AKG K712 Pro
The K712 Pro is a pro-tier open-back built for a wide soundstage in mixing and mastering, with a 62-ohm load. Its open design and spacious imaging make it a capable reference for detailed stereo work. That openness bleeds, so it's wrong for tracking, and at 62 ohms it wants a proper headphone amp rather than a weak built-in output to reach its potential.
