Sounds great but

The sound they make is very clear and spacious at both ends however the plastic build feels slightly flimsy and the headband can start to ache after a while. Maybe I just need to break them in as the headband is a firm leather

Superb

Really can't fault these at all. Obviously no headphones are perfect but I've been really impressed with these.

I'm currently mixing without having any speakers at all but its very rare I have any big surprises when I take the mix on to a speaker system. They're also super comfy and easy on the ears during long mix sessions.

Exellent

Very balanced and clean! Absolute high level quality sound! Best headphones u could get! I got this ones and a pair of Bayerdynamic DT-770, because they are closed, but AKG K-702 is definitely the winner!

Excellent rapport qualité/prix

Étant habitué aux casques grand public (JBL et Marshall) j'avais quelques craintes dans l'utilisation d'un casque de monitoring pour écouter de la musique sur mon PC.

Et bien je dois avouer que je ne regrette absolument mon choix ! J'ai pu redécouvrir des morceaux que je pensais connaitre sur le bout des doigts…

Seul point négatif quand comme moi on a peu (voir pas) de cheveux le cerceau fait un peu mal au crane.

Very good headphones overall

OK, so I needed an open back headphones for critical listening and after I watched few reviews I settled on the K-702s. The ratio price/quality is quite good with these. I think they give similar experience to listening to a pair of near field monitors, which sometimes I need when I want to edit tracks or even mix at home. Of course they bleed sound out (hence the open design) but not to the point that bother anyone else in the room. The sound in my opinion is very good with crisp highs and detailed mid-range and low end. As I said before really close to what you would hear from your studio monitors. Many times I did the 85% of the mix at home and then check it and finished it at the studio. The materials feel kinda cheep and they are quite bulky but this is not a deal breaker for me. Also they are not as comfortable on the head as ATH-M50s for example. They feel kinda loose but this can be a good thing in hot days because they let my ears breathe. I must say though that both of the ear-cup drivers stopped producing sound at some point so I needed to send them for repair at two different occasions. Luckily the repair was quite easy and cheap and I haven't had any problems since. In conclusion I must say I am quite satisfied with them. Also the detachable cable is a plus for me.

First studio-class Hi-Fi headphones... Quite satisfied!

Have got few pairs of headphones (Momentum, 1Am2, B&O HX), but none of them gave so much detail. Great for classics since I could "see" where the instruments are.

Using laptop as sound output so the bass is not well presented, and the sound is still good.

Great all-round

I've been using these headphones for a little over two years since my K-701s gave up the ghost after many years.

I use them for production, gaming, watching shows and YouTube online, everything. Personally I really like the sound, and the addition of a replaceable cable compared with the 701s puts the mind at ease.

Comfort-wise, the leather headband is smooth on the underside compared to the bumps on the 701s and is suspended so really nice to put on every time. The large ear pads fit over the ears and are beautifully cushioned. I get some fatigue across the top of my head and ears, but can easily wear them for 6 hours without noticing - something I pretty regularly.
