Offered is „AKG K812 High End Kopfhörer OVP mit Sieveking Ständer“ by AKG as second-hand device from the category „Wire bound Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6390240104 ends on 18.12.2026 at 07:25 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for the AKG K812: €899 sits just above the €850 median of recent comparable listings, but remains comfortably below the €1,012 75th percentile. It is therefore a fair, defensible price rather than a bargain; modest negotiation would be reasonable, especially if accessories or pad condition are less than complete.
The K812 remains a compelling flagship open-back for spacious, highly detailed listening, with excellent imaging, comfort, and a full-range presentation. Its 36-ohm load is easy for most headphone amps, while the large drivers give music impressive scale and separation. At this price, it makes most sense for a buyer who specifically values its airy, expansive character; check that the cable, adapter, pads, and headband are present and in good shape, since replacements can affect the real value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
AKG traces its roots to post-war Vienna, Austria, where physicist Dr. Rudolf Görike and engineer Ernst Pless founded Akustische und Kino-Geräte Gesellschaft m.b.H. in 1947. Emerging from the ruins of World War II, the duo initially supplied cinemas with loudspeakers, film projectors, and light meters, handcrafting products in a modest basement with just five employees. Rapid expansion followed, as AKG ventured into car horns, intercoms, and carbon microphone capsules, quickly gaining traction with radio stations, theaters, and jazz clubs across Europe.
The brand's product focus sharpened on professional audio excellence, pioneering headphones in 1949 and achieving global acclaim with the D12 microphone in 1953, which set standards for voice transmission. AKG became renowned for high-fidelity microphones, including iconic models like the C12 tube mic, alongside headphones, wireless systems, and phonograph cartridges. While early diversification included cinema gear, the company honed in on studio-grade transducers and monitoring tools, later incorporating digital wireless tech.
Today, under Harman International (a Samsung subsidiary since 2017), AKG holds a commanding position as a pro-audio powerhouse, favored by engineers, performers, and broadcasters for its precision and reliability. It bridges mid-tier accessibility with high-end heritage, appealing to discerning hi-fi buyers seeking reference-quality headphones and mics that deliver uncolored, transparent sound— a legacy of Austrian engineering that remains a studio staple worldwide.
