Just tried out Chris Clouse's album on these going Sansa Clip > Ibasso D12 > Bellari HA540 > Akg K702.  I can honestly say that I've never been so floored by any headphones I've tried or currently have.... ever.  Anyone else know any great bands for the K702s?

I love everything my AKG K702 does, its probably the longest headphones I've owned out of my inventory of headphones. - Even compared to newer headphones I've been getting, the AKG K702 seem always to be used most.   Now I'm thinking should I make the move to the Sennheiser HD800 now...

Ok so I am a long time reader of head-fi, but not really much of a poster.   Recently I finally dropped some cash on some open-backed headphones, the AKG K702. I only have maybe 24 hours on them total. I am looking for the best ways to burn in these particular headphones. Also, I am looking...

When I previously had the AKG K701 (I bought them new) - I distinctly remember when I removed the pads to reveal the drivers, one of the drivers had crinkling in it - as if it had been damaged. I don't know would have damaged them other than perhaps being driven by an iPod. I attempted to drive...

Long story short i've been hit with upgradeitis and I need some opinions from the more experienced members.   My current Setup   320Kbp/FLAC songs-->Bifrost-->Hifiman EF-5-->DT990/K702   My go to headphones are the DT990 600ohms and once in a while i'll use the K702s.   I...

I have a fiio e7/e9 - Should I have gain on?   Also what is the best amp for these phones that's 300 or under?

Guys,   I own NuForce Icon HDP + AKG K702 gear. Unfortunately few days ago some of my relatives decided to use headphones as speakers.  As the results it was damaged and now K702 is producing a cracking sound.   As a temporary solution I bought Panasonic XBS for $5 dollars, the same...

(Hopefully this is in the right forum.  Apologies if it's not.)   Hello all.  I've spent the past week deciding on a new set of headphones to use for mastering/mixing tracks from my laptop. Thanks mostly to all the in-depth information on this forum I've (almost) settled on the AKG K702...

Hi, I wanna ask something.. Recently, I feel that my AKG K702 sounds different..   The left side sounds more bassy.. However, the right side is concentrated more on highs.. I just noticed it a week ago..   is this can  broken or is it normal for this can in order to build the...

Well met, O great knowledge bearers of audio excellence!   I yearn to someday bask in the excellence of audiophilia, and as such, I have dipped my toes into your knowledge base.  Where I expected to find a straight solution to every audio quandary, I instead saw the depth of information...

I was comparing the frequency response curves of the K701 and K702 on headphone.com, and couldn't help but noticing that the K702 apparently has a good +5dB over most of the low-bass range compared to the K701...?   If any of you have compared them, did you experience the K702 as having...

I'm currently looking for a nice next-step DAC/Amp combination (or integrated) above the Leckerton UHA-6S.MKII for use with an AKG K702 AE and a Beyerdynamic T5p. Source is a Macbook (i.e. USB), price should be kept below ~ €800,- These devices caught my interest:   *) Cambridge Audio...

Christmas 2011 I purchased a pair of AKG K702's, I'm not sure if I've never really noticed or if it happened recently, but there seems to be a rattling noise in the right ear. I took the ear cup and pad off and inspected them to make sure there were no hairs/dirt/debris, and they seem clean. The...

I've often heard this being said when there is ever a discussion about these headphones.   Do they really lack bass? Or does it just seem that way at first if you're accustomed to more bass emphasized headphones?   I took a look at the frequency response graph at headphone.com and...

Ah- oh, I may have bought the wrong AKG K 700 series hp. I have an unopened, still in the box pair of K702s. I prevoisly had a pair of 701s which I really liked but I wanted newer pair and a simpler path to recable. I read that the 702 was the same hp but had a easily replaceable cable so I...

I am in the process of buying a pair of akg k702 headphones, and am wondering about amps.  I dont have much knowledge on this subject, but i know that these will sound alot better with an amp.  I spent all my money on the headphones, so dont really have much of a budget on amps, any suggestions...

I read some reviews of the AKG K702 here and on HeadRoom and I just placed my order. I should get them this Wednesday at the earliest or Friday at the latest from HeadRoom. I was thinking about getting the Sennheiser HD-800, but I wanted to spend a lot less money while still getting the top of...

So the headband on my K702s is a little bit messed up, i bought them used, and still got a great deal, but i need a replacement headband.  Is there a place that sells aftermarket headbands?  I also heard that the 601 headband would work, but i cant find a place to purchase them either.  I will...

I have a pair of AKG 702's and I want to use them at college during breaks.  I don't have a lot of knowledge of headphones and amps so I'd like some suggestions of proven portable amp/dac combo's that can drive these comfortably.   any help would be greatly appreciated   also is there a...

Hey there, I've decided to let go of my first 'good cans'. I'm looking for something with a similar sound signature to the k702's (clear mids, very detailed and quick with sparkly and extensive treble) but I would really like my new set of cans to actually have some low end, soundstage isn't...

I have been looking into getting a new pair of headphones to go with a Schiit Magni/Modi combo connected via optical to the Xonar DG for surround sound, and I'm strongly considering the AKG K712s. I was wondering, however, if they were really worth $350+ or if theirswould be a better more cost...

I was possibly looking to get one of these for use with my iPod video 5th gen and laptop. I will also be using them with my Fiio E17 I listen to a variety of music but mainly indie rock. Which ones would you recommend? Thanks

Hi All,   I think my title says it all.   I own and love the AKG K702 open back phones, and I'm looking to acquire a set of closed phones to use as well. I love the sound and comfort afforded by the AKG K702, and I am hoping to duplicate both of these qualities with a closed pair.  ...
