I have a K702 with a Fiio e9 and BlueDragon v.3 cable. I love it. Perfect. Except. Too thin at times! Would the Senn's help? I used to be used to a darker sig, but I might have a hard time adjusting to it. I would rather stick to these. Any other solutions?   Thanks a lot,   MacKat

Hi all   I just got myself a k702, very nice build headphones, but with my RSA preditor, it sounds terrible, looks like the preditor suit IEMs better.    I'm search a lot these days and finally cut shorten my list to these two. X-can V8 and Schiit Lyr   One thing that I'm concern...

Hi,    You probably misunderstood me there. I mean a portable, closed headphone that sounds similar to the AKG k702. Maybe just a tinier bassier, but not boomier. Like some people think the T50p is a portable version of the DT880's? I need something like that. Under $200. Would the T50p's...

Hi there all,   I've been listening to my AKG K702 for a few months, the source is WAV/FLAC files ripped by EAC and played from iTunes on a Macbook Air, via a Corda Contate 2 (as both DAC and amp if I get it correctly). For most of the time I listen to classical music, mostly symphonies and...

Hello there! I'm really in the urge of buying a new pair of headphones for my father's birthday. Now, i have only time until the 7th of may, so please answer quickly :) So it seems that google is not my friend anymore, and i haven't found any decent comparisons between the k702s and 701s. ...

Hi guys   I was wondering if somebody knew of or could write a detailed guide regarding how to change the elastics on the K702's. I searched around and only managed to find one on 701's. Would the process be the same? Following the guide posted here...

Got a AKG K702 as a gift. Plugging in that into the mother board sound card does not do justice and at the same time do not want to blow 1K on a USB DAC. What are my options when it comes to sound cards. Is the HT Omega CLARO halo my only option ?   What are the options when it comes to USB...

  I have been changing my gear up a bit and decided to compare the (1) AKG k702; (2) Beyerdynamic DT880 (600); and the Shure SHR840 on a set-up that consists of: PC - Udac2 - Burson HA-160.  In respect of burn in all the gear has at least a couple hundred (or more) hours on it.  I have doing...

First of all, please excuse my rude avatar.   I own a pair of AKG K702's which I use to help me make music with Ableton Live. I understand that I need a headphone amp to get the best results out of my 702's. I also have a pair of Sennheiser HD25-sp II's which I use for listening to music out...

Hi everyone,   I'm new to this forum. I have just bought the following set up:   source: Marantz cd5003 Headphone amplifier: Lehmann Audio Rhinelander Headphones: AKG K702   I have also bought some good quality rca cables to connect the cdp to the amp   I must say straight...

I've been looking around quite a lot, I can't find any answers x.x or opinions any headsup?   dac = HRT Music Streamer II   budget is 400.00

Can anyone advise between these two?   I thought I had decided on the Shanling - it's within my price range and I can get it here in New Zealand - until I came across the Matrix M-stage which seems like it may be better for the Akg 70x.    The Matrix is slightly more expensive but with...

Hi everyone, this is my first thread and I'm very happy to be part of this great community.   As a car audio enthusiast I've learned a lot about audio equipment over the years, but this is a fairly new arena for me. Anyways, I don't spend all the day on my car so I finally decided to get...

After some hesitation, I decided to upgrade my K702 with the Cardas Fat Pipe Cable sold by Headroom. I read multiple reviews about the AKG K702 cable upgrade bringing those cans to another level. I had my doubts of course, but I kind of forced myself to bite the bullet and decided to give it a...

  Hello fellow head-fiers,   Another newbe here with a few practical questions regarding AKG K702. I've purchased these phones as a starter kit just about a week ago and also joined this forum a couple of days later with the main goal to get the best out of them. I've done my research on...

I have recently changed jobs and to my great delight we are allowed to listen to music in our office (a big no no with my old company). So I feel ready to join your sect ;) and purchase some decent gear. After reading quite a bit of forum and blog posts, I have my mind on the following combo...

I thinking about upgrade my AKG k240 mkII to AKG k601, because what I like in my k240:   - nice balanced sound - 6h sessions, easy, no fatigue - wide music scene   I hope that this will be improved in k601 and I get rid of:   - gentle heating in the ears (because of the open...

Hi All !! this is my first post , glad to part of the community.   I stumbled on this forum a few weeks back looking for information to assist me in my first headset purchase and boy did I find the right place, what a fantastic forum. I’m happy to hopefully also make a valuable contribution...

Hi I'm new here and I was wondering what headphones would be better to get. I am debating between the AKG K702s or the K240s MKII can you guys that have had either pair give me the pros and cons of the headphones thank you

Ok, ok...  Sound is personal, yes correct.  This post is coming from a guy with 2 floorstands with 6.5" woofers Xover @ 40Hz and 3 10" subs Xover @ 80Hz and no there is not a bump at the freq they overlap, actually they cancel out, perfect because there was a bump =D Now, lets get down to...

Hey guys, i've recently purchased (well bid on) a second hand pair of AKG K702. Theyre in spectacular condition and come with everything original. The way i decided on them? I went to your forums and spent days researching the many options, and it seems that the AKG K702's are well praised! At...

Hey guys. I kept reading that for high end headphones, you would want an amp. Problem is I only listen to music when I'm on the go. Do they have portable amps for the K702? Why do I need an amp? It is a 62ohm headphone. Would it not sound good if I didn't use an amp? Just out of curiousity, are...

This is odd and I can't believe it...  I am wondering if anyone else had unexpected (positive or negative) responses when lending their headphones over to others. A friend of mine calls me to say he is coming over to show me the mods he did on his car and we would go on a cruise (more like...

Hi all, Yesterday I got from Hong Kong my new USB amp a topping TP 30. I bought it specifically to drive my K702 headphones. The amp delivers 15 watts per channel to 4 ohm-rated speakers (10 watts into 8 ohms).   Right now I'm trying them (TP 30 + K702) with Mad Professor music and sound...

Everything seems fine now.
