Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The clarity is absolutely stunning! There is some burn in required, but not long, say 100+ hours. It's basically in your face.

Mids are there, and the highs sparkle. Bass doesn't sound bloated or bleed out.

For jazz and classic rock, these headphones are an absolute *! With a little tweaking of my amp, these sound very nice. They're a fantastically balanced pair of cans with no flaws in their sound.

Sound position tracks very well with these; sound location is not vague at all. These will not only help you hear where other players are, i find that i can actually hear how far they are and even their exact position up to a certain extent just from ...  Read More



Cons

The head band is horribly stiff and the ear pads are rigid. There seems to be a big trend to acheive an open, non-headphone soundstage. The elastic that keeps the headphones firm on your head goes limp after a while.

Price is far too high for a flimsy set of cans. They feel like styrofoam wrapped with cloth. These now decorate the local landfill.

Quality


First of all i'm impressed with build quality and comfort.


Enjoy the quality and adjustable volume to eq properly.


Second pair of the k702s did not get hot at all after 3 hours of breaking them in.


The k240 is hard to drive properly and you cannot drive sound quality out of those like the classical sed back k371 or k702 .

Price


Considering the price ($140 aprox), i definitely don't regret buying the akg k702


I've been a fan of akg headphones for a while and when i saw the price of these on sale i jumped at the chance.


Sincr the prices dropped down to $180 i figure i pull the trigger and get it.


Yes a $70 heaphone can keep up with a $180.

Shipping


These arrived at 4am as i was waking up to practice guitar before work.

Packaging/appearance


The seller sent the akg headphones in sealed plastic.


After opening the box, initial first impressions are pretty average.

Competitiveness


Recently i moved on to beyerdynamic 900 pro x phones as i occasionally do combinations of guitar rock and electronic.


I own the hd 600 and the ananda.


I would never place the k702 anywhere near the same tier as the hd 600 series lineup.


I can say that the akg soundstage is clearly wider than hd 600 and ananda but the sound definition in mids ad treble is better ...  Read More

    While i love the large cups that really give room for my ears to breathe paired with the stiff pads they slide around on my head very easily i’ve currently got long hair which doesn’t help and sound quality drastically is altered if they aren’t seated right

    Sounds good for a price but only with eq


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The build quality feels flimsy but i have been using them for 8 months and nothing has broken


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My biggest downside is that i am bald and the top strap has zero padding and it is very stiff


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I hoped this might become less of a problem over time but it has not


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They often leave the top of my head with a red spot and at times they are so uncomfortable that i get a headache
