I'm talking from experience, my K553 fell from hip level and the hinges broke, while i mistreat my DT770 the way Chris brown mistreated Rihanna, and they are brand new. K712 also had an issue with the earcup that would get loose. So yeah i'm talking about my proper experience with them, and notice how i said "for me". as in "my own opinion" to which i'm entitled to btw

Reply to Manufacturing issue on AKG K712 Pro / are they made in China? by yaddle41

AKG build went downhill a while ago, i myself and many others have had bad experience with it. For me AKG is a brand to avoid, their phones sounds great, but longevity is missing. I advise to check comment section on amazon, this is pretty common btw

Reply to just a newbie, what do you think? by flores_amarillas

Congrtulations on your purchase. For your next upgrades, as a newbie like you say, get on the tried and true trail. I'd say an HD560s would have been a good open back for a start, for a closed back you could have well went with the M40X from ATH, not the best, but for a beginner it's good enough.

Well for me it was just one drop and they are gone. Maybe there was a drop in quality, they are manufactured in china now, maybe your pair was better

Very good sounding headphones, but terrible terrible quality. They seem sturdy but they are definitely not ! Stay away

Every dongle thingy i've tried from both ends of the spectrum didn't sound any different than the apple dongle.

I prefer the K553 MKII, if this is supposed to be it's successor it flopped big time. I also heard the K361 and prefer it a lot to this

Reply to Tried Oratory EQ on multiple headphones and prefer the default sound. by wiggan1989

Maybe it's something to do with loudness ? Did you volume match ? Also some bright headphones (shouty if you may) are quite good with details, so when you apply the oratory EQ, the highs are brought down a notch so it does give the impression that there are less details in the music.

Also Note that the Oratory EQ doesn't always bring you to the harman curve as many variables are at sake here like the shape of your head, variations during manufacturing process...
