Review: Nice item for making music - Update - sev years on with these now - totally used to them - good stereo image - they have def had the wearing in period. Bass is solid - highs are smooth. You can make some critiical mix decisions - but as always in my opinion you cant actually mix songs on headphones cause any long periods totally alter your hearing - but all in all they have been fine - I like these. I'm using them to make music on with logic. I have a problem with a new neighbour , I have a expensive pair of PMC speakers , very detailed but due to my new neighbour I can barely use them , hence ... Some headphones. I read the reviews and went with these as they are cheap at 130. I do to music for the voice / big bro ' Americas got talent and like to think I know a good mixdown , it's prob my best skill. When I got them I played them immediately on a laptop and thought they were tinny and bass was low. I put a song on a loop for 4 hours with bass boosted at max volume with a sound card. and let them burn in , they sounded better afterwards . They are good because the panning is v evident with them , the highs are clear and bass is fine, if the bass were really strong like some headphones , ie pumping , your ears will get knackered after an hour , your eardrums can't handle it. My way of working is I make a track through the speakers of my 50 inch tv , then I move to a pair of monitors to check stuff then I use the headphones for the main part due to my neighbour prob, then I go back to the speakers to get it right. The headphones are comfy tho are heavier than a normal pair as they are huge , lot of sound bleed which is no prob as that's what they are for. They sound flat , ie not enhanced , you can spot stuff you can't on speakers and mine cost 3k and these are actually better, at least at low volumes you can. I couldn't do a track with these alone , but my process of making it for 5hrs on a tv then 5hrs on speakers then 25 on headphones for a track works well. I would recommend them for music making , kind of like the ns10 of headphones , I think if a headphone has been around a while then it's got to have something good about it . I like it when I see they were 400 and now only 130 , I've never owned pro headphones so please take my review as an uninformed one of headphones as I have never used 1k headphones, but in my opinion I'm very pleased with them and I imagine if I get used to them then I will stick to this model if this one ever fails.
Review: Brilliant phones - I chose to buy the AKG Q702 headphones after a lot of research. Headphones are a difficult purchase because it's hard to audition them due to the difficulty of finding a retailer who stocks a wide range and also because retailers are reluctant to let people try them due to health and safety concerns around cleanliness. My research was threefold. Firstly I looked at reviews by hifi magazines and websites. Then I consulted hifi forums and lastly I looked at product reviews on sites like desertcart from people who actually had purchased items. All opinions gathered in this way have to be treated with some caution because the views are subjective and, to be frank, some people do have favourite brands. The opinions I took the most notice of were from people who like the same type of music as me, which is mainly classical. These came out heavily in favour of AKG headphones and the Q702s in particular. I also took price into account. I was willing to spend rather more than the roughly £250 the AKGs cost but there is a law of diminishing returns in hifi and everything I read made me think that, whilst I could get better headphones, I would probably be satisfied with the AKGs. Ok so they come in a nice enough box. There is no case but that is not a concern for me as they will only be used at home and I have a convenient shelf for them to sit on. They have a tubular metal framework with a leather strap which goes on top of your head. The bodies are made of plastic and they have foam ear-surrounds. They are pretty light, 360g on my kitchen scales, including the cable, which is detachable. They are "open back" which means that they don't insulate you fully from external noise nor indeed do they protect others from your music. So they are for use in private! I have found them very comfortable. As mentioned, they are light so there is no problem there and I didn't find that my ears got hot even after a couple of hours of listening. Some reviewers have said that they found the ridges under the leather strap uncomfortable but to be frank I didn't really notice they were there. (I wonder if people have been pulling the phones hard down onto their scalp?) In terms of sound quality this is an early review. Some reviewers say that they need hundreds of hours to "run in" but I found them excellent straight out of the box. Some reviewers also say that they are much better with a dedicated headphone amp but I haven't tried that. In fact so far I have only tried them using the headphone socket on my Marantz CD6004. I will in due course try them using the socket on my Marantz PM6004. I've listened to a wide variety of music but the main ones to talk about are: * Grieg Lieder - Ann Sofie von Otter, Bengt Forsberg - DG437 521-2 * Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto - Kyung Wha Chung, LSO, Previn - Decca 475 7734 * Allegri Miserere - Tallis Scholars - Gimell CDGIM 339 * Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds - Columbia DPCD96000 (I think!) * Jennifer Warnes, Famous Blue Raincoat -20th anniversary edition - Shout 826663-10490 * Prokofiev Symphony 5, SNO, Jarvi - Chandos 8450 The Grieg is rather special, being a Penguin Guide Rosette winner and a former Gramophone "record of the year". The performances by both singer and accompanist are outstanding and the digital recording is demonstration quality. It is a tough test for any piece of equipment. The AKGs shone here. Von Otter's voice was captured in all its beauty and in some ways even better the piano was beautifully reproduced, all the notes perfectly represented to my ears. The sound staging was also excellent and by closing my eyes I could easily envisage a live performance. The Tchaikovsky is a much older (1970) analogue recording and I included it in the test not only because it is a wonderful performance but also I wanted to be see how the AKGs handed a non-digital recording (albeit a well-regarded one) and how they would integrate a soloist with a full orchestra. I'm pleased to say that all was well and indeed it was so good I played it through twice. The Allegri is also an old analogue recording but you wouldn't guess that. This is also a really tough test because the key thing is to be able to reproduce the acoustic of the venue, actually the Chapel of Merton College, Oxford, and to set the voices properly in perspective in it. This is hard because the solo group and the main choir are located at opposite ends of the Chapel, so to get it right you have to recreate a huge 3-dimensional sound stage. The distant and often hushed voices of the main choir have to live in harmony with the much closer solo group and Alison Stamp's wonderful treble has to soar above everything. I was quite stunned at how good the AKGs were at achieving this. My KEF Q500s do it better but you would expect that as they have the whole volume of a room to achieve it in. To make it realistic with headphones is excellent. The "War of the Worlds" is an old favourite and includes some excellent sound effects as well as some punchy popular music, with the added bonus of Richard Burton's wonderful narration. Burton really came alive through the AKGs and indeed everything sounded great. The "unscrewing" of the Martian canister sounded fantastic, I won't say realistic because that would be the wrong word, and it conveyed a wonderful impression of what was happening. It was so involving that I listened to the whole CD rather than the first 10 minutes as I had intended. Jennifer Warnes is one of "the" voices of the late 20th century in my opinion and her versions of Leonard Cohen's songs are highly prized. As Cohen himself said of her singing "I stand by my original astonishment". I won't go through the tracks but the AKGs didn't stumble and of particular note they handled with ease the rather difficult live version of "Joan of Arc", which can sound dreadful on cheap equipment. I chose the Prokofiev because it is highly percussive and I wanted to see if the AKGs could separate out all the various percussion instruments that are employed. In addition I wanted to know if they could convey the great excitement and drive of the final movement. They could! I could identify all the instruments and when I closed my eyes it took me back to a live performance I saw in the Albert Hall many years ago. To summarise, the AKGs performed well on all the music I tried. They were particularly good at presenting a realistic sound-stage; the performers seemed to be there in front of you. The Allegri was particularly impressive. I have read reviews that say the AKGs lack bass. I don't think that is right. I think they are neutral and reproduce what is there. If you want bass to be boosted these are not the headphones for you! They are rather analytical, i.e. everything is separated out and put into place, and people who like a smoother sound might find that wearing. I simply think it is realistic and I think the more you listen to these headphones the more you will appreciate the analysis. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: do they leak a lot of sound**
A: Open Back headphones are intended to leak sound. These are not designed for use in public spaces, but as studio reference headphones for mixing and mastering. The amount of sound they leak will depend on the volume that you have set.

**Q: is this good for gaming on pc`?**
A: Personally I would say yes. This is the sole reason I purchased these headphones. The sound separation for gaming is perfect. Miles ahead of an expensive turtle beach gaming headset I owned and again a pair of sennheiser cannot even compare to these. You may need to purchase a separate headphone amp to help boost the volume. The only negative is no Mic. You will pay near the purchase price of these akgs for a decent sennheiser with a mic or other headphones with a Mic but they well be no where in comparison with the sound quality of the akgs.

**Q: is this made in austria or china?**
A: Actually it depends on your version. Earlier ones are made in Austria. Newer versions are made in China. I got one from Amazon last week, made in China. Still in audiophile forums, they say that only a few extreme people noticed any extremely minor sound quality and the build quality is the same.If you really want a Made in Austria product check AKGs Q701 for the same price. Same headphones as these, just with a bit more warm sound due to the different earcups -internally they are the same. Also AGK's K702 Anniversary are made in Austria exclusively.

**Q: Can you attach this to a normal cd player?**
A: I need a headphone amp.The k702 is a 62-ohm, 300-ohm headphoneYou need an amplifier that can drive.You can connect to the cd player, but the sound is not good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by R***Ł on 22 March 2026*

Bardzo dobre słuchawki domowe, wokółuszne. Przestrzenne brzmienie, średnica i soprany bez zarzutów (naturalne i szczegółowe brzmienie). Jedyny minus to dość słaby bas. Można equalizerem zwiększyć jego odczuwalność (dodać mu kopa), ale wciąż bez rewelacji. Ogólnie K702 brzmią podobnie do Sundary, tylko bez basu. Wygoda, ergonomia na plus (nie mam zastrzeżeń).
