Flat wire voice coil
Patented Varimotion™ two-layer diaphragm
"3D Form" ear pads for perfect fit
Individually tested and numbered
The K 702 are the new reference for open-back dynamic AKG headphones. They combine an extremely accurate response with yet unseen agility and spaciousness. This is achieved by using revolutionary flat-wire voice coils and a patented Varimotion™ two-layer diaphragm. A totally open design and a high performance cable complete these reference headphones.

Their comfortable, specially shaped “3D-form” ear pads and a padded genuine-leather headband ensure a perfect fit. They are individually tested and numbered.

K 702 – experience pure perfection.
In a move to provide customers in the professional recording and broadcast community with superior sonic performance coupled with an attractive aesthetic design, AKG Acoustics introduced its new K 702 dynamic headphones at InfoComm '08

The new K 702 headphones advance the legacy and sonic integrity of the successful K 701, are accompanied by personalized fitting ear pads, light weight and come in a sleek stage blue finish to withstand the wear and tear of professional studio life.

“We wanted our K 702s to look as good as we know they sound,” explained Sonja Malzer, Product Manager, AKG. “The white K 701s were extremely successful and much loved as personal monitors, but they were victims of their own success and studio life took its toll on the pristine white. As such, we’re continuing the K 701 in white and we expect that product to be a very successful personal monitor but we’re now also offering the new K 702s for applications where there will be numerous discrete users and busier traffic.”

The AKG K 702 headphones feature besides its professional detachable cable a revolutionary flat-wire voice coil technology for accurate sound and transient response for professional use as well as around the ear headphones for personal use. The sound clarity is enhanced with the patented Varimotion 2-layer diaphragm, which produces clear highs and accurate bass response. The AKG K 702 headphones feature audio bandwidth of 10-39,800Hz, efficiency of 105dB SPL/V; max. input power: 200mW, rated impedance: 62 ohms and light weight of just 235g.

“Above all else, the new K 702 sounds exceptional!” Sonja Malzer continued. “Everyone who uses them speaks of the great sound and this underscores AKG’s 60-year heritage and single-minded commitment to quality audio in all applications!”

Silver Dragon version Review: Here

 

Whether you prefer the holistic approach or like to listen analytically, the K 701 will turn perception into pure enjoyment.

AKG is the first manufacturer in the world to use revolutionary flat-wire technology in headphones, namely, the K 701. The result is a truly dramatic sound that places every musician at their correct location with pinpoint accuracy. This kind of agility, spaciousness, brilliant highs, and velvety, punchy bass is simply miraculous.

These superlative open-back dynamic headphones provide an outstandingly accurate sound and excellent imaging. Try the K 701 and find out what ingenious headphone engineering can do for you.

Revolutionary flat-wire voice coil technology
Patented AKG Varimotion ultra-precision two-layer diaphragm
Self-adjusting cushioned genuine-leather headband
Bi-wiring, high-performance cable with 1/4" jack plug
Comfortable, specially shaped "3D-Form" ear pads
Complete with stylish storage cradle
Individually tested and numbered

The heart of any headphone is the diaphragm. Made of extremely thin foil, the diaphragm is required by transducer designers to perform incredible, almost artistic feats. The rim of the diaphragm must vibrate elastically while the center portion should move like a piston. AKG achieved just that by designing the Varimotion system.
The "sound zone" in the center is thicker than the rim and therefore moves like a piston with no partial oscillations. The result is an absolutely realistic sound, with a better sonic perspective and an airier high end. The rim, or "movement zone", is thinner and vibrates more easily, providing a powerful, punchy bass range.

Precisely tailored response and cutting-edge design: a must for all audiophiles.

These future-oriented, open-back dynamic headphones do not only offer good wearing comfort but also deliver an incredibly detailed, full, yet crisp sound. This is the result of a new AKG Varimotion two-layer diaphragm that ensures optimum diaphragm motion for extremely accurate high frequency response and a powerful low end.

The overall sound is uncommonly natural and open. In short, the K 601 are premium reference headphones for anyone who appreciates true high-end equipment.
