Absolutely they really are a remarkable feat of headphone design as essentially they just should by all relative standards of sound design driver action - their open back construction be able to so precisely focus the attention of the listener to the most important element of any material that you evaluate them with & somehow the concept of what open back headphones allow for insofar as the allowance of space a sense of separation by function of their build somehow goes to a place where the most perfect sense of their actually being “true air” in the space that occupies a near perfect sense of the depth that is usually so minimal most never comment on the quality that all open backs should provide. And the AKG’s do it effortlessly and perfectly. It’s really a sense of magic in those headphones

Really great headphones and surprised no one else is recommending them more often 🤔. Also I am having am issue with the pads, they are really stiff ,have you tried after market pads on the K702 ?

I have not personally no.

In fact, one of the many reasons I am so totally thrilled about them is the stiffness of the pads particularly in direct opposite of every other headphone cup pad from AKG’s quite uniquely designed cups that run from the lowest their high range…

So I don’t want to speak for the 702, as I have not tried the aftermarket parts for those AKG’s particularly, however I have, having the exact opposite experience as your issue you used many different pad cups for various AKG’s other then the 702’s which are from what I can tell pretty much very similar if not the same quality options available for the 702’s - I regret to say I’m just totally blanking on the company that I preferred the most, and I know others have had good success with when I get my other office. I’ll do my best to try to track down the name for you and send you a DM if that works?
