The K702's are reference, open, over-ear studio headphones for precision listening, mixing and mastering. They combine an extremely accurate response with agility and spaciousness. This is achieved by using revolutionary flat-wire voice coils and a patented Varimotion two-layer diaphragm. A totally open design and a high-performance cable complete these reference headphones. The K702's comfortable, specially shaped 3D-foam ear pads and a genuine-leather headband ensure a perfect fit. They provide a professional mini XLR connector for quick replacement of the cable. The K702s are individually tested and serial-numbered.

 If you've invested in some good audio gear, these AKGs will let you hear a lot more of what your setup is capable of. I would recommend them if you're looking for a very clear and accurate pair of cans. However, if reference grade analytical headphones aren't your thing, the Sennheiser HD600 is a good alternative, for a similar price. It's also very detailed and accurate, but adds that little bit of musicality and warmth to the sound signature that a lot of people like

 But despite this, the head strap is still the source of my one major complaint about the headphone's physical design. The thin strap works well, but leaves something to be desired in terms of comfort. I find you need to find the right angle with this strap for it to sit on your head comfortably. The first time I put it on, it seemed to dig into my scalp until I moved it forward

 Anyway, these large black cups with their silver trim and honeycomb-style casing are elegant and minimal at the same time, and more importantly, fit quite comfortably. These thick velour-covered ear pads surround your ears very easily and fit to your head nice and snugly. This leather head strap gave me some concern when I first looked at it because it looks almost too flimsily attached, but once I put it on, it turned out to be very solid on my head. The elastic attachments mean that the strap adjusts automatically to the wearer's head each time it's put on, which makes it a very easy fit

 I find you need to find the right angle with this strap for it to sit on your head comfortably. The first time I put it on, it seemed to dig into my scalp until I moved it forward. Once I found the right spot, I was able to wear the K702 comfortably. But I noticed when I've been wearing them for a little while, it's always the head strap that starts to feel uncomfortable

A Look at the AKG K702 Headphones

The AKG K702 are great, comfortable headphones for critical listening but are mediocre for everyday casual use. Their open design doesn't block any noise and leaks enough to be distracting. They're not made for commuting or to use at the gym but are ideal for appreciating high-quality audio in a quiet environment.

AKG K702

 Technically speaking, the 702 is one of the most capable headphones to ever hit the market. It still remains relevant after many years, even despite a barrage of new products flooding the market, mid-fire otherwise. Is it as good as a planar magnetic? It's eerily close to matching the tonal qualities of one, that's for sure. And comparing the 702's timbre to something like a Deva, Sundara, 400i, etc

 It's not quite as light as the K240, but the cups are deeper, and you won't have issues with the driver hitting your ears and causing discomfort. Furthermore, the efficiency of the hammock-style adjustment ensures you'll always get a perfect fit. The headband, while not padded, improved upon the original Austrian-made bumps on the underside. I could play it amongst a plethora of different users

 A characteristic of the 702 that makes it stand out from the crowd. Given a song that was mixed, mastered, and recorded properly, it could sound so realistic that you might actually think for a split second that it's playing in front of you, or behind you, or to your right or left. The K7 or 2 is perhaps the best at replicating this rich, natural, true to life, and incredibly intimate aspect of the listening experience that most headphones sorely lack. There's no mistaking that distinction once you hear it

 It's comfortable and built very well. The velour padding is a tad stiffer than a Bay or even a K612, but it still doesn't need an adjustment of any kind. I can wear one on my head almost indefinitely, no matter the session duration. The clamping force is almost perfect, and the headphone is very sturdy despite being incredibly light

💡Before YOU Buy A K702, WATCH THIS!!

Far from portable, the K 702 is a very large over-the ear set of headphones, with extra soft velour covered cushions. The real leather/metal wire headband distributes the weight of the 'phones evenly across your head, which means you can wear these headphones for hours at a time and they'll remain nice and comfy. And the headband is clearly marked "L" and "R" so you'll never make a mistake when donning the headphone. The K 702 is hand assembled and tested in Austria, which shows in that build quality, fit, finish, and durability are all first-rate

 That is, the drums were more realistic sounding with the RS1, though the K 702's bass and dynamics were still quite good. Again, we preferred the K 702 for its open, spacious sound, which was even more evident with movies than it was with music. 

Next, we watched a few movies and the K 702's spatial qualities came to the fore. On the "Mad Men: Season 1" Blu-ray, the sound of the large offices, with dozens of IBM typewriters clacking in the distance, was especially convincing. We could even hear murmured conversations of executives behind closed office doors. The Grado RS1's bass went a little deeper and was more impactful on the "House of Flying Daggers" DVD's circle of drums scene

AKG K 702 review: AKG K 702

 The thick foam padding on the ear pads mean that these are a pretty comfortable pair of headphones to wear. The pressure that is put against your head isn't too firm but it is firm enough to get to keep them in place quite reasonably well. They are though almost entirely made of plastic except for obviously the metal speaker component and the leather headband so I'm not 100% sure just how long these are going to last. But I would say they would last a lot longer if you use them in a static situation like in a studio and use them with your door than perhaps if you start throwing them in a bag and try to take them out with you and listen to stuff on the go

 It's probably about as flat as you're going to get them for this kind of money and for me that's what I'm looking for. Very flat spectrum sound to give me as good a reflection of the recording that I'm mixing as possible. I've matched these with my Tascam US16AXL8 audio digital interface and for me they work very well together and they're giving me the response that I'm looking for so I don't have to rely on studio speakers as much. They run from 10Hz to 39

 Sound wise I think these and the Tascam are actually very well matched. Now I have done a sound test but it's not what I would call massively technical. I took this headset and I wrapped it around a round microphone. I played some music through these headphones and I recorded the output from these headphones into the microphone and then I took a pair of very very cheap Neumark DJ headphones and I did exactly the same thing

 Hi, my name is Trove Hutchings and these are the AKG K702 reference studio headphones. In the box you get the headphones, a 3 meter long detachable headphone cable which has got a quarter inch jack connector that can be unscrewed and underneath you've got a 3.5 millimeter jack connector and you get various bits of paper one of which is a warranty card. The headset itself is of an around the ear design so your ears sit inside the pads and the pads rest against your head and not against your ears

Are the AKG K702 headphones worth buying?

 It's hard to put my finger on. When listening to to a big epic soundtrack, the soundstage is filled up and these headphones shine like nothing else, but listening to anything rock, for instance (September Mourning, Egypt Central, Papa Roach, Trivium, Violet Orlandi covers, etc.), they just sound.

 So wide, in fact, that I find that most of the music I listen to struggles to fill its soundstage leading to this... distant quality to the sound that I don't get with anything else

  Cons: -Soundstage (again). I wanted wide and wide is what I got. So wide, in fact, that I find that most of the music I listen to struggles to fill its soundstage leading to this.

 I have a medium sized head and small-medium ears. The headband, while a suspension design, is an incredibly rigid strip of leather that doesn't conform to the head at all, so I get a hot spot at the center of the headband that gets unbearable after an hour or two. The stock earpads are big and relatively spacious for my ears, but might be a bit close to the drivers if your ears stick out further than mine. They are also quite stiff, so they don't seal very well

I really wanted to love these...

 I can still hear the wood wind players take their breath and hear the pick as it releases the guitar strings, but i had to add 3db @ 500 4dB @ 800 and 3dB @ 1K to pull the recessed mids out at first, but after some burn in the treble (5Khz+) calmed down to be silky smooth and in no way harsh or to prevalent. After 30 hours I was ablr to cut the eq needed in half and now the dt990's sound so good its hard to take them off. For the price, they are simply spectacular. The HFI-580's on the other hand turned into a gift for the wife to listen to her kindle on

  *update* 11-20-12 After more burn in, the left can warmed up to a totally different sound stage and freq response than the right, I thought maybe it was an issue with my source, confirmed it was not, turned my attention to my bellari ha540, tryed an old pair of sony's I had laying around and both channels were even and clear as a bell, thinking it may still be the bellari somehow, I picked up a Bravo V2, same thing... Thought well maybe its my luck and the tubes arent up to par to run the 702's so I rolled tubes on both amps and still the same thing

..  *update* 11-20-12 After more burn in, the left can warmed up to a totally different sound stage and freq response than the right, I thought maybe it was an issue with my source, confirmed it was not, turned my attention to my bellari ha540, tryed an old pair of sony's I had laying around and both channels were even and clear as a bell, thinking it may still be the bellari somehow, I picked up a Bravo V2, same thing.

.. The bass never came out like I thought it would, and by the time I had eq'd the bass to my spec (not a bass head mind you, I'm a reference/audiophile guy, the drivers were distorting trying to keep the extension low enough to use the cans for good ambient media.

Dont judge them right out of the box, on second hand...

 I'm probably just going to pay the extra to get the HD 600 and leave it at that and be satisfied.  At the end of the day for my first time ever experiencing the AKG K702's, it does not satisfy me even at such a low price of 138. I wouldn't pay anymore for these and I'm most likely going to return them.  I would only recommend the K702's as a budget option if you can't find something else near the 200 range

 The K702 is for sure at least a whole tier or two below the HD 600 and I will never ever consider buying these again as the replacement or to use in general. They are very comfortable and they fit my big ears pretty well. They are lightweight as well with a detachable cable and a screw on 1/4in adapter, pretty nice features. I do like the firm but comfortable pads Overall, I don't even consider these as competition for my super old Sennheiser HD 595

  Not really a con or pro, just something to note, you're going to need an amp to power these for higher volumes and full body.  I'm so divided on keeping these, but I'm pretty let down honestly.

Was hoping for more, but fell short for me unfortunately

 it's THAT dramatic, much more so with the K812. I cannot bear to listen to the 702 anymore for serious music and will sell it soon or use it for movies.  ---Original Review--- I have owned these headphones for 3 years now and I listen to Classical and opera almost exclusively. I divide my time 50-50 between home listening and attending major concerts/operas in Los Angeles and Orange County, so I think I am well qualified to judge audiophile hi-fi gear at least in so far as acoustic music is concerned

I divide my time 50-50 between home listening and attending major concerts/operas in Los Angeles and Orange County, so I think I am well qualified to judge audiophile hi-fi gear at least in so far as acoustic music is concerned.  Having read all the reviews and comments noting the "bass-shyness", all I am going to say is this -- The 'stock sound' of the AKG K702 right out of the box is absolutely clean, natural and 'flat' across the full audio spectrum; HOWEVER, it can take any amount of bass that you care to throw at it, by dialing up the tonal control on your receiver or amp. I use the Onkyo A-5VL Hybrid Integrated Amplifier (via coaxial optical input) that allows such tonal control when I feel more bass is needed (as in orchestral and organ music), as well as the "Pure" mode that bypasses the amp's internal equalization ciruitry (when I listen to chamber music and lieder)

---Update 8/12/2015--- After owning the AKG flagship K812 for a few months as well as Sennheiser HD600, I am regrettably compelled to take off 2 stars because the other two were simply that much better. Without going into all the technical details, all I am going to say is, using the same classical music audiophile playlist that I do with all my new headphone auditions, the results I got from K702/HD600 and K702/K812 comparisons were like night and day, 2D and 3D, Technicolor and Sepia Tone..

I have yet to audition the newer AKG K812, Oppo PM-1, Audeze LCD-3 but cannot imagine anything finer than these that i have.  As per caveat above, my review is strictly for Classical music/opera only and the AKG K702 is just perfect.

Perfect for Classical Music/Opera ***updated 8/12/15***

 They always sound like they are on the edge of distortion but if you give it more volume, they still don't distort or become too bright. The bass does hit on bass heavy tracks but I prefer an underlying bass presence. I don't like the two cords it comes with. They are really a very decent pair of headphones but I just don't think they belong in this price range

 There are so many other great headphones for this kind of money! I think I would have kept them if they were about $175 but definitely not the mid $300 range. I hope this helps someone make the right decision!

These headphones are probably very good for gaming but I bought them for music listening. They look and feel very cheaply made but actually I think they could take a beating. Extremely comfortable self fitting headband and some of the best velour ear cups I have ever worn. My problem is the sound

 Extremely comfortable self fitting headband and some of the best velour ear cups I have ever worn. My problem is the sound. I know these AKG's were never made for bass but these 712's are supposed to have a 3db bass boost over previous models but unfortunately still not nearly enough for me. The mids and treble are basically very good
