It's not defective. That's the K70x's sound signature. I wouldn't be surprised if a basshead called them defective. Unfortunately K702 does not meet your expectations. Not even the holy grails of all amps and sources will help it. Just sell them and move on.
If you read about the equal-loudness contour, you'll see that you have to increase the SPL in order to hear it, but this also increases the other frequencies proportionally as well, which results in deafening levels. If you want to hear that sub-bass, then you'll need subwoofers or headphones that are bass-biased to compensate for the human's lack of ability to hear those low frequencies. Blame evolution if you will, but it doesn't change the fact we can't hear frequencies that low assuming SPL is held equal.
In fact, open your music file in Audacity. Next apply a low-pass filter so it only plays 20hz and under so that you can crank it up all you want until you can hear it. note at these levels, SPL is very high! but it will be perceived as "comfortable" levels by the human auditory system. Do you understand?
There's a reason why the K70x were made to sound that way. They're used for monitoring in studios. They reveal everything (or most if not all), even flaws. Over-coloring these headphones will mask those flaws, which is not what an audio engineer wants. For my purposes I bought these because my hobby involves transcribing musical works as well as checking for any hiccups in a recording. It appears you didn't do your research before pulling the trigger on these.
