AKG K812PRO Casque de studio de référence circum-aural ouvert supérieur

I have auditioned a lot of the current TOTL headphones on the market. In that price range, AKG K812 is the headphone to sought after if you want something that is very pure, very revealing, while at the same time very holographic and very musical. Great for both engineers and audiophiles, though some audiophiles will crave for a balanced option. One small con is that, as it is so revealing, you will not want to listen to your poorly mastered tracks anymore. Also, in some days when you want a soft and mellow sound for your ears, these headphones will sound a bit too sharp and too tizzy. The reason why I only give 4 stars to the durability is because the screws near the ear cup of the headphone will loosen or tighten on normal use. Though they can be readjusted using a simple screwdriver, this is something not desirable.

I have lots of headphones from Stax and KingSound Electrostatics to earbuds. These are my favourite overall, though being open they let out a tinny version of what you are listening to and environmental noise in so are unsuitable for trains, buses and 'planes. They are safer for walking, of course, since then hearing environmental noises is important.

With the K812, AKG unveils a pair of studio headphones aimed at the upper tiers of the market. From the packaging and elegant presentation alone, you can see there’s been no shortcuts and savings in the production of these beauties.

Le constructeur autrichien AKG, non content de posséder dans son catalogue des références dans le rayon microphone, avec notamment le C414 et le C12, fabrique aussi des casques dont la réputation dépasse les frontières de son petit pays.

Was I even listening to my DAW before these unbelievable monitors? If there's better than this, I'll be surprised. This is purely neutral sound, what you hear is what is actually pushing through the Master Channel. Save up, they are totally worth every penny.
