hi and welcome so they would like to present to the AKG k612 prom especially compared against the AKG K 702 we already heard this in my classics comparison against a by the enemy TT 880 and the sennheiser HD v 8x and the AKG was by far the worst also confirmed by oh so the sound is somehow colored harsh a little bit thin and although the K 600 grit model it sounds definitely better it is in my opinion so I don't like the K seminar - at all although it's claimed to be a reference to your headphone why the K hundred K six on 12 is just referenced class headphone I think there are mall is based on the same design you can see not much changes here because difference is that this one has an exchangeable cable with an own proprietary connector like some pin type or whatever and the ear cuffs are angled as you can see not sure if you can see this but at the front there are more narrow here they are broader so this should maybe improve the angle how this sound gets into your ear but in the end it sounds worse also both are quite quite a position dependent you can see the ear cuffs are quite big so there is lots of space for your use unfortunately yeah if I put them up centered the sound is not that great you don't have to put up the you know heads your cups more up so that appreciate it doesn't stay like this you can see I already put put up some sticky tape so this band here adjusts to your head you can see automatically there is no way to snap it in like you have with normal headphones like with the Sennheiser here you can adjust the headband and it snaps in quite well well here it simply goes up and then it rather hangs but I have to get the best sound I have to rather have it upwards here not centered because then the treble doesn't doesn't sound right becomes quite harsh but more pronounced with this here so these angled ear cuffs hip heads don't help well and comfort wise them all is the same but I think the biggest difference is really the sound they still sound similar but the k612 probe being the cheaper model here in Europe you can get it below hundred euros so even fifty euros or six euros depending how much you pay for them for shipping and taxes so I think it's quite a nice headphone quite open sounding with a nice soundstage not really busy but not thin either while this sounds a little bit colored but first I would like to show you how the sound changes depending on the position when I put it up here so I will play another proof so Poisson process future and move it around a little bit so you can hear how much the the especially treble changes a lot when you move it so it's really also hard for me to know how to place it correctly I try to get the recording in such a way like I hear it in reality but it's all it all I don't have them centered but rather my ears are at the bottom of the ear pads and I think like this it's a staff lead based so I will switch over to this microphone and we can have a listen no you should hear me left left right right a funny thing is that with these ears here it's exactly the opposite so I have to put it rather down to get the best sound so I think I have positioned it well now and let's compare it against a k7r - I will play three songs switch back and forth and at the beginning and at the end you will always hear the original track so let's have a listen is it just a treat my baby inside my fantasy come to me you are in my thoughts I never stray from the part of you rickety am i searching you I wanna feel these the headphone recordings here are quite close to what I hear in reality when listening for SN Heiser HTC cannot have the Sonics profile so I think the relative differences should also be quite representative but now let's look at some measurements they still sound similar particular here there is definitely some difference and the k7r - sounds more coloured so here is the AKG k612 probe for left and right you can see the trail is not balanced that well but it's more less the same for the k7r - which I would put below so we can see both at the same time so channel matching is not that great for both and you can see the case under - has this strange deep at 3 kilohertz which I didn't see in any other measurements but it definitely shows up in the measurement and it's also here able I will average left and right for both the k612 Pro and the k7r - so we can read them a little bit better and overlaid you can see that the case NR 2 has less bass also the peaks at 5 & 8 cards are more pronounced there is also some slight hump at Pooh kilohertz so even from the measurements it's obvious that the k6r 12 prong is that meta sounding one although it has some Peaks not as strong as the case in our - it's still quite neutral sounding a little bit fresher maybe so let's compare it against the sennheiser HD 58 X Jubilee but without the inlays here so it also gets a little bit more treble heavy and they become maybe more comparable like this so I will start again with them AKG k612 prom playing the original track and the beginning at the end and switch between them AKG and the Sennheiser so let's have a listen is it just a dream of a man stop my fantasies come to me you are in my thoughts I never stray from the heart of you come to me we can't do we can't be am i touching you I wanna feel you could hear it's not that bad there is some slight channel imbalance therefore they definitely sounded different with imaging and Sun stage but I think for 100 euros it's a great open headphone just be careful how to place it on your head yeah maybe your ears are different but when I have them sent that it doesn't sound good so treble gets rather masked where is 5 kilo Hertz boost here but apart from that it's definitely somehow fresher sounding when the HD 58 X Jubilee less bass but still somehow enjoyable it's closer to what ie from the automatic er 3 XR so when I compare back and forth the AKG definitely has a more direct sound compared to the Sennheiser which is any bit muted again the term that I always read is sennheiser wheel but yeah depends I mean it's a little bit more expensive here I don't like this this headband so I really had to adjust promissory but I will probably do it with some glue I don't know so that it doesn't move upwards all the time but it's a really great headphone for around 100 euros much better than many others I definitely enjoyed more than the I had anemic DT 800 AD or many others quite neutral sound despite some Peaks I think it's quite acceptable and makes it simply a ple bit fresher yeah this was it for the AKG k612 Pro definitely much much better than the 702 overall still both sound similar this is to such a degree worse than it becomes unacceptable to me I cannot listen to this and this position dependence here is even worse because it really hard to get the sound right well here just putting it a little bit upwards makes it sound just fine so I hope this was helpful for you to give you an idea about the AKG k612 especially compared against some kind of reference like the sennheiser HD 58 X Jubilee which is only available on mass drop the soup get everywhere still he's written made in China so but I think it's okay really really nice at home and a keeper for me I just let it like this because yeah the wire is a lipid pool long maybe two meters or something but really really recommended if you want some fresh sounding sparkling open headphone which still is neutral and not to some degree colored neck most yeah thanks for watching I hope you like this a little bit and see the next video bye
