K812 sound will always be controversial
is too steep for the possible slight improvement in sound
lack of subtlety and a shortfall in spaciousness
they sound bright
edgy and quite coarse
sound dull and comparatively lifeless
There s always a danger in monitoring with headphones for extended periods
huge open ear cups that seal all the way around the ear
plugging these into a smartphone is pretty laughable really
these open phones do not isolate well from outside noises
not too tight over my glasses ear pieces
no genre of music sounded bad via the K812
it is not a phasey
false stereo impression
Why is there NO perfect equipment
It sounds a bit too bright and can have a laser-like sharpish edge
It may not display this or other websites correctly
doesn t seem to be a struggle between any of the main levels
a very expensive pair of headphones
Curled cords can be awkward and clunky
The ear cushions look a little unorthodox
general focus on outer design is a little disappointing
everything needs to be burned in
There s no mention of this on AKG s web site
clips on to the edge of a rack or desk
poor bass you say with a waves eq plugin
both headphones lose control fast
The headphone has an anorexic low end
headphones do not offer the most bass
is no longer for the person who has a headphone hobby
Depth is rather poor on both headphones
Imaging is not near as good as the HD800
the resonance caused a bit of harsh
the clamp is too loose for my tastes
the treble exceedingly bright even on test tracks
these headphones isn t hampered in the slightest
