AKG Varimotion Membrane

The heart of any headphone or microphone is the diaphragm. It’s the component that handles the challenging task of turning its mechanical motion into the electrical signal that delivers the sound. Varimotion from AKG is a unique technology that allows the production of a diaphragm whose thickness varies along its diameter. With the help of this innovative diaphragm, AKG is able to precisely tune the capsule for the highest level of performance to provide powerful, accurate, clear and feedback-free sound.

AKG Flat-Wire Voice Coil Technology

AKG’s flat-wire voice coil technology is what gives the K702 reference headphones the transient response that delivers amazingly accurate and spacious sound. Conventional voice coils use round wires, but AKG’s flat-wire technology allows the company to build very rigid yet lightweight voice coils, which improves the pulse response. Furthermore, using flat wires provides higher packing density in the magnetic gap, which increases the efficiency because less power is lost to heat.

Phenomenal Comfort for Complete Immersion

Nobody wants to endure pain or discomfort when working in the studio or listening to music. That's why the K702 Headphones were built to fit you. Unique 3D-Form ear pads and an ergonomic padded genuine-leather headband ensure that you remain pain-free and comfortable, even during the longest of sessions. The ear pads feature an innovative gel construction with a super-soft lining. Plus, with the self-adjusting headband design, you'll never have to worry about fiddling with positions ever again.

AKG K702 Reference Open-Back Over-Ear Studio Headphones

    "...Whatever bass is left over, it's definitely not sub bass, though it is nice and tight and not bloated, so that's decent...." Read more

    "...For me, they're practically my ideal sound profile. As for the build quality, you've got removable velour ear pads and a removable mini XLR cable..." Read more

    Customers like the comfort of the surveillance systems. They say the ear pads make for an extremely comfortable fit, and the inside of the earmuff is soft and padded around the driver.

Customers also mention that the headphones adjust to their head and provide a light, airy feel to the music.

    76 customers mention76 positive0 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the clarity of the surveillance systems. They mention that the reproduction is very detailed and clear, and the high end response is unlike any other hi-fi. They also say that the sound stage and level of detail really make these phones perfectly. They are crystal clear throughout the spectrum and do offer more bass than Sennheiser and AKG. Customers also say the high ambient is sharp and clear.

    "...are greatly exaggerated and obscure how wonderfully accurate and detailed these headphones really are...." Read more

    "...So that's what stands out the most, soundstage and just a decent amount of detail...." Read more

    74 customers mention52 positive22 negative

    Customers like the value of the surveillance systems. They say it's worth the price, the cheapest headphones they've ever bought, and an absolute steal at twice the price. Some mention that the headphones have great sound for the price and are a particular help with low-end.

    "...move to have these made over there from Austria must be why the price is so low as they do initially lightweight and "plastic" but keep in..." Read more

    "...The cost seems justified because of great design and sound quality. These are the higher end AKG headphones and are still made in Australia...." Read more

    "...considering them I've read quite a bit about (1) how they are not worth the money without a decent headphone amp, (2) that their bass leaves a lot..." Read more

    "...But – great price!!" Read more

    42 customers mention31 positive11 negative

    Customers like the portability of the surveillance systems. They say it's light enough, but very big in diameter. The bass quality is great, and it'd be a good choice for bass-heads. The stripe at the top feels very light.

    "...They are lightweight with a detachable cable and a screw on 1/4in adapter, pretty nice features. I do like the firm but comfortable pads...." Read more

    "...but also, the drums had such a "punch" to them...........weighty, but very lively!..." Read more

    "...does a decent job at spreading the weight around and plastic isn't all that dense or heavy to begin with, so it won't weigh you down...." Read more

    "...They're light enough, but very big in diameter, adding to the listening when prone problem, as a pillow will push the cans against the back of the..." Read more

    33 customers mention30 positive3 negative

    Customers find the accuracy of the headphones wonderful, perfect for home studio, and phenomenal. They say the mids are very accurate, the positional accuracy and detail is phenomenal, and the sound is clear, clean, and precise with no coloring. Customers also say the headphones are great for quality and accuracy, providing accurate reproduction of your recording without being muddy or overdone.

    "...All of these criticisms are greatly exaggerated and obscure how wonderfully accurate and detailed these headphones really are...." Read more

    "...music 75% of the time, so clarity, imaging (separation) and accuracy are crucial...." Read more

    "...However I feel that it’s perfectly accurate. You can hear extreme detail in the lowest notes of a piano, bass guitar, etc...." Read more

    "...It is clean clear and precise without being muddy or overdone...." Read more

    403 customers mention269 positive134 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the sound quality of the surveillance systems. Some mention that the sound produced is good enough to get them to sit up while listening, and that they can hear it in wonderful detail. They also appreciate the tight bass but not overwhelming, and the wider sound stage. They say the headphones have a phenomenal sense of timbre, and are exceptionally comfortable for over-the-ear long-time listening experiences. Others however, complain that the music struggles to fill its soundstage, and they're not designed to cancel outside noise.

    "...the detail ability of the headphones, that and the wider sound stage were more obvious, especially when I'm A/B testing them in real time with my..." Read more

    "...For the most part what I mean there is, the soundstage seemed really wide (especially for closed-back 'phones), but also, the drums had such a "punch..." Read more

    "...The sound is okay to decent, probably because the drivers are new, so I really can't fully qualify the sound, but it sounds 7/10ish currently, where..." Read more

    "...The bass is present enough to be present and clear in the mix so it's not lost, but it won't be powering what you throw at it...." Read more

    57 customers mention39 positive18 negative

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the surveillance systems. Some mention that it performs very well, while others say that one side stopped working properly.

    "...my iPod (as expected) did not produce spectacular results, they performed just fine and definitely better than what many reviews would have you..." Read more

    "...The AKG offers a more powerful and "present" bass sound than the Grado, yet it doesn't sound bloated or bleed out over the mids and treble at all as..." Read more

    "...wire harness is broken and the left driver only works if I press or pull on the wire...." Read more

    "...Plenty light on the head as well, the strap does a decent job at spreading the weight around and plastic isn't all that dense or heavy to begin with..." Read more

    i was super ocd about what i wanted in my next set ...
    5 Stars
    i was super ocd about what i wanted in my next set ...
    i was super ocd about what i wanted in my next set of headphones as I am a music industry professional (producer/engineer) working with club/rave music and trap/hip hop so a lot of bass heavy material, i'll unload my thoughts on these after owning them for about 3 weeks, forgive me for tangents i may stray off on. I wear cans for about 8 hours a day so i naturally became very picky about my headphones, and these are definitely my favorite pair of cans, and AKG proves that in the audiophile game $1000 dollar headphones dont always equal better, the super low price threw me off as i was looking to spend around 500, but i've seen these elsewhere for 300 usd, i was shocked they were so low and some others have commented that the k701s listed here are counterfeit, the comments didnt seem to have any stories with this model so i bit and purchased them, was choosing between these and the hifiman 400i since they were planar and my last set purchased was the oppo-pm3 and i wanted to stick with the planar sound but the reviews on these convinced me to try open-back/dynamic and wow AKG is on their A game, these are for studio use and i would definitely not wear these in public as being open back of course the entire plane or bus will hear your music, and the size, they are quite large and i feel like i'm about to signal in a navy fighter jet in top gun when i put them on, but oh so light! i see why they had to make them this light at this size. The size quickly became a non issue once you hear the sound stage on these, the stock pads are great but they do allow more air to escape being a breathable material and i purchased the brainwaves XL (make sure you get xl) pleathers which fit perfect and i notice much more low end now, they keep your ear from touching the driver which i love, makes the sound stage much more immersive. About the bass issue, these are definitely tailored to the engineer/producer demographic, the bass is there and plenty of it if the track was produced to be sub heavy, i work with a lot of dubstep and trap and the low 808s you can feel vibrating your temple, house/trance sounds fantastic where the emphasis is a punchy kick, I did perform the sticker mod on these (youtube akg bass mod) that does make difference for sure.With that being said, if you are purchasing these be aware that even at 62 ohms you still need a decent amplifier for these, i thought my fiio a3 could handle it as it does a decent job on the pm3 but those are 25 ohm, these it does ok but you still feel the cans are begging you to go louder, got an objective2 from jds labs for 100 bucks and it has enough drive to get them cranking, was going to go with the magni3 from schiit but was too impatient to wait for backorder for a month, but im sure that one will sound great too as the two are often compared. From my experience portable amps won't be able to drive these to the best potential you'll need a proper desktop amp with an output impedance of less than 1ohm imo to get these singing.The clarity/soundstage on these are so accurate and detailed it will reveal stuff about your music that you didn't notice before, example for me was that i could now hear compression artifacts a lot more noticeably on mp3's especially in the low end, i thought initially the 702's were not able to handle certain low frequencies but upon listening to the same song in flac vs mp3 it was night and day, you can crank it LOUD without distortion just make sure your source music is lossless for best experience, but yes that does mean i'm looking for all my tracks in flac to replace my mp3 collection, i've never really heard about this "burning in" myth but 3-4 weeks in i definitely hear a difference as far as tracks that were a bit hot/distorted when i listened 3 weeks ago at a loud but capable level are now cleaner and can take the same volume levels, might be placebo who knows, the china move to have these made over there from Austria must be why the price is so low as they do initially lightweight and "plastic" but keep in mind these are meant to be used in studios not thrown in backpacks and worn on public transportation, the brainwaves pads added some weight that makes them feel more "expensive" in a way, however the key component, the driver seems to not have been compromised for cheaper parts like the housing/build as i a/b tested these with an Austrian built pair my buddy has and it is exactly the same, as is the q701 and 712 driver, anyways enough of my ramble, for this price these destroy anything similarly priced imo, the site lists them at about 350 and that would be a price i'd still say is a steal for the performance of sound they deliver. GET EM!
