Frequently Asked Questions
Are the K702 good for mixing and mastering, or just listening?
The K702 are specifically designed for mixing and mastering. They feature a flat, accurate frequency response, a patented two-layer diaphragm, and flat-wire voice coils that deliver transparent highs and defined lows—essential for precision work in the studio.
What makes the K702 different from closed-back headphones?
The K702 use a totally open design that creates a spacious, airy soundstage without compromise. This lets you hear stereo placement and room reflections more clearly, which is invaluable for mixing decisions, but they do leak sound and offer no isolation.

Can I replace the cable?

What skill level do I need to use these headphones?
The K702 are built for intermediate to professional users who understand mixing and mastering workflows. Their flat response rewards trained ears; casual listeners may find them less forgiving than consumer headphones.
