Judging by the picture it's probably a listing for returns/refurbs.

And now I'm doing some looking around and reading. I looked at the output between the amp you're using and mine. On paper the O2 seems like it has more. But I do remember that I was using the higher gain setting on the O2 (it has a 2.5x and 6.5x button). I used the higher setting to allow me...

It's quite possible that im not effectively amplifying. I use an Objective 2, or O2 amp. http://www.jdslabs.com/mobile/products/35/objective2-headphone-amplifier/ And its not just that the results don't translate well from system to system it's that the sound becomes so muddied that its nearly...

Late responses are still valuable. I've still got the setup described but I've discovered that no matter how well regarded the k702's are I get better results using... A gaming headset, a Sennheiser pc363d. A high end gaming headset, but one that would likely be looked down on for what I use it...

That's definitely an idea I've already had, and one I may end up using. Or I may just sell the K702's.  But at this point I'd like to figure out what is clearly wrong with the setup I'm using.  Since the K702's are well regarded for the purposes I'm using them for I'd like to give them a fair...

So a while ago I decided to get more serious about my (very) amateur electronic music production.  I started this thread http://www.head-fi.org/t/646398/akg-k702s-and-focusrite-2i4 for advice which should give some background and info if needed. I'll post my setup here though.   Win7 64 bit...

Most any hardware store will have aluminum tape used for ducts (its basically aluminum foil). It sticks like crazy to just about everything. It would probably match well with the metal housings. You would end up with a huge duct tape size roll and use hardly any but it comes in handy for tons of...

I've got a pair of AX-35's coming my way soon and I've got a couple questions since I haven't delved into IEM's yet (I'm more well versed with regular headphones). For information I'll be paring them with my Galaxy S4 and a Fiio E11 amp. Which comply tips should I get? There seems to be a...

Good to know, thanks.  I wasn't quite sure about turning everything up to 11 so just played it safe. I appreciate the advice.

After a few days usage I'm happy with the combo I've put together. I have to put the O2 on high gain otherwise it's just not loud enough. I'm keeping the Focusrite 2i4 line out level (controlled through the laptop windows volume control) at 70% and the monitor volume level on the focusrite at...

Oh, and I must have confused myself by researching so many headphones. The K702's don't have a mute switch that kicks in when you remove them from your head. I know it was a feature on one of the pairs I was seriously considering but I can't for the life of me remember which ones.    I'm...

I think I just may    I had a long day at work and they were waiting for me when I came home.  The first thing I did was plug them into my phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) and listen to my "reference track". It's a song that I have loved for well over 15 years. I know it like the back of my hand...

Absolutely in sync with your comments.  I'm a pragmatist and skeptic by nature (to a fault depending on who you ask).  I'm not enticed by supposed huge gains by changing cables for ones that sell for multiple hundreds of dollars . My "good cable" is a set of good gold plated RCA jacks to an 1/8"...

Quote:   Excellent!  I've absorbed a thing or two after all my reading and researching   I'll be testing both outputs just out of curiosity but the good cables I have will be used with the line outs.     Quote:   The burn in is already planned and I'll be chomping at the bit...

I opted for the Objective2. It should be here in a few days.     Here's my last question. The 2i4 has line outputs on the back. Should I use those to feed into the Objective2 or just go from the headphone jack into the amp? My gut tells me to go from the line outs but I'm just not sure.
