Great deal, the argument about these against the x4 priced Sennheiser HD800s is still raging on HeadFi. The sound is very well balanced, the comment on lack of bass by some reflects AKGs philosophy as a microphone and movie equipment manufacturer, meaning a good balance of all three tonal ranges. The open ear design, suspension, and large soft muffs create a great experience. Paired with my android UAPP iFi-xDSD they sound amazing. Proud owner of four of these, all second hand.

I'm so glad that I did my research and decided to pay a bit more for this premium brand of headsets. Not only were the reviews about their ultimate comfort true but I was amazed at the sound. I have one of the top of the line Sony 7.1 Dolby THX surround sound receivers and certainly didn't think headsets would solve the problem of my house mates privacy without comprimising sound quality...boy was I wrong. Not only were they comfortable to wear for 2/3 hour movies but with the full ear cups it gave me the surround sound feeling with perfect deep bass as well as beautiful treble. If you're not prepared to spend over a $1,000 for what some say are the best on the planet (of which I've never tried) I highly recomend these and find it hard to believe it's possble to make a better sound regardless of how much you spend.Read full review
The AKG K702 Reference-Class Premium Studio headphones are a great studio monitor and DJ headphone with an incredibly accurate sound stage -- producing exceptional highs and refined lows. They are great for music production and DJ'ing because of the single-sided, 99.99% oxygen-free cable. AKG utilizes two proprietary technologies for the K702, including varimotion, two-layer diaphragms and flat-wire, voice-coils that aid in delivering a crisp sound with minimal distortion. The AKG K702s are ideals for professionals in music production, DJs, or casual listeners who desire an accurate sound stage that isn't too bright and doesn't have overwhelming bass. Additionally, each pair of K702s is individually tested and numbered and comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty to ensure a high level of quality control. The K702s are very ergonomic, employing a leather headband and 3-D form foam ear pads. They're also highly durable and aren't as prone to breaking like other headphones, e.g. Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, due to the metal arches that they cite as 'unbreakable'.Read full review
Surgical sound. You need these headphones for surgical sound editing in the midrange of your tracks. The bass is totally lack luster.. but if you buy the Sonarworks Reference 4 software for $100 your AKG's will sound super full and lush.. the low end comes alive when using that mixing software.

I'm using these as my cans and they are detailed and comfortable to use- Already detected distortion that I could hear in my hs5's or focal alphas-which are both great, but I think these are filling in some gaps from a monitoring perspective-obviously great for getting stereo balance
