Sound Quality

For sound quality in general, AKG Pro Audio K702 has a flat, neutral and neat sound. The Lows, Mids, High, Treble, and Bass, are not that much-hyped up. They sound natural, and they the way the sound was recorded. However, there is no distortion of sound in all, Lows, Mids, and Highs.

The thing that makes AKG Pro K702 the best gaming open-back headphones is its excellent positional accuracy. You can locate the source of the audio very quickly without any directional problems.

AKG Pro K702 features a wide range of frequency responses that is 10 Hz to 39,800 Hz (which is more than what a human ear can hear), So you won't be going to get any problem in that range. The sound stage with these headphones is very appealing, especially for its price.

This headphone sounds exceptionally good even without any sound card or amplifier.

Design

AKG Pro Audio K702 has really decent looking, good looks. The earcups are huge and fit around the whole ear. The arm attached to both earcups is of metal material. The headband is present right at the bottom of that arm. There is also a silver-colored ring bulged outside on the outside of both earcups.

The cable is attached at the bottom of the left earcup.

Durability

In terms of durability, AKG Pro K702 is very durable. Many users even claimed that they have been using them for five years, and they are still working fine for them.

The Headphone itself is very flexible and can withstand a lot of tension in its arms. The material used on these headphones is also durable, giving it another plus.

Moreover, the cable is also detachable, so that you can replace it if it gets damaged.

Comfort

In general, The AKG Pro K702 is very comfortable. The very soft velvet material is used for padding the earcups, making them very comfortable. The headband is also made up of soft leather material, and it is auto adjustable.

There is no sense of pressure present both on the top head and ears. The earcups really clap well on the ears. You can even wear them with glasses without any discomfort.

If it is said that AKG Pro K702 is the best gaming headphone for big heads, it wouldn't be wrong because it can fit almost every head size properly. And not only that it can also fit properly on a small head, so you don't have to worry.

Also, you can wear these headphones for a long duration of time with comfort. But I would recommend wearing them for an extended period of time because it can negatively affect you.
