Great review. My favorite headphones for listening to Post Malone are ear plugs.

Favorite headphones of all time ... they do a great job of being inaccurately accurate ... I love them because they are "fun reference" headphones. The sound stage, low distortion, and hi-fidelity is just like nothing else

Listening to this through my K702s. Why am I watching a review of the product I'm using? Great headphones, though. I've been really, really happy with them. I listen to a bit of everything, and other headphones might sound better for rock or jazz or classical or hip-hop specifically, but I've never found any other headphone that sounds as good all around for my purposes.

If you're in the U.S. and looking to buy these just know you can save $200 by buying them from amazon UK for $150 instead of $350 U.S. retail. Hope that helps!

Informative vid. Thx

Just ordered them as my first pair for mixing audio on headphones. Next up will be kali audio monitors for the future :)

Thanks pal- just found a pair on eBay for £40 so doesn't sound like you can go wrong. Need them for reference mixing/production, tho my genre is house/deep house so slightly different! Great job 🙌

Great review. I appreciate the finer details on the topic. Only critique, I really would appreciate if you could actually put them on my head. Can you get a teleportation system, please? Outside of that 10/10.

Can you tell the difference of k550 mk1 and k702 if talking about mixing eq curve etc. I don't have anymore original earpads in k550 and wondering if these cans would be nice replacement even I have now 3rd party replacement pads on k550. They don't feel like the originals too bad

8:23 Finally someone tells me the really important details. Thank you! #NoTechieGibberish

They still make these?! I had some in 2011! Mad.

Hi there. Just bought these headphones at Thoman Musik / Germany. Price with delivery 111€. They will arrive today, can't wait ...

Is it good when i recording my voice with karaoke, will it be karaoke noise will it be come out ?

hi, are there any differences between the AKG K702 and the AKG K702 65th anniversary? it seems to me that the 65th came out much earlier, so what has changed with the K702 model, has there been any updates?

I had Q701 for a very long time and they served me great for 9 years. I bought the K702 to replace them and they sounded no where close to as good as my Q701. They also broke less than a 2 months in. I had to send them in to get fixed which cost me 35 dollars in shipping. Wish I would have went with something else.

You look like a mix of Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire

I like that mike sound. What is it?

Do you use them for digital piano? Have you tried any better option for this?

One thing to note is that these headphones are really good for mixing if you are at least somewhat knowledgeable in your profession and have a few other sources to reference with. I have them, they're great but the ''width'' can be misleading, especially when mixing, and you should note that one factor that makes them sound that wide is the fact that bass frequencies are non-existent (it starts rolling off slightly above 100hz) comparing to some other products. Also a nice headphone preamp is almost a must with these. They do not sound bad without it but in practice you're not using them efficiently and do not get a flat response and detail, especially on the low end. They do have exceptionally good mid-range detail and can serve as a good tool but I'm not sure I would recommend them if you're a beginner-ish and these will be your only pair.

Thank you! So occasionally can I use the k702 with my phone? I don't need to listen at very high volumes

I bought these almost a decade ago for gaming specifically because of the soundstage. It's one of the biggest sound stages you can get at any price point (yes, at any price point) and they're great for open world games, shooters, racing games, you name it... They're a bit "soft" on bass but you can change that in EQ if you want to. I'm going to to the balanced mod on them next and the only reason why I might buy another pair of headphones is because I want to try some planar magnetic headphones like the Arya or the LCD-X... What I will say is that you really need to a headphone amp for these. They'll work if you just plug them in on a PC or laptop but you're doing yourself a disservice. I've ran then with a cheap Bravo Audio tube amp and now I have them with a Fiio K3 and they work amazingly well especially with the Hi Res audio and the Dolby Atmos for Headphones codec in Windows.

I don't know if I'll ever understand why people say that flat and uncoloured sound signatures aren't good for listening to music. I love hearing every little detail in my music, so having more low-end or more treble than the actual signal isn't enjoyable to me.

I changed the ear pads for the brainwavz xl micro suede . More comfort ,the bass is better and the treble is not as bright. Makes good headphones even better .

Hey Eric great video I'm thinking about going in to recording like recording instrumental music cause I like. And I tried using regular over the ear headphones and they don't work so I'm gonna get some of those akg ones .

Hey, I liked your video. I order these headphones. I'll receive it next week. I don't know if I'm in the right place to ask, but you'll just have to say it to me if it's not. I mainly play video games with headphones. No mixing or anything like this. I'm not an audiophile either. There's too many things I just don't really understand about sound. I just know most of gaming headsets aren't great or too expensive. So, I thought about the solution good headphones with "game style" amp. I have a wh-1000-xm3, and I don't really like using it on my PC. So I found these for 130 € and bought the soundblasterx G6 with it. I'm just in unknown grounds here lol. But do you think it's a good solution for me? The problem with headphones and all sound related stuff is that it's hard to grasp until you try it, but it's not a really affordable thing.

just bought some but they are so quiet. was expecting more. perhaps its my zoom H4 interface not loud enough, but even at 100 volume my mixes are quiet. like not enough volume all around. perhaps an amp is needed, but like you, thats not what i wanted.

I have these headphones. I have hundreds of clients all over the world. I take audio very seriously. These headphones are amazing.

Would you say these are good for just hearing music? I listen to instrumental music the most time, but I wouldn't use these AKGs for mixing, just for hearing music :)

The srh 440 are great. Most akgs have those kind of headbands. K52, k72 and k92.

Dt990 pro 80 ohm or K702 ? Please help!!! I produce EDM, house in general.

These headphones are specifically designed for studio applications and are absolutely ideal for mixing a song at 96 kilohertz or 192 kilohertz or more. That's why they are optimized for a very high frequency range. With these headphones it is also possible to mix a 64-bit resolution of sound wonderfully because even the finest nuances are reproduced. I have to say that I have a 32-bit audio interface and use plugins that sometimes even go up to 72-bit sound resolution. Most high-quality audio interfaces only go up to 24 bit, but that wasn't enough for me. So if you work with music software and do audio engineering, then it's good if you convert everything in a very high resolution and then edit it, and with these headphones you can still have even the finest nuances mapped and reproduced. At these higher resolutions the plug-ins have much more precision when editing and therefore a little more sound quality can be achieved if you know what you are doing. I want to mention all of this because with studio mixing & mastering headphones like the K702 it is absolutely possible that you get excellent sound because you automatically hear much better with these headphones than with ordinary studio headphones.

Just got these babies for 69EUR, can't wait to try them out!

I bought the 701's which I think are the same, just a different colour. I was very underwhelmed by their performance. I can only compare them to the Sennheiser 660S. I used them to listen to music, not mixing. Maybe that's a mistake. I'm sure they have their place, but I found them to be kind of cheap feeling, they're HUGE... and the ear cups are shallow. My ears were touching the mesh inside (and no I don't have big ears) 🤣 and the 701's don't have a detachable cord unfortunately. Also, the volume level dropped significantly compared to the same setup with the Sennheisers

Im considering these, just beacuse they are 150 dollars where I live and they have (supposedly) very good imaging which would be nice for FPS games.

I have these and while yes the sound is very sharp and clear I find them incredibly quiet. The volume capacity is barely 50% of my Audio Technicas. Can this be solved by simply using an amp ? If so can anyone recommend one under 200$ ? Thanks

Is Made in Áustria ???

The headband creates a feeling of irritation if you have little or no hair after a while. otherwise it is very good headphones. it might have been better to apply some kind of soft foam .

Thanks for the review. Is it confortable with glasses ? Is it à good option to just listenning music or is it essentially for mixing ? Thanks for your answer.

fun headphones

Thank you. I am using this Marantz HD DAC1 with AKG K702. Headphones are great, however they seem to have a problem with sub bass. I can hear some rattling, although not everytime. For example I can hear it in this test kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9eVft2Z2827dn0.html but not here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atyFp7uVvdPSgnk.html. It rattles only on left side of headphones.

Is this sibilant

Do you think these would be good for gaming?

😁👍👍EXCELLENT VIDEO👍👍😁

is this really a upgrade over K240? i do alot mixing, mastering as well!

AKG Headphone Mode is Here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fcmEq92Iv9PZpWg.html

AKG rulz. Don"t get them in America, though, they cost 2x or 3x as much there as in Germany.

"I'm going to put on some Post Malone and enjoy this song," said no one ever.

currently on sale for $149 @ Adorama

Who is Post Malone / A basketball player ?

They need an amp lol. They'll blow you away with an amp.

No, don't buy these piece of shit headphones, they're utterly terrible. It takes 1 drop to de-solder the wires and good fucking luck soldering them back with the stupid way these headphones are crafted. Do yourself a favor and don't buy these.
