AKG K812 Reference Headphone

Feb 11, 2017

I recently purchased these for substantially less (especially when you factor in the $65.50 shipping I would have to pay to the UK) but I can back up the quality and sound of these headphones and totally disagree with Tyll's comments about the high end. I am a fan of the AKG house sound starting with stock 702's then 7XX's which I jumped on in the first drop and loved, upgrading later to the pro series with the 712's, which along with the HD6XX's are my daily drivers but the 812's are leaps and bounds better, yes they are now made in Slovakia but the build quality is stellar. The bass is bass is ridiculously good and tight, the mids sublime and the highs are just getting right up there without nearing unpleasant, to my ears and taste all around prefect, my end game (for now). The bent wood stand is nice that they come with and thankfully the cable is better than the 7 series. After auditioning a dozen or so 'high end' cans over the last few months I am more than happy with my choice of the AKG812. Now to find the perfect amp for me, liking the Audio GD one I have on loan at the moment... come on Massdrop have a word with them ;)

AyohellAfter getting the Massdrop AKG 7xx, I ike the "house" sound after running in for a few hours. After watching Tyll review, comment on "piercing high" I had second thoughts ... then after watching the review from Hi-fi Insider and Airy Fidelity, I dived in...The 812 will be part of my headphone collection.
