AKG K702 Review

The AKG K702 are completely neutral open-back reference headphones designed for professional mixing and mastering. They don't emphasize anything. Everything is exactly as it is on your recording.

AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition

Unless I have around $500 just for buying a pair of headphone, I don't think I will be giving these up. If you can find these at around $300 or the K712 for a little bit more than $300, it is definitely worth considering, but if you wanted something warm and bassy with great sound resolution, I...
Pros:
  • Detailed
  • natural sound
  • good soundstage
  • very comfortable
Cons:
  • A little loose fitting..
  • can't think of anything else

A solid pair of cans for music production and mixing

In my very subjective opinion, the k702s are great studio headphones for the price.
Pros:
  • -Durable
  • -Great sound: Natural
  • revealing
  • and detailed sound
  • -Great spatial sonic field
  • -Detachable cable is always a plus for me
  • -I got these for under $300
  • so pretty good deal compared to other headphone of comparable quality
Cons:
  • -Kind of "fugly" and Bulky (if you care bout that
  • -Poor isolation & leak noise
  • not the best to use in public
  • but that's not what they're made for
  • -Sort of inefficient as far as power
  • you'll need to drive these harder than other headphones

K702's PROVIDE REMARKABLE ACCURACY

I purchased my K702's to use in Professional Reference Situations (ie - Film Post, Recording, Mastering). In my search for a pair of Professional Circumaural, Dynamic, Open-Back Reference Headphones, I narrowed my search to two models. The Sennheiser HD650's and the AKG K702's respectively.

AKG K702 vs. Sennheiser HD650

The much-discussed "veil" of the HD650 is immediately discernable, influencing what sounds like the upper midranges of human voice frequencies. The AKG K702 has a very fast rate of rendition, and this can be heard in the difference in older rock CDs which sound voice-muddled on the HD650.

The first impression one gets of these headphones is of a well built product with great retro styling , they ooze class. When you put them on you immediately feel the comfort with no undue pressure and a nice soft velour ear cushion that holds them firmly in place.
Pros:
  • Style
  • Build
  • Comfort
  • Clarity Of Sound
Cons:
  • Treble can be a little brittle on certain tracks
