" ... These headphones are known for their accuracy: what the recording engineer meant you to hear is what you should hear. ... If a track is filled with nuances, you should hear the nuances. ... "
" ... I'm running via a Focusrite USB recording unit which is ok (the sound is brilliant) but I know they could be even better with more power behind them. ... "
" ... 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. ... "
" ... I must say these headphones are amazing for professional audio mixing. ... You get what you hear. ... - You get the best result when using a headphone amp ... "
" ... Ok let me start by saying this are headphones for the real audiophile. ... Everything sounds as it is on the recording. ... Everything is SO RIGHT, everything sounds sweet and smooth. ... I listened with this some Marc Anthony songs and is just . ... There's s nothing bad to say about the sound. ... "
" ... I would describe the sound as being flat, meaning they don't have very much base at all. ... The sound overall is very very clear, a lot more clear than other headphones I've tried. ... It makes hearing vocals and what not a lot easier and makes voices sound amazing. ... The sounds doesn't sound enhanced like a lot of other headphones, which I guess makes sense since these are studio headphones, but it's kinda nice since it makes everything sound very authentic. ... The sound that escapes from the other side of the headphones is a lot less than I thought it would be, and probably wouldn't be as big of a deal in public as you might think unless you're somewhere really quiet like a library or you listen to your music super loud. ... The open backness of the headphones makes everything more immersive than regular closed back headphones, they make everything sound like you're literally right there. ... -The sound doesn't have much base, but everything else sounds very clear and accurate. ... -Open back design is interesting to experience for the first time, but makes everything sound way more immersive. ...

" ... The dt770-80 is my go to headphone for fun listening. ... But the k702 sound great with alternative rock, jangle pop, some detailed industrial, and acoustic music. ... "
" ... These have very good treble and decent sound stage, but out of my 9 headphones, I use these the least. ... For some reason the sound the best on my least favorite amp, the soundblaster. ... "

" ... 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 wi ...

" ... - Super light and comfortable ... "
" ... The material they build it out of makes them really light which is good for extended periods of use. ... They're really flexible and the auto adjusting headband is kinda nice. ... I like the leather the headband is made out of, I'm pretty sure it's real leather too which is a nice touch. ... "
" ... The sound quality was great, and they were the most comfortable headphones I've ever had. ... "
" ... Also the headphones fit very softly and comfortably. ... If I had to complain about one thing, it would be that they tend to move to a specific place on my head that might not be where I want them, but thatight just be my own head. ... "
" ... Excellent audio reproduction, extremely comfortable to wear. ... All of my other cans and buds can rest in peace. ... "
" ... The most comfortable and neutral pair I have ever owned. ... "
" ... Quite comfortable too, even after long periods. ... "

" ... 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. ... "
" ... Oh no no, the bass is pretty much there, is just perfect. ... "
" ... I would describe the sound as being flat, meaning they don't have very much base at all. ... "
" ... The bass sounds great if I turn up the volume when a song begins, but once the mids and highs kick in, I have to turn down the volume because the mids and highs are too loud. ... "
" ... These have very good treble and decent sound stage, but out of my 9 headphones, I use these the least. ... "
" ... It's for when you need absolutely flat sound and aren't in it for bass. ... "
" ... They do have good bass response but you just don't feel it. ... "
" ... However this makes bass sound underwhelming, but bass is very detailed. ... "
