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.

Treble can be a little brittle on certain tracks

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.

First impression is the very large, comfy headphone cups, although they are a bit large if you like listening while reclining your head. But overall the headphones are ergonomically. The cushy.

To celebrate its 65th anniversary, Viennese manufacturer AKG introduced two limited-edition versions of older products: the C451 condenser microphone and K702 headphones. In this review I will focus on the new K702 65th Anniversary Edition headphones (K702-65).

I am completely blown away by the clarity of these headphones. I heard some distortion on my tracks and I was sure that it must be the headphones. I then listened to classical music on a public domain sample FLAC test track site, and sure enough these are truly AMAZING headphones.

I use it everyday for mixing and also watching movies. It's been a great sound always, crisp and clear with lots of details I cannot hear on other headphones. Only problem is that having it for a lot of time starts to feel on top of my head cause the leather has some small balls.

3 months of use exclusively on my kronos. I have not tried other models because that's what I wanted headphones after reading all the articles and opinions about this product.

These reference quality, open-backed headphones create a sound to rival hi-fi speakers ten times the price

These headphones are amazing - the best studio monitor headphones on the market - really precise sound.

Excellent sound quality. Experts say the AKG K702 headphones offer some of the most detailed sound among under-$1,000 headphones. Some feel the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones have a slight edge in the low end, while others argue that the AKG K702s are unmatched by even more expensive headphones.
