otherwise its a brillant headphone.I am actually curious about this. You should give my EQ set a try. This is my EQ for my K712 Pro. Let me know how you like it. It takes the sound of this headphone to another level.

Hey forum. first time poster.
I consider myself a smart guy, but this audio stuff makes me feel like a moron. Ill summarize and pray you guys can help and maybe give a recommendation.
-Have high end PC, NO SOUND CARD (MOBO Sabertooth Z170 S, REALTEK ALC1150 audio codec)
-Have K712 and schitt magni 3 in mail (from reading thought I needed amp to power these)?
Should I just be getting a Sound card?
80%game 20%music. Really just want great positional audio for my FPS games (PUBG, BF1) and at the same time feel immersed
There are SOOOO many oppinions and I understand why. Instead of getting less confusing the more you read, it seems to get more so due to those oppinions and more subjects that open up like 3D surround audio and what not, its hard to sort through what I actually need to
1. push the k712
2. get the best possible game audio and positional accuracy
ANY help would be greatly appreciated
