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: Great open back cans for under $200 - Incredibly good cans for the money. With sweet sounding mids, crisp highs, and clear bass there aren't too many flaws with the overall sound quality. The one flaw I can think of is that the low bass rolls off a bit more than it should with the majority of the bass at a good level. They are also incredibly comfortable headphones with a self adjusting headband and large ear cups with velour pads. Pros: + Really clear and crisp sound + Expansive and well imaged sound stage + Sounds good with most if not all genres of music Cons: (minor) - Not incredibly bassy although the bass is quite good - Very large and don't come with case - Non-removable cable - Open back design allows sound both in and out making them not ideal for shared workspaces As a note, my pair of AKG K612PROs were made in China and I believe all new K612PROs will be made in China. Regardless, as I do not have an Austrian made pair I cannot compare build quality and sound quality between the two. I can say that the build and sound quality are still quite admirable for headphones under $200. Of other headphones I've heard and own I only like the sound of my Beyerdynamic DT880 Premiums more. I will also say that acoustic music in particular sounds spectacular on these heapdhones, more so than electronic music. As a last note these headphones can be used unamped but may require higher volumes as stated in some of the FAQs and other reviews due to somewhat high impedance (120 Ohm) and low efficiency. While not perfect comparisons I like the sound (maybe not overall) of these more than: Audio Technica ATH-M50 Sony MDR-7506 Grado SR80 VModa Crossfade LP (not LP2 I don't own those) Definitely some of the best headphones I've seen under $200. If you're looking for headphones on planes or in offices stay away from these, they're not for you. If however you're looking for great sound or you're looking for a nice pair of open back cans that aren't the Grado SR80s these are a great choice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great headphones, but have their drawbacks.
*by G***I on March 7, 2016*

The Good: These have absolutely great sound and are the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. They are great for listening to music and darn near perfect for gaming. Extremely open. (great for summer too, they don't make your head/ears warm at all) The Bad: If you're doing homework with these and have to read/write (you turn your head down) the will start to slide forward. The cable is 10 feet. I know some people like that but I absolutely hate it. I have to wrap the cord around something or I will get it caught in my computer chair wheels. I wouldn't mind this, if it wasn't for my 3rd bad point, they don't have a removable cord. That just freaking sucks. Overall I really like these headphones, I knew of the 'bads' before I bought them but I bought them anyway because they were $60 less than the headphones that fixed some of these issues. I would definitely recommend these to a friend for the price ($140) but if I was willing to spend a little more I would buy the AKG 7XX Massdrop ones the next time they are on there. But for now, these are great too.
