Review: Excellent Sound!! - I was leery about buying these since I knew ahead of time that most are now made in China instead of Germany. I messaged the seller and he confirmed they would be the China version. I made the purchase anyway. These are made of plastic, sure. It did not detract from the sound quality one bit though. These K612's in my opinion are a must have headphone. Inexpensive for what you get and have superb sound quality. Big earcups, comfortable earpads, lightweight and wonderful sound. The only downside is that they don't have a detachable cable. If you are a gamer looking for a bad a$$ gaming headphone, look no further. A few things to keep in mind though. Make sure you have a good sound card. AKG are known for their mids and highs. If you want a little more warmth in your gaming, just make a couple slight EQ adjustments. I like bass, but don't consider myself a basshead by any means. So I have made a slight adjustment on my Sound Blaster Z's EQ and I must say, these put out some of the cleanest bass I've ever hear. They get very low and sound superb. The mids and highs, well, best I've heard. Crisp and clear. I play competitively and have been since the 90's (old school gamer here), these AKG k612's are almost like using a cheat in FPS gaming. The sound imaging these have will allow you to know exactly where the enemies are (by way of footsteps or any other sounds they make). I game with several people when playing competitively and am always the first person to hear footsteps and pinpoint where they are coming from. I highly recommend these for gaming. As far as music goes. Make sure your collection is in FLAC format or some other high quality lossless. MP3 doesn't cut it anymore. You hear all the imperfections of the compressed audio and it makes music sound terrible. If playing FLAC or something of the sort, your music will sound better than it ever has before. I listen to everything (except country) and these things perform astoundingly. (side note: I also bought a Schiit Magni to go along with these, as a friend on Head-Fi told me that they sound better with more power. My Sound Blaster Z has a 600ohm AMP. I DO double AMP these. I have volumes turned down in Windows and I have my Magni sitting around the 1 O'Clock postion. Swapping back and forth between the AMP and no AMP, I only notice a very slight difference, of course they will get louder, but the sound itself does have a slight change. The Magni is known for making sound "brighter" and it does, this is why I slightly adjust the EQ to offset this. But as far as sound quality goes, I do notice that with the Magni the overall sound gets a little cleaner. It may not justify the extra $100 to buy an AMP, I hear the Schiit Vali is better for the AKG line, but I feel this Magni makes enough difference to justify what I payed. Even if the difference is slight, it is there. The Amp is not necessary with a good Sound Card, but may be something to look into. I also have some Pioneer SE-A1000's coming in the mail, should be here by this weekend. I will compare them with these after I have them and will update this review. Review: Outstanding sound for the price. Mediocre build quality. - I got them used like new for about 120$, they sound more neutral than the Sennheiser HD6XX headphones (which I got for about 250$) and have much better stereo imaging, the only things worse about them in terms of sound quality is that they are slightly less detailed than the Sennheiser HD6XX. Regarding comfort, they squeeze and crush your head a lot right out the box and the earpads are stiff, but with use, they break in and are pretty comfy, although not as comfy as the Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro. (in case you're wondering, they sound worse than the AKG K612 pro at a similar asking price) Build quality is pretty mediocre but on par with the HD6XX except for the extremely long (3 meters or about 9 feet) soldered on cable, which I use twist ties to keep in check. TL;DR: Amazing sound quality for the price with mediocre build quality and high clamping force right out the box. I recommend putting books between these overnight to fix the clamping force without having to squeeze your head. ## Features - Over-ear design for maximum wearing comfort for long work sessions - Sophisticated open technology for spacious and airy sound without compromise - Patented Varimotion Diaphragm Technology for high-quality imaging and sound - Genuine self-adjusting leather headband for automatic fit and maximum wearing comfort - Computer-optimized neodymium magnets for ultra-low transducer distortion ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DCXZY1W | | Additional Features | Lightweight | | Age Range Description | All | | Audio Driver Type | Planar Magnetic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #167,058 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #2,782 in Over-Ear Headphones | | Brand Name | AKG | | Built-In Media | 1 x K612 PRO Headphones. 1 x 3.5mm (1/8-inch) to 6.3 mm (1/4”) screw-on adapter | | Cable Features | Retractable | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptops, Desktops, Tablets, Cellphones, Music Production Equipment, Gaming Consoles | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Remote | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (641) | | Earpiece Shape | Over-ear | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum, Leather | | Frequency Range | 12 - 39,500 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885038035695, 05691982094948, 09002761035698 | | Headphone Folding Features | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Impedance | 120 Ohms | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Type Name | K612PRO | | Item Weight | 1.46 Pounds | | Manufacturer | AKG | | Model Name | K612 PRO | | Model Number | 2458X00100 | | Noise Control | None | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Professional | | Style Name | K612 PRO | | Theme | Music or Studio Recording | | UPC | 885038035695 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | MANUFACTURERS LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY For AKG products applies only when the purchase is made from AKG Authorized North American Dealers. | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology | Hochfrequenz | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AKG - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** Over Ear - **Form Factor:** Over Ear - **Impedance:** 120 Ohms ## Images ![K612 Pro - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-ZIlLUZQL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: hi any recent buys here that can tell if it's still the made in Austria models?** A: K712= made in slovakia. everything else (including K612) = made in china. **Q: Is this recommended for positional accuracy for PC gaming?** A: I would say it's good enough for positional accuracy.

Including several from AKG, namely the K612, K712, K701 and K371. Let's start with the K371. Although they are the cheapest, they are a very decent device. They don't press on the head, and the soft ear cushions allow you to wear the headphones for a long time. The device stays on the head very securely, you can easily take it outside for a run, a bike ride or just a walk. The rather strange design raises some questions. It's unclear how fragile it is. Judging by many reviews here: very fragile. The headphones sound decent for their price, a little bassy. The K612, K712 and K701 headphones are of a completely different type: they are open-back and significantly larger, you can't take them outside, and there's no point. A detachable cable is only available on the K712, and that's a shame. I believe that absolutely all headphones more expensive than ~$100 should have a detachable cable. But there are detailed photo instructions on the Internet on how to add and solder a connector yourself. They all sit on the head perfectly, albeit with slight differences. The K712 is the "older brother" of the K612, so the ear cushions are slightly improved. They are a little thicker, softer and made of a different material (memory foam, it seems). So the K712 is a little more comfortable than the K612, but that doesn't mean that the K612 themselves are uncomfortable. There are practically no differences between the K612 and K701 in terms of comfort. Sound. Personally, I liked the K612 the most for its clean, "unbiased" sound. In them, you can focus on all the instruments or vocals, and none of them "stick out" too much. The K712 are generally considered a more bass-heavy version of the K612, but I only partially agree with this: there is a difference, but it's very small. At the same time, it seemed to me that the K712 lost some clarity and purity compared to the K612. The K701 are a completely different pair. They have very strong high frequencies, and the low frequencies are, on the contrary, weakened. While the K612 and K712 are easily suitable for simple and enjoyable music listening, the K701 might seem "boring" due to the unexpressive bass, but they are very detailed! You can hear all the nuances of the composition, and that's really cool. I also think they would be well suited for FPS games. Regarding reliability. Things are bad here. There are many bad reviews with photos of the K371 regarding the reliability of the construction. The K series headphones have known problems with the quality of soldering of the thin cables inside, which often leads to the sound disappearing in one of the headphones. I personally encountered a similar problem twice: the first pair of K701 I received had a non-working left earphone, and in the K712, during testing, the sound started to cut out. Also, in the K series, the black headband is held by four thin elastic threads, two on each side. They constantly pull the headband down, allowing people with different head shapes to wear the headphones comfortably. However, over time, these threads degrade and deteriorate, like office rubber bands, which means the headband will always be in the highest position, making it difficult for people with smaller heads to wear the headphones. One of the pairs I received had exactly these worn-out elastic bands, and I could only wear the headphones because my head is quite large. In the end, I returned all the AKG headphones and kept a pair from a completely different brand, but if it weren't for the build quality issues, I would have kept the K612 for home listening, I really liked them. Or the K371 for the gym and cycling trips. I hope this short review will help someone make a decision and find their favorite pair of headphones. ## Frequently Bought Together - AKG Pro Audio K612PRO, Black, 4.30 x 8.80 x 9.80 inches (2458X00100) - FiiO K5Pro ESS Amplifier Headphone Amps Stereo High Resolution Portable Desktop DAC 768K/32Bit and Native DSD512 for Home Audio/PC 6.35mm Headphone Out/RCA Line-Out/Coaxial/Optical Inputs (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1953345-k612-pro](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1953345-k612-pro) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
