AKG K712 Pro vs Beyerdynamic DT 880 PRO

So does it do that? Well, let's get into it. [Music] Hey guys, this is no and this is Weezy reviews and if you're new to this channel, this is a place...

The other difference is on the top here where the band is, the Pros have all these buttons. I use the 600 ohm version because if you have any device t...

my dad bought them 25 years ago and they still go strong against newer (cheaper) headphones even tho i had to change the foam earcups. As others said a lot of headphones were released a lot of time ago but still go strong (and are still for sale, unlike my sonys) like HD 600, AKG K712 Pro, etc..

At a higher price point the main thing I look for in headphones is build quality. Sound doesn't mean anything if they're going to break, and parts wear out over time. Beyerdynamic has made a very solid product here. Replaceable ear pads and head band are a nice feature, I just wish the cable was detachable

**Source**: PS4 (main source of gaming) / PC (onboard audio controller), no DAC/AMP yet. If I need a DAC/AMP I would be willing to buy a budget one but rather would like to spend the money on good cans (if that\`s wrong please enlighten me). **Requirements for Isolation**: I only use the headphone at home in a rather quiet environment. I actually like it when I don't here outside noises (e

They're not the best looking headphones (big, bulky and flimsy carrying bag) but the sound is the most important thing for me. I tried Bose QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones and, while I liked the sound, and the noise cancellation feature) I returned them because the left headphone stopped working after only two weeks. Then I tried Harman Kardon the NC Premium Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones. Wasn't too crazy about those either, and returned them

COMFORT First things first. In my opinion these things have way too loose of a fit. Compared to Sennheiser 650s, which are snug and somewhat tight, these feel more like they'll fall off my head. SOUND These headphones tend to have a massive dip in the upper mids

Note: I am a tough reviewer and I am going to be looking at this from a music listening perspective. Pros: -Comfort I feel that they are very comfortable. The clamping force is not too much and not too little for me. The headband is made out of a leather type material (I don't know if its real leather or leatherette), but it is very comfortable

Ultimately I am returning the K702 because the a) the 2khz hump is annoying to my ears, and b) the very wide sound stage is a bit too wide and unfocused. When I take them off and put my Senns back on, every instrument is immediately restored to perfect placement, but with the AKGs, it’s hard to place exactly where an instrument is in the mix. Instruments kind of dance from far left to far right. You don’t feel as close to the instruments as you do with Sennheiser, but I’d take the ‘intimacy’ of Sennheiser to get the accurate imaging

The 1/4 plug size matched the headphone amplifier outputs that are part of my system so felt that this was an O.K. trade.

There are so many other great headphones for this kind of money! I think I would have kept them if they were about $175 but definitely not the mid $300 range. I hope this helps someone make the right decision!

Even with their flaws, I feel they are probably the best buy around this price. Out of the 3, I would recommend the 880 for music listening, the 990 for gaming, and the 770 for closed gaming or as a portable headphone if you don't mind looking stupid or are so good looking that they become fashionable.
