low pressure and the self adjusting design works superbly
Comfort levels on both are about the same
Clamping force is very similar as well

AKG has done a really good job here

Gentle touches of mandolin and great separation
True reproduction of instrument is rather excellent
rich and smooth
power in abundance
headphones are great for neutral listening
critical or casual
The guitar strokes are beautiful and gentle giving a superb stereo effect
Midrange is very detailed and open

the cables lack microphones or inline controls for phones
aural cans can squish the outer ear a little uncomfortably
aural headphones can keep the ears uncomfortably warm
not point on buying based on amateur or pro reviews without measurements
the stock cable would not fit it
lack of energy in the 2 to 5 kHz without EQ
balanced operation is impossible out of the box
Noise Isolation & Leakage Poor isolation
PRO headphones are quite loud and leak a lot
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
are bulky
cumbersome and do not fold up into a more compact format
the 712 s pads are a bit softer than the 702 s
It could stand a tiny bit of added sparkle
it can sometimes feel a tad too relaxed
headband s shape deviates slightly from some of the older models
still doesn t feel or sound excessively rolled off
adjustable headband padding has a lot of moving parts
the headphones could get damaged through wear and tear
the thump of the lows is a bit disappointing
a bit bulky and cumbersome for everyday use
the lack of insulation against external noise
The headphones are rather heavy
the highs are going to be precise and unforgiving
Vocals seem a bit loose and panicked in their uppermost areas
fatiguing sound and weight
it too unforgiving and too true to the track
poorly recorded upper regions
no good having a crap set of headphones for the job
K712 Pro is a bit hot in the highs
sound doesn t come outside and interfere during the process
bass rolls off too early for serious EDM work
headphones are not ideal for other functions of production like mixing and editing
poor noise isolation capability
too large and bulky
some weaker joints that are prone to damage due to rough handling
Transients and bass extension were cut a little shorter than I
Metallic sounds from the drum kit could have sounded a bit more shiny and aggressive
increasingly difficult to find headphones to accurately monitor their output
the AKG family sound has a tendency to brightness
K712s were slightly too large for my own head
earpads are replaceable they are a little bit costly
It was a little bit stiff at first
Treble is also comparatively brighter than HD 599
not as comfortable as HD 599
treble to be quite harsh and sibilant at the top end
AKG is down to their reputation as being rather cold and uninvolving
