Premium Audiophile Open-Back Reference Headphones

The K812 premium audiophile reference headphones offer the most pure and natural sound possible. Designed for audiophiles and music professionals the K812 allows the listener to experience the smallest sonic details with the most accurate balance for mixing, mastering as well as listening enjoyment.

AKG custom designed their largest headphone transducers ever — 53mm — for the K812. They are tailored for high headroom and wide dynamic range, so those dynamic peaks in your music come through with full power and immediacy. The Tesla magnet system is among the strongest available in a headphone and delivers precise stereo imaging with pure, powerful sound.

The double-layer voice coil is ultra light for superior impulse control, meaning these headphones respond quickly and accurately to all the details of your music. It also ensures an incredibly wide frequency range, faithfully reproducing deep bass tones all the way to infrasonic frequencies.

The over-the-ear design of the K812s offer a relaxed fit, while the open-back earcups ensure properly regulated airflow for a natural cooling effect as well as a wide-open soundstage. The large memory foam earpads and mesh headband ensure maximum comfort for longer listening and mixing sessions. Steel arches hold the earcups in place with hinges that allow flexibility for a custom fit.

The K812's 3m cable is detachable and replaceable – it attaches to the left earcup's hinge with a 3-pin LEMO connector. The 36-ohm impedance rating makes these headphones great for a wide variety of listening devices, though they'll sound their best especially once run-in and driven by a high-quality headphone amplifier.
