  Psssst, Wayne, these are sitting in the FS section looking lonely...

 
I don't really know much about them. I started reading some reviews about them, hoping they are bad. I wish I hadn't... they are rather well received! And they seem to not be lacking bass. Grrr! Must find some bad reviews about them quickly!

  And don't forget about getting some vintage K240 Sextetts! :')

they sound like they would be delicious!

 

[drbluenewmexico]

  You are becoming quite the AKG-head, aren't you  @dweaver!  Congrats!
 
And yeah, a K712 pro + cayan c5 for the price of one K712 pro sounds pretty good to me

+1

They have a nice amount of bass for my tastes. Think of them and a mid/treble headphone that indulges a persons bass desires LOL.
 
Drbluenewmexico here is a an article from Innerfidelity on the Sextette

Very cool article - thanks for posting that dweaver!
 
I will admit that lately I seem to gravitate to my bass-head dusty sony mdr-v7's a bit more than the sextitties, but nonetheless, the 'titties do sound rather awesome (especially the mids).
 
Congrats again with the K712's. I'd really love to try them out. Maybe they are available at somewhere to do so..

 

[dweaver]

Wayne try Long and McQuade if there is one near you.

I thought I posted this already, maybe on my phone, and didn't get it off. Anyway, dweaver, can you compare the D712 and the Q701? Got the Q701 not too long ago, curious how the next model and it compare to each other.

He says that they're awesome and is astounded for price per performance. 

 
It may be a bit bright, I sure hope not...

Looks like it's shaping up to be a great headphone!

The Q701 is a bit less resolving and if it has the hole mod done to it (like mine) it is a bit warmer tonally. The K712 has a bit more bass slam compared to the modded Q701 and more so an un-modded pair. The K712 has sharper imaging, a slightly larger sound stage, and is a bit more aggressive giving it a more resolving sound but also a more fatiguing one. For the price of the Q701 it's hard to justify the current MSRP of the K712 but if you can get it on sale or used for around the $350 mark the K712 is a great headphone if you like the qualities mentioned.

You're welcome.
 
Hohoho, this is a good headphone then.
 
I hope. I seriously want it NOW.

 

[Dsnuts]

Great more stuff to spend money on.
 

 

[jant71]

Blasphemy to some maybe but I'm more a Denon MM300 man than a MSR7 man. I think they both look good, are about the same price and have new drivers but I just don't want a 290 gram headphone. The 195 gram Denon would suit me better. They'll both be good that is for sure.

 

[mochill]

Will buy the Sony nzw-a17 when it releases and when I have the funds
