Product Information

The one I have (NJC Audio Reference DAC/Monitor II Headphone Amp) are well regarded and very solid pieces of kit.

Because of that toughness though, I could still feel some pressure against the frames of my glasses, which got a bit uncomfortable at times.The other thing I noticed about the 9500 (and this is something I’ve said for a long time) is that its ability to pick out micro-detail is just so incredibly good – to the point where things in the game actually feel and sound more fully fleshed out. And as I said, I was really hyped to get them as the 'ultimate' AKG solution after auditioning the 812s and finding them annoyingly shrill. I’m actually not that careful with it and it’s holding up really well – a lot better than I expected, actually. It continues the tradition of a somewhat lean bass but still doesn’t feel or sound excessively rolled off.

They combine the comfort of an over-the-ear design and the benefits of closed-back technology for best possible sound reproduction. As you will see, I confirm the approximate accuracy of the measurements using Equalization and listening tests.

Desire to learn and share knowledge of science required as is 20 years of participation in forums (not all true). Most of the gaming community has no clue the very old AD700 is a pinpoint accuracy master, as is the Beyer T1. Part of the reason I have never bought AKG is down to their reputation as being rather cold and uninvolving. The strings on the sides that stretch to fit your head, while convenient, are going to become weaker along the years, which will affect comfort.

Width and depth are fairly excellent, and you’ll be able to pinpoint where sounds are coming from rather quickly and easily. Adele’s voice sounds way more authentic with these compared to the K7XX’s for example and the violin in Lindsey Stirling’s music actually sounds like a violin who would have guessed? In his spare time, he likes to fish, paint, play guitar, pray, rap, make beats, take photos, record videos, graphic design, and more.The AKG712 Pro, that Solderdude measured, accidently was mine and at the date of measurement it had been in charge for about two years before that. Recently, a petition appeared in some online gaming communities to have me banned from playing on my favorite servers. Ohm impedance also means that headphone output impedance should be kept under 1 Ohm, however, the impedance peak at K712 Pro’s self-resonance is so low, that audible coloration shouldn’t occur. When I really want to turn the AKGs from studio hardware to fun machines blasting Neil Pearth and some Billy Jean, I just flip the loudness switch and I get the best bass and dynamics I've ever heard from a headphone.
