AKG's K702 Reference Headphone is Simply Outstanding

For years, AKG has been building a loyal following by building headphones that are true to the spirit of the music, presenting it with all the speed, power and soul of a live performance. This is the best headphone we've ever heard from AKG! 

The latest salvo in AKG's quest to offer customers outstanding headphone designs, listening to the K702s is a transformative experience. The K702s offer astonishing clarity and sonic truth. An open-back design, the K702s are exceedingly transparent, opening the soundstage to previously unprecedented dimensions.The K702s take advantage of a revolutionary flat-wire voice coil which offers greater control over the driver, with lower energy consumption. The new Laminate Varimotion drivers are the same ones used in the much revered K701.

"The K702 and its near-twin K701 have a well-deserved reputation for excellence. That's because, in the range from 100Hz to 10kHz, they deliver a balanced and musically consonant sound. Midrange is clear without seeming artificially highlighted and the entire range is delivered with low distortion."
– The Absolute Sound, "Editors' Choice 2012"

The K702 has features unusual in headphones of this quality. The first is a detachable cable, which features a locking mini-XLR connector, making a more secure connection and allowing an easy pathway to a cable upgrade. (See our Cardas Upgrade Cable)

The K702 was designed for the highly demanding "pro" market, so they are extremely comfortable to wear during extended listening sessions and in warm weather.  The silky 3D velvet ear pads keep the headphones floating over the ears and the ultra-soft genuine leather headband makes the K702s virtually weightless.

Like the K701s, each K702 headphone is hand-assembled in Austria and goes through a battery of tests before shipping to ensure ultimate quality.
