Fresh out of the box I loved these things, everything was right about them, comfort was fine and they rested very lightly on the ears. Headband isn't that bad I thought...hours later I start getting a headache which gets worse and worse. Eventually I decide to call it a day and go to sleep.  ...

Has anyone tried this? Would love to get some advice and input here.

Right now, I am powering my well-broken-in K702s with a Headroom MicroAmp. I'm pretty satisfied with the sound (but the bass extension seems limited) and the comfort of the headphones, which I use only for classical music. I've read some good reviews of the Burson amp. If you have heard the K702...

It's as simple as this...   Why are peeps forking out loads o money on the new and very trendy orthodynamic headphones...   When they can have a near as perfect headphone like the K702 for a fraction of the cost?                 I can't fault them. A purists...

Hi all. I'm an ex-headfier who's coming back to the game. The itch have returned and I now must get a new set of headphones. My musical background is mainly rock - guitar driven music, from old school rock n' roll, alternative, progressive and heavy metal.   Now for the technical part. My...

Well, I need some help deciding on which headphone to purchase. Thanks in advance for any replies :) I'd love to go to a store and try some of these headphones out, but unfortunately I'm pretty far away from most of them. Reading reviews online can only go so far, I'd like to get some...

I've been considering picking up a the AKG K 701/702 headphones but I was hoping someone could tell me whether the headband is genuine leather or just leatherette. I'm a vegetarian and I've avoided buying leather for years; so, if the headband is real leather, I'll probably look into the...

I recently came into a bit money (About $1000 USD) and would like some suggestions on a DAC/Amp combo to replace my current set up (in signature).   What I'm looking for in terms of sound is:   -Neutral -Analytical -Good instrument separation and imaging -Just a little bit of...

@Headfiers Have you AB'd material with your hard to drive headphones when 'unamped' vs 'amped'? I have, multiple times.   For your info my signal chain is as follows : M-Audio ProFire 610 => Meier Audio Corda Arietta => Akg K-702   After switching the Arietta in/out of my signal chain...

Hi Gents   Im interesting in buying one of the above headphones for Music Production, Mixing and Sound Design. Which from this are most detailed and flat?   BTW   Im using RME Babyface as my soundcard, Logic Pro as a sequencer and some external synths like Clavia Nord Lead 2x.  ...

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a pair of AKG K702s and am very content with them, having already burned them in. For mobile use I use my iPod Classic 160g with a Fiio E11 amp listening to ALAC and Mp4s. For home use, I use a Pro-ject Debut III w/ a Sumiko Pearl cartridge, a Pro-ject...

What Amp/Dac would I be able to use with my K702's? I have about a 250$ budget. I am trying for something without tubes. I have looked into the e7/e9 combo but I feel as if that won't have enough power for the power hungry K702's. Ive also looked at the Maverick Audio Tube Magic D1 in which I...

Hi guys, I just purchased a pair of K702 and I was wondering if my audio interface, which is a M-Audio Fast Track Pro, will be enough to power the headphones.     This is what they say on M-Audio website :     Quote:   But I still can't find the actual specs of that...

Hi everyone. I am thinking of possibly buying a Pioneer VSX receiver, but was wondering how the headphone output sounds. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! FatmanSize48 P.S. I'm not fat...

Hi guys,   Title says it all. I need a portable amp for my AKG K702 but I don't want to spend more than 100$. The cheper the better, but I still wanna know what are the best portable amp for a guy on a budget !   Thanks in advance ! :)

I have a pair of K702 and have ordered myself a Schiit Bifrost. In the future I will probably get myself a pair of HD800, which is why they're in the title. Now comes the amp decision. The forerunners are the Burson HA-160 and Schiit Lyr.   Regarding the Lyr: I am apprehensive about tubes in...

I'm looking to get solid, well built, sleeved cables for my K702. This is mainly for aesthetic reasons. Do I have any viable options?

Well I am curious how the sound differs on these 2 headphones.

I need a portable amp cause I want to use it with my ipod from time to time, but the main use will be in the studio. In the studio the amp wil be paired with an audio interface (m-audio fast track pro) that has a 1/4'' monitoring output.   I want it to be under 200$ and I was already looking...

Don't think this has been done, so I want to start it since I recently got a K702.  Want to know what members of this forum are using currently with their x70x so that newbies like myself or other's looking to upgrade can see what is available and work best.  What I would like is a reply with...

Hi all,   After many headphone tests over the past two years, as most of you know I settled on the K702.  It's the best of all worlds for me, seeing as I don't have the cash for a T1 which I think would be the next (final?) step up in Headphone Gloryland.   Anyway, the best amp I've...

I have just recently purchased some AKG K702s and I have been told that I need an amp to properly power them. I actually took a trip to the closest crutchfield and found Nuforce Icon II and honestly couldn't really tell the difference with or with out the amp. Im not sure if its just not a good...

Well i've been lurking arround trying to find out what to buy for my k702 for some time. my budget is 800euro. Right now i own an essence st, with opa827 on brondogs in the IV. listening through the hp out.   From what i read, it came down to eather the schiit combo (Lyr+bifrost) or the...

First post here.   I just got a new pair of K702s which so far have been wonderful. I also have AKG K240 Studio, Grado SR125 and Etymotic er6 (somewhere -- this will be the third pair of Etys I have lost, previously having lost two different sets of 4Ps.)  Unless and until I find the Etys...
