Thanks for the comparison. I think it's good that the soft ear cups don't press on the ear itself but on the skull. The K712 costs almost as much as the Ollos. The K701 are good for rock, but for metal the bass could be really too less. So I think: If you have money, you'll have the Ollos, otherwise you'll have the K701 for rock or DT880 for metal. Just try it out.I have 4 headphones. Since I don't like closed headphones, these are only open ones:
AKG K-701
AKG K-712
Ollo S4X
Austrian Audio Hi-X65
Use them mostly for practicing at home or wherever I am. I think that these are very decent headphones in their price range but there is still a ranking:
I like the Ollo S4X best because they translate very good to my FRFR live-setup. And they fit perfectly on my ears.
The AKG K-712 sound very close but I find the ear shells a bit large. Although I wouldn't say that I have small ears.
3rd place is the AKG K-701. I always think that there is something missing in the low end and they have the same size of ear shells than the other AKG K-712.
4th place is the Hi-X65. I always think that there is a "hole" somewhere in the high mids and they doesn't fit well on my head.
