What are the Wavelet's filter parameters? Are these peak filters? What is the Q factor, if applicable?

It's relatively new, people aren't noticing it yet. This is currently one of the best under $1000 open backs, IMO.

No. They are like soft sponge when pressed. On touch they are like very soft leather.

I find them comfortable. About durability, it's too early to say. They look durable, but we shall see...

Wonderful, robust build headphone, au pair or second to only DT770. Nice, industrial look. Excellent comfort. Medium weight (at cca. 300g) but comfortable. Soft headband and pads. Robust and flexible mechanism. This is how headphone should be designed. Open back. You'll hear the environment and...

Fostex T40RPmk3

AKG K7xx series is praised for it soundstage...

How is progress with the new probe? Did you make some new measurements?

I was also surprised at first about his detailed subjective opinions, but now I think it's ok, we all have our impressions. His measurements are first class and a great source of information.

Underrated: Fostex T40RP mk3 Best closed back for the price. Fantastic value. Comfort is only somewhat problematic.

@MayaTlab : How is the current situation with the pads? Did they stabilise? Did you manage to derive a stabile EQ?

Used HD800.

In the hope that mechanical issues was just an unlucky sample, the pad issue seems the biggest one. Did you contact Austrian Audio about the issue? The options seems to me: a) AA make a new revision of more stable pads b) pads stabilize after some time and oratory1990 make new measurement with...

Really unpleasantly surprised with the QC issues. Was hoping that Austrian Audio will bring us back to the times of serious QC. Headphones do look really robust, pity about presence of such issues. Also, unpleasant surprise. Don't recall such issues with the old AKG pads. (And one model I have...

Trust facts, not authorities.

Sensitivity is about 99db/VRMS. It should be easy to drive.

Fostex T40RPmk3. Close back with planar clarity and great bass for a great price. Comfort could be better, though.

I would say K712 is a great headphone. Comfortable with spacious sound second only to HD800, but with warmer tonality. With EQ it became fantastic. Really surprised with distortion on K7xx. I suspect that this is limited to the Drop version.
