    Varimotion Diaphragm Technology

    The AKG K612 PRO Headphones utilizes AKG’s patented Varimotion Diaphragm Technology. This revolutionary technology boasts a two-layer design with one lightweight thin layer and one thicker dense layer. The outer edges of the material are thin, resulting in an extended low-end response, whilst the thicker material provides high SPL handling for superior audio performance. This allows AKG to precisely tune the drivers to provide the best possible performance, resulting in powerful, accurate sound that remains feedback-free.

    Ideal for Mixing and Mastering

    Combining the custom Varimotion Diaphragm technology with computer-optimized neodymium magnets, the K612 PRO headphones boast exceptional audio fidelity. The Varimotion technology provides premium-grade stereo imaging and pristine sound, whilst the neodymium magnets deliver ultra-low transducer distortion. The result is full and spacious sound that captures every nuance of your sound thanks to the wide frequency range and high-grade components.

    Phenomenal Comfort

    With a variety of premium materials and design aspects, the K612 PROs envelope you in luxurious comfort. The genuine-leather self-adjusting headband caters to any head size and shape with an ergonomic fit. The earpads are made from Velour, making them soft to the touch and easy on the ears. These design aspects help to minimize listening fatigue.

    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.
