K-702 : Glad I took advice

Took me a long time to pick a decent set of monitor headphones and glad I did. These are quite cheap for the quality. very light, easy to forget you're wearing them, and the sound quality is excelent for the price. I spent a long time discussing online with a friend who's a sound engineer and headphone geek (he used to use these)

I use them in a small home studio so it's always hard to choose new equipment. no point spending thousands on anything if you're plugging it into something that cost hundreds (in this case mostly Apogee Gio).

the cable is replaceable. I need to do that because it comes with a fairly flimsy(ish) wire that's perfectly good for what I need but I tend to roll over stuff on my swivel chair constantly.

Sound is good, very flat response, none of this unwanted extra bass some manufacturers insist you want .

They do tend to fall off quite alot but that's because they're so light you forget you're wearing them and I'm clumsy with the lead.

The impedence is quite high, as you'd expect so don't buy them for your iPod, you will probably need some sort of headphone preamp to drive them properly.

They're open backed which may be a personal preference issue but for me, I always prefer open for monitoring/critical listening, and for vocals (tend to get better pitching but does mean a bit of sound bleeding).
