When it comes to headphones, you may know of the "S" brands: Sennheiser, Sony, and Shure, but audiophiles have long been listening to Austrian-made AKG Acoustics. As a long time user of AKG headphones, we felt it worth our (and your) time to introduce you to a set that might not necessarily fly on...
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.
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).
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.
Excellent overall music quality; Build and design quality; Works well with low-power devices
Bulky; Expensive; No carrying case
