I owned a 712 for about a year, they didn’t get a lot of use, comfort and soundstage are good and I’m a sucker for orange, everything else is uneventful, it’s not bad by any means, but not a set that grabbed me

The nature of good transparent headphones is that they're absolutely boring, agreed! I think people come to appreciate those sorts of sets later in life as hearing goes and things get muddied, keeping things separated, clean, and resolving tends to shine there~

Like putting on glasses as vison grows poor!

That said, I think everyone would benefit from at least one set of GOOD transparent headphones so they have something to compare against; a "Control" so to speak so you can reference what some of the wonkier Frequency responses sound like in comparison to just "Transparent" sound
