AKG K 702

Got 'em for $270 after shipping on Amazon.

I need a nice amp for them, because my current one is dead. I'm planning on getting a Gilmore Lite from HeadAmp as soon as they have some in stock.

Imagine a bell systems handset from a rotary phone with a sennheiser hd-280 driver tucked inside.

Even kept the original wire, slapped a 1/4 TRS plug on it. It runs in summed mono, I use it for monitoring/mixing only.

A set of HD-25's is on the way in a few weeks.

Imagine these falling apart.

Oh wait.

I still use it

, and it still has mad bass.

I think i'm gonna glue the soft part back on.

Sennheisers are okay. I had a pair of HD-555s before my current pair and I had to use the "Rock" preset on the EQ of all my media players to get them to sound right (wtf?).

Yeah man, i dont know if you mean what i mean, but the bass is fucking dominant.

Rock preset usually stands for less bass.

I had some pioneer ones that lasted me 12 or so years. I just recently got some M-audio ones which are a midway between DJ headphones and Studio heaphones.

I would love to post a picture of my sony mdr 600's with the neophyte sticker on the side, and the red super uber cool if you have one soundbomb.org sticker on the top/cross the line sticker. but the guy that has them is polishing his gun and or in jail. BOHHHHHHHHHH.

na man, it's the fucking pleather peeling off and some ants got into the left ear piece and chewed some shit up on the inside.

that and the chord has the wires exposed by the headphone, so i have to jack off the chord in an upward position to reposition the wire to go up.

but they do the job, i use them for my main production

Rock preset usually stands for less bass.

Actually, it makes the bass deeper, louder, gives it a little more "oomph", and gives the treble a lot more clarity. The difference was night and day on my HD-555s, it improved the highs and lows drastically without any downsides.

EDIT: What I was trying to say was that the Rock preset really balanced out the bass-dominance, got rid of the infamous "sennheiser veil" and generally made them sound a lot better. I tried this on my K 702s though and it made them sound worse, but that's because my K 702s sound perfect without an EQ in the first place.

I'm not sure if it'd work on yours or not, but it's worth trying. I had the best results with Winamp.

some cheap crap, but the only thing it needs to do is to play my music, and it does that!
