AKG K-702 5-stars Reviews

Probably the best bang for the buck in terms of soundstage, incredibly comfortable too. As most open cans, their bass loses a bit of its raw power and accuracy.

Great headphones for the price!

Those are really universal headphones. You can hear every detail in literally any kind of music, so it's perfect for both mixing and listening to the music. Definitely good thing is that those headphones can be driven by the mobile phone (doesn't require external headphone amp).

Amazing

The build quality is good even though its plastic, but the sound is amazing for this price point.

Very comfortable, excellent sound

These are by far the most comfortable headphones I've owned.

I've paired them with Sonarworks Reference 4 for mastering and they work like a dream.

Very classic AKG headphone

Thought about buying it for a long time and finally bought it. It didn't disappointed me. It worths the money. Personally, I like it very much and recommend it strongly.

Most comfortable open-back headphones I've ever had

These are the first headphones I could use all day long!

I use them for playing piano mainly, and the sound is very rich and clear, without too much bass, yet with enough highs and lows so they still sound great.

The cushions are large and not leatherette like most headphones these days but soft fabric like velvet, so they feel airy and the ears don't sweat.

I can wear them all day

They sound great, in all ranges. Moreover, I've worn them for hours and did not feel any discomfort. For its price, great headphones!

Pros:

- Comfort

- Quality sound

No cons. Get one of these, it will always be helpful.

No delusions

I've bought This product as a reference solution for mixing and mastering. Every aspettative was satisfied. Aural are very big (for my head) and gives a "strange" feeling around the ears. But the work they do is great!!

Very satisfied.

I absolutely love them

I use these for listening and studio work - i.e. mixing and occasional monitoring.

Great product, with basically no downsides. They're durable, sound great, and the price is good.

And the fact that they're open-back and quite lightweight allow me to use them as long as I want to, not as long as I can before my head and neck get tired (like with many other headphones, especially closed).

Good choice for practicing

Great sounding, comfortable headphones with detachable cable what else could you want.

Excellent

Are a little quieter than previous headphones but so much more comfortable. Used for all my studio monitoring and just listening to music

Good to go!

I would buy more on this model. Sound is very nice and clear with a reasonable price but the only things that annoy me was no carrying bag.

The headphones are too good ...

Ideal for gaming, too good quality.

Great sound.

Picked these up as need something to produce on at night when the studio monitors are too loud. Read lots of good things about the flat response and these are perfect. I'm writing on these and getting good results when switching to other outputs afterwards. There were quite a few complaints about the bass lacking but I'm driving these through the headphone amp on my Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 and they're both plenty loud enough and also have nice clear bass. These are nowhere near as weighty in terms of bass as other 'listening' headphones but these are true and flat and the bass still has a natural warmth to it - it just doesn't overpower the mids and highs as you've come to expect from coloured headphones. Very impressed with these for the money. A worthy investment for any studio!

You can wear it for hours

Bought these headphones about two years ago. As I am a sound enginner student I needed good reference headphones I can wear for hours and at an affordable price.

I use them to fine tune my mixes or edit sounds accurately and they are really accurate. No low mid rumble, no deafening basses and clear high ends. The impedance mean you need an audi interface to have a good enough output level though.

They're sturdy, as I have brought them along quite some times and they still hold perfectly. The best part for me is that they're really comfortable and since they're open headphones your hears arent too strained from the pressure. You do need to be in a quiet environment though as they dont isolate you from external noise.

Would buy again anydays.

Very confortable and nice sound

Although they are a little bit heavy and large for my head, the elasticity of the headband is just enough to hold them in place without hurting.

The sound quality is very nice and when used with a software that can tune them for flatter EQ then even better.

Works very nice for recording bass

Great headphones

One of the best headphones I've heard so far in my life.

Flat throughout whole frequency spectrum, detailed and super comfortable even after longer period of listening which makes them perfect for critical listening. Although I'm extremely satisfied with sound reproduction, I must say that if you prefer bass-heavy headphones, then these ones are not for you.

On my older pair that I own for over five years, elastic suspension is completely stretched so I will see what will be the case with the new pair.

Pros:

- ultra linear frequency response

- comfortable

- detachable cable

Cons:

- headphone amp needed to drive them properly

- not so great headband suspension design

Though I strongly believe that you cannot make a good mix using headphones with these ones you may take a chance) Flat, uncoloured, with great frequency response (they say 10 - 39800 Hz and I swear it shows) and beautiful spacial scene. The best for the price. Love it.

Grat product!

My recommendations. Exactly what I needed.

Soft for ears, good sound. Good quality.

Excellent headphones for a reasonable price

These headphones have a clear, unbiased sound that I've found very helpful for mixing. They don't accentuate any frequencies but provide a clarity that's really helpful.

They're open-back so be aware there might be some bleed if you use them for tracking near a microphone.

They're very comfortable to use for extended periods. I don't wear them all day, but I've worn them for an hour or two at a time and haven't experienced any discomfort. The build quality is solid, but lightweight enough to remain comfortable. I've been using mine for 2 years and they're still almost as-new.

The cable is detachable, which is a plus - in the event it gets damaged it can be replaced easily. Just be aware that it does use a very compact 3 pin connector on the headphone side, so it needs a specific cable, rather than the more common 2.5/3.5mm stereo jack used by some headphones. On the plus side, the connector locks into place so it won't get pulled out accidentally and hasn't gotten loose over time.

In general I'm very happy with these headphones, and would buy them again without any concerns.
