AKG takes its time developing high-end headphones so new models are rarely introduced, but the new K812s are a doozy!
“During the course of writing this review, I brought the K812s to a recording studio. It was a real treat to listen at a jazz session where I could quickly compare the actual sound of live musicians with their sound over the K812s. It was shocking to hear how close the headphones' sound was to the real thing. When the engineers and musicians checked out the K812s, they were blown away by the sound. I've brought other headphones to sessions, but never had that sort of reaction from the engineers before. The K812s are that good.”
