AKG K812
Audio enthusiasts expect a top-shelf headphone to meet certain criteria. Tonal accuracy is paramount, but a comfortable fit and a refined design—something that looks extra-sweet in the soft glow of a vacuum tube amp—are just as crucial. AKG’s new open-back headphone plucks all those strings, marrying precise sonic engineering with premium fit and finish. Special hinges ensure each cup snugly envelops the ear, and massive 53-mm drivers—the biggest AKG has ever built—bring astonishing clarity to everything from von Karajan to Van Halen. Each set also comes with a laminated wood stand. Because owning a world-class headphone isn’t just about the listening experience; it’s also about letting everyone know you spent a month’s rent boosting your tunes.
