Sound quality is great

The sound quality is excellent

Sound quality is top

Performance is good, build quality is bad.

These were not designed to cancel outside noise, since that particular technology greatly degrades the quality of the music

" Also, many audiophiles believe that class A gives the best sound quality (for their absence of crossover distortion and reduced odd-harmonic and high-order harmonic distortion) which provides a small market for expensive high fidelity class-A amps."REASEARCH WEB SITES (that don't sell products)Blogs on all

While this setup wasn't what I was initially intending them for (was planning to bring them to work... probably won't be happening now), the sound quality achievable from this things is truly incredible

For such a high price you expect better quality.

These really need a high quality amp to shine as they are power hungry.

Incredible sound quality across the spectrum and extremely comfortable

They cost that much, plus about once again that much for a decent quality headphone amplifier

But since the cable broke down, I've been using the 702s for everything and let me tell you: though the bass on these is very light compared to every other high end headphone on the market, the tightness of it and the overall sound quality is amazing

The sound quality is great

Great sound quality but too expensive

If you are like me and sick of paying top dollar for Chinese made substandard quality, you will appreciate the quality of these headphones.2

Yeah, they're still really nice headphones despite the slightly cheap build quality.

Sound quality is affected by gear somewhat like so:Bitrate (with these babys, you better be using flac) >

I don't like the build quality since the self adjusting headband feels a bit creaky when you put on the headphones, not as smooth as vintage AKGs I own.

It just underscores an air of cheap build quality

The sound quality was great, and they were the most comfortable headphones I've ever had

Sound quality was disappointing.

I think people have become accustomed to bad quality stereos because a lot of cheap stuff out there is all about the bass

I use Triad Audio's Lisa III amp to enhance the sound quality.

its very bendy, and the part where the connector turns to the cable, the rings, most people probably dont know what those are for, its not too obvious on most cables, because they're cheap, but this ones rings make it more obvious, it prevents the cable from making too sharp of a bend, and because the cable isnt horribly stiff, but the rings are moderately stiff, and go an entire inch into the cable, the cable doesnt make any sharp turns, and so it will last much longer!also, if you only use MP3's, dont bother, the quality of sound wont scale as well

Great quality with interchangeable cords5

I prefer to purchase products manufactured in facilities with a track record of excellent quality control

Great quality

And yes, it does not tolerate or flatter poor recording, rather focussing itself on the most accurate and neutral reproduction of good quality audiophile recordings.

The quality is fantastic.

Lovely cans, excellent for reference listening, mixing, or just enjoying fantastic sound quality on pretty much anything with a 3.5mm jack.

The sound quality is simply astounding and I smile every time I put these headphones on.

Excellent sound quality.

These are a great purchase with excellent sound quality and longevity.

When hooked up to said good receiver, these headphones shine brightly, and if you use a decent headphone amp, then you can enjoy a better quality of sound while on the go

The audio quality of these headphones is incredible when compared to their cost.

Compared to Audio technica headphone I have, which is much much cheaper, AudioTechnica offer much much better construction quality and better materials.

Sound quality:I prefer open-air headphones like in Senn, Grado and Akg.

Then again, these are meant for (and deserve) top quality recordings and gear

Delivers very good sound quality.

Not a problem if you are using headphones to keep sound from escaping into another room (i.e. from a home theatre vs. these headphones), or if you are using headphones just for the superior quality

The quality was garbage and the sound quality was lacking

Thirdly, the banding which connects both ends of the foams doesn't seem as 'sturdy' as my 601's, but it's nearly the same diameter, but still seems to lack a certain quality about it

Ear cushions are extremely comfortable and great music quality.

The build quality on the Akg702 is excellent as is the intricate and wide spacious detailed sound which is around 80% of the Sennheiser hd800 for only 1/5 the cost

Exceptional sound quality

The quality of the sound is great

The sound will make you sell your dre beats.the only issue is if you do want the perfect sound quality along with some worth while volume, you'll have to purchase a headphone amp(20 bucks)

These headphones have finally broken in for me (about 150 hours), and the sound quality is now so outstanding that I feel compelled to provide some praise for them

Comes with both sizes of quality gold-plated jacks

That are made in China does not make them inferior quality than those produced in Austria

While the sound quality is good, I doubt I'll be purchasing AKGs in the future.

Comfortable, sound quality improves with age, nice long cord

cups.-The overall build quality feels really light and cheap, but also sturdy at the same time

Although I put up with it for the outstanding sound quality and have gotten used to it to some degree, I still notice the pressure that the K702s put on the top of my head.

But, I think I want to say one thing about these headphones that sets them apart, because yes, the sound quality is amazing

That isn't to say it doesn't do a great job of presenting rock, pop, reggae and simpler folk as well as it is certainly pleasant, can't understand why some people complying about the bass as I find it enough and not over doing it like some other headphones

Not as neutral as I'd like, bright but not tinny

I am not expert but can say that the sound is exactly what i wanted - absolutely transparent reproduction of the source as crisp and clean as it can be

If you crank the volume up, you won't annoy anyone around you as the leakage is minimal

These really need a high quality amp to shine as they are power hungry.

I can have full conversations while wearing these headphones, as ridiculous as I may look.

, i've never really heard about this "burning in" myth but 3-4 weeks in i definitely hear a difference as far as tracks that were a bit hot/distorted when i listened 3 weeks ago at a loud but capable level are now cleaner and can take the same volume levels, might be placebo who knows, the china move to have these made over there from Austria must be why the price is so low as they do initially lightweight and "plastic" but keep in mind these are meant to be used in studios not thrown in backpacks and worn on public transportation, the brainwaves pads added some weight that makes them feel more "expensive" in a way, however the key component, the driver seems to not have been compromised for cheaper parts like the housing/build as i a/b tested these with an Austrian built pair my buddy
