Review: An ear-opening experience: quality, clarity and articulate stereo imaging - This product is more of a work of art than a piece of technology, AKG know how to build and present quality gear - every part of the packaging, aesthetic design and sound reproduction oozes quality. I've always been a 'studio monitors only' producer. After entering a relationship, moving into a two room flat (plus bathroom fyi) and having a bedroom serving as our place of rest and production studio I quickly came to the realisation that in order to allow my gf to get some sleep (thereby sustaining our relationship) I might have to change tact. As with all tech purchases the (seemingly endless) hunt was on to find a product that could fulfil my strict set of criteria - this time to find a comfortable pair of headphones that could give my HS80M studio monitors a run for their money. Challenge accepted. Unboxing the headphones is a special moment, kind-of a grand reveal, providing pictures would spoil the moment... so I won't. If you don't run in the headphones then the sound will be pretty flat. I left them on with white noise playing through them for about a week and resisted the urge to try out the sound until the end of that week. The first time I tried them on it was something quite amazing. I could hear a level of detail and clarity in music I'd never heard before. I ended up binge listening to songs I've heard many times before but with a completely near lease of context and articulation. For that alone (listening, not necessarily making music) I'd buy these - the experience is incredible. The same is true though for production, examining sounds and how they sit in the mix and stereo space with the 701s is an enlightening experience. The cable is very long (still haven't gotten to the point where I've forgotten I have them on, walked away, and yanked the audio interface off the desk) and the sound isn't confrontational or fatiguing, even after hours of use. That coupled with the comfort of the leather strap means you don't have to tear yourself away from these headphones for hours at a time. As open back headphones they're quite noisy to people nearby - being open back however is essential in producing sound at this quality. Just as studio monitors would suffer in a completely closed environment, these are no different. All in all I love these headphones and don't have a bad word to say about them, especially at this price point. Please hit 'yes' below if you found my review helpful :)
Review: These are Fabulous Headphones, really worth the cost. - Ok, some will say I am just a AKG fanboy but I also own Grado RS2i's & the 'legendary' Sennheiser HD600's but the K812's are a really worthwhile upgrade over my AKG K702 65th Anniversary headphones. So they should be at £938. I have read every online & magazine review around on the K812's and ended up somewhat confused, the first lesson is to trust your favourite headphone manufacturer to produce a fabulous flagship headphone and not to get to get bogged down with the minutiae within some of the reviews. The headphones arrive in a simple but attractive box and AKG provide a lovely wooden headphone stand which is more useful to me than an aluminium box (I bought two sturdy but light headphone boxes from desertcart for £15 each and they accommodate any of my headphones for when I travel abroad). The materials used in the construction of the K812's are of great quality, they look prestigious and are very comfortable. I particularly like the larger than average earpieces which provide plenty of room for your ears and seal the earpieces to your head really well. I don't need a 3m cable so I will be ordering a 3ft cable from Double Helix Cables who make very high quality headphone cables. Lot's of headphone porn on their website... I resisted listening until the K812's had had 24hrs listening to songs on their own via my laptop, yes, I do believe that things like headphones & loudspeakers need running in but let's not get into that debate please! I only use headphones with my two digital audio players, Cowan Plenue 1 & Colorfly C4 Pro, so I welcomed the easier to drive K812's compared to my K702/65's although I chose both my DAP's because they have healthy power outputs, I'm using noticebly less than I was. The K702/65's produced enough bass for me but the K812's produce a much better quality of bass, better defined, more tuneful, doesn't become befuddled when put under pressure, goes nicely deeper so a real improvement in the bass. I started listening to Emeli Sande's wonderful 'Live at the Albert Hall' CD/DVD and the K812's reproduced her voice beautifully providing more clarity and detail to her voice than the K702/65's, more emotion was conveyed. I have written about the K702/65's that I would have liked a bit more treble bite & intensity & I'm delighted that the K812's provide this, I am listening to Arena's new album 'The Unquiet Sky' as I type this review and I am hearing more of Mick Pointer's cymbals and a more vivid version of John Mitchell's fantastic solo guitar work. Some of the reviews have talked about a treble bite as bad as a pit bull terrier's but I haven't found this but equipment partnering is very important and the Cowan Plenue 1 is described as an 'analogue' type of sound so isn't going to provoke an excessive treble bite from the K812's. I find the Colorfly C4 Pro less good with the K812's but it is an earlier generation of DAP & £200 less expensive than the Plenue 1. The other thing is that I'm in the 50-70 age group and my ears are less sensitive than The Child's (in her twenties) so I know she would have a different point of view but as most 18-30's either couldn't afford the K812's or are simply not nearly interested in music to spend substantial sums on music equipment, perhaps AKG tuned the K812's for the average buyer? Last year I visited Hi Fi Lounge, the top notch hi fi dealership run by Paul & Wendy Clark who have one of the very few dedicated headphone rooms, in fact it's not a dedicated headphone room nowadays, it is a dedicated headphone building adjacent to their hi fi building. I visited before the dedicated building was opened but I was able to listen to a variety of headphones in the £800-£1,700 range (good thing The Wife doesn't read my desertcart reviews!) and whilst one had nicer bass than my K702/65's, I didn't like its treble, another was more open in the midrange but lacked bass, another had too much bass but a lovely midrange & treble! On it went, sadly Paul wasn't an AKG dealer. So it ain't quite as easy as it might seem, regardless of budget, to find a 'perfect' pair of headphones anymore than my very substantial Hi Fi system is perfect either. The £££££ speakers are fabulously clear (a bit too so with some recordings), have beautifully defined and very quick bass (but could do with a bit more with most recordings). My last speakers (PMC) had lots of transmission line produced bass but on most recordings I could hear the bass lagging behind the rest of the music notwithstanding the high quality amplifiers powering each speaker separately. So as Arena's great new album demonstrates, the K812's give me what I personally wish from a flagship pair of headphones so I would encourage you to buy the AKG K812's if you are a music lover as I am. They give what my K702/65's were unable to produce and more besides, can't ask for more than that. September 2015 Update: My K812's are now well run in and sounding worth every penny (I see the desertcart price has gone up by £130!), I have listened to many of the albums on my Cowan Plenue 1 and I really love the sound. I have upgraded my USB headphone amplifier to an Audioquest Dragonfly v 1.2 with an Audioquest Jitterbug and this has made a useful difference to all laptop listening. The quality of the K812's has resulted in my listening to music far more than I did using my K702/65's which is a testimonial in itself. The 10ft cable supplied is annoyance and I am delighted my Double Helix Cables 3ft cable is now on its way from the States (DHC Elite 4 wire Fusion hybrid silver/copper OCC Litz). A cable of comparable quality to the K812's, can't arrive soon enough, why can't AKG also provide a 3ft cable?

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they still made in Slovakia?**
A: Just tecieved a pair in June 2018, they state Made in Slovakia on them.

**Q: How is the noise bleed?  i.e. will someone at the desk next to me hear anything at moderate volume?**
A: Just listening to Dead or Alive on my Fire HD at half volume, I'm 3ft away from the wife and she says she's unable to hear a thing. However, just tried Take On Me at full volume with the TV volume off and she can hear it slightly. In an office with moderate noise levels you should be fine.

**Q: Are these a noticeable upgrade to the hd598's?. Mainly for music but a bit of gaming to.**
A: Yes!

**Q: How many years is the warranty?**
A: Pretty sure it's 2 years, but it will be at least 1 year. Fantastic well built cans anyway so don't worry just buy them and enjoy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***1 on 1 January 2012*

I've been listening to my Grado Prestige Series SR325is Headphones for most of the year and have no complaints, other than the initial comfort factor. But I really wanted another mid-to-high end set to keep from moving the Grados from one room to another (I know, lazy, huh?). I almost went with the Sennheiser HD 650 Headphones , but I've already got a smaller pair of Sennheiser HD 238 Open Aire Stereo Headphones Optimized for iPod/iPhone/MP3/and Music Players and wanted to try the K701s because of the excellent reviews. On first listen, I wasn't impressed. The music didn't seem to have any depth to it, like it was all coming to you on a flat plane, if that makes any sense at all. I knew these headphones need some break-in time, so I kept listening. Mainly I plugged them into my home theater and played some Dead Space 2 on the PS3. Slowly but surely, they turned around, and now they're my go-to headphones (I still love you Grado, but you're going into a drawer for a little while). The detail and clarity is spectacular; the bass is just right (I don't find it at all lacking as some others have noted); comfort level is fantastic. My only complaint: I really liked the thick cord on the Grados and wish the cord on the AKGs felt as sturdy. That's more of a comparison than a complaint, though. As far as amplification goes, I don't know how these sound without it. I've only used them on a newer Pioneer 1120-K (late 2010) receiver and, in my bedroom, a Peachtree Audio Decco2, which is both a headphone amplifier and DAC in one (and a wonderful piece of equipment, I might add). I stream audio from MOG (supposedly 320 kpps, the highest rate available to my knowledge) to either an Apple TV MC572LL/A (NEWEST VERSION) or Apple Airport Express MB321LL/A [NEWEST VERSION ] and then into, respectively, the Pioneer receiver or the Decco2. Both have DACs, so I feel like I'm getting a good source going into a good output, and that truly makes these headphones shine. A quick word on DACs: I purchased a small portable DAC earlier this year and returned it. I could tell no difference in the sound. But the DAC in the Decco2 really fills the music out and makes it sound so rich and detailed. If you're going to invest good money into headphones, please consider the source going into them. I suspect if you simply plugged these headphones into your iPod with no amplification or conversion to analog, you might wonder why you spent so much money. But with the right equipment, you'll fall in love with your music all over again. And one last thing! If you're playing video games using a home theater system, i.e. you have a console hooked up to a receiver and surround sound speakers, these headphones are truly fantastic for gaming. I've mainly been playing Dead Space 2, and the detail and directional effects are amazing. I can't imagine any of the Ear Force or Astro headphones besting these AKGs. UPDATE JULY 2012: I've been back and forth between these cans and my Grados for the past few months, with most of my listening through Grado. But I m sitting here now listening to Scissor Sister's new album on my AKGs, and I often forget how great these sound, so detailed and full and lush. They're more impressive now than when I first purchased them. Highly recommended. If I had to chose between the AKG and the Grado 325, I'd probably still go with Grado, just because the build is so sturdy and they're Made in America. But there is nothing wrong with the AKG at all. Excellent stuff all around!
