Greetings all, I have 2 sets of AKG K702 and they sound different from each other. The set that I wonder about has a bit of a scoop in the upper bass, my rough guess being that it's between 250 and 400 Hz. The 'good' set - the one without the scoop - sound more accurate to me - more linear - on...

I'm looking for a COMFORT first, sound second upgrade from my Sennheiser Game One headphones. Their bass rolloff when EQd is alright but I find the clamp force to be too much (after using them for 6 years now) so I suppose 400S will also be good enough here. Thing is that I have to decide soon...

Hi! So recently I bought a used K702 in a very good condition. TL;DR: Did not like the sound, sold them 2 days later. The thing is, they had so much upper midrange, all vocals sounded extremely "screamy" and aggressive and electric guitar sound was so freaking sharp and ear-piercing. Bass was...

Hi there, I'm wanting to do a DYI cable for my AKG K702 phones but I'm having a hard time finding a Female Mini XLR with a cable O.D. large enough to fit 0.236" = Mogami W2549 0.236" = Mogami W2534 Can some one please advise? Thank you!

Hi, Planning to upgrade from my K702 to the Hifiman Sundara. Good idea? What would i gain? Is the Sundare easier or harder to drive than the AKG? Regards, Nicolas

I'm very new to Headphones and I'm planning to buy the "Holy Trinity of Mid-Fi" Headphones for my collection (whatever this term is... but you know, the AKG K701/702, the Sennheiser HD600/650 and the Beyer Dynamic DT880). I'm planning to start with the AKG K701/702. I'm still undecided what...

My AKG k702 just arrived. Plan to use them for competitive FPS gaming, making use of their renowned soundstage and imaging. I plugged it into the 3.5mm headphone jack on my gaming laptop, which has a Realtek HD audio chip on-board, and i couldn't raise the volume more than 65% in Windows. Got...

Hello everyone, I am looking for a DAC/Amp for my new AKG K702 (105dB SPL/V, 62Ohms). My budget is around 150€. For this price, I have found 2 candidates: JDS Labs O2+ODAC and Fiio K5 Pro. Which one does seem better? Do you have other candidates? FYI, I will listen to music from my computer...

I am currently searching for a good alternative to the original pads without changing the sound signature too much. The options I consider are Brainwavz pads in either perforated pleather, leather, velour or micro suede form. What would work best to keep a similar sound but also could feel more...

I recently purchase AKG K702 from B&H (Without the bumps on the headband), but I am struggling to use them for prolonged periods. After a while, it feels as if pressure builds under my ear/around my jaw. I am still in a position to return them and try something else, but I really like the sound...

I've been looking for an appropriate amp to match my AKG K702 for a while. My current DAC/Amp is Teac UD-503 which provides a quite cold, detailed sound with slightly weak bass. It could be much satisfying if the sound could become a bit warmer while the budget is around 500USD. Schiit...

So I got myself a pair of akg k702's and I'm looking for an amp/dac - either a combo unit or seperates to match it. These headphones sound amazing as they are but I want them to sound as best as they can! Out of the box they felt a bit tinny but after a day or 2 they either got better, or maybe...

I am a musician but do not call myself an audiophile. I am however interested in getting the best sounding set-up for the price and this forum seems to know what they are talking about. I have a pair of akg k702s that I have used for years without an amplifier, and while reading posts on this...

I'm looking to upgrade from my K702 (since I'm not that happy with them anymore) and I auditioned some headphones (HD650, HE400i, HE560, T1 2nd Gen, K712). I wasn't able to demo any of them in atleast a round of Rainbow Six Siege or CSGO (yes, the sound engine in this game is quite horrible and...

So i just got an LG V30 and it sounds great with my AKG K702s, but i would love to get some ear buds that have a similar profile. Just for reference I love the flat natural sound of the K702s so i would be looking for somthing with a similar sound profile. Also as a side note I got the K702s a...

I hope this is the last post I'll have to make regarding this topic. All I wanted was to update from my old Gaming Headset and so I searched for something that will actually give me good sound. But its really hard to find something that just is good enough for me. It should have the HD580...

I have a background in high end DIY Loudspeaker assembly and Crossover filtering. I have owned a great deal of headphones, and i stumpled upon a website called "innerfidelity" but what bothered me, were the fact that the frequency response graphs, didn't match up with what my ears were hearing...

I know I made a thread about something similar already but after using them longer and comparing back and forth I am pretty sure about what I want now. I definitely miss a bit of bass. Not punchy bass though but smooth or "long" bass(Dont know how to explain it well) On the other hand what I...

I bought them 3 days ago and used them all day long because I thought its finally time to upgrade form my 60$ Turtle Beach headset. But now after listening, everytime I switch to my turtle beach I find them better. They sound more clear in highs and vocals. Vocals also seem to be more present...
