The open construction creates a spacious presentation. Varimotion two-layer diaphragms and flat-wire voice coils support detailed listening across the recording. Use familiar recordings and a consistent listening level when assessing sound with your usual audio equipment.

Comfort for studio work

Shaped 3D-foam pads and a leather headband support a comfortable fit. Replaceable earpads help keep the headphone ready for continued use. Set the earcups into a comfortable position before bringing the volume to your usual listening level.

A replaceable connection

The 3 m cable connects to the headphone through a mini-XLR socket. A 3.5 mm stereo plug and screw-on 6.3 mm adapter suit compatible desktop audio equipment.

Choose a quieter space

Open earcups let sound travel in both directions. They suit a quiet listening position where isolation is not the priority. Use familiar recordings and a consistent listening level when assessing sound with your usual audio equipment.

The Driver System in This Model

The listed driver arrangement is 45 mm. The manufacturer’s stated frequency response is 10 Hz - 39,800 Hz.

Driver size describes the construction; the full listening result also depends on fit and your audio chain.

Which headphone configuration is this?

AKG K702 Over-Ear Open-Back Headphones. 62 ohms is the listed impedance; choose the exact model rather than transferring specifications from another version.

Is the acoustic design suitable for my room?

Open-back headphones allow sound into and out of the earcups. A quiet environment helps, and nearby microphones or people may hear the playback.

Do I need a headphone amplifier?

62 ohms is the impedance, but sensitivity, source capability and your desired level also matter. Use a suitable headphone output; higher-impedance models can need more voltage than a phone or controller provides.

What cable or plug is specified?

Detachable 3 m cable; mini-XLR headphone connection. Gold-plated 3.5 mm stereo plug. Use the connection and any adapter specified for this exact model.

Does it include a voice microphone?

These are dedicated listening headphones. Add a separate microphone and the appropriate recording input if your setup needs voice chat or recording.

How should I interpret the recommended audio equipment?

The recommendations offer alternative audio chains. A standalone amplifier needs a suitable analogue source; a standalone DAC needs an amplifier. Keep the normal stereo cable with the matching headphone output.
