If you're looking for detail and a wide soundstage for critical listening at home or in the studio, and budget isn't a primary concern, the AKG K712 Pro would likely satisfy you with their open-back design and comfort. In contrast, if you need something versatile for everyday use, like commuting or working out, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are more affordable, portable, and offer the convenience of wireless connectivity, though they may not match the sound quality of the AKGs due to their closed-back and in-ear design. The Raycons also provide noise isolation which is beneficial in noisy environments, whereas the AKGs will not isolate noise and will leak sound, which makes them less ideal for public use.

"AKG has created a mini-masterpiece in my opinion. I enjoy this headphone a great deal and it will become my go-to reference headphone for the time being. She is slick, sexy, well-balanced, and crazy comfortable."

Wired
Parker Hall | January 2023
"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
