AKG 702 replacement

[The_Arbiter]

The DT 900 Pro X has a smoother v-shaped signature without the aggressive "Mount Beyer" peaks in treble their classic headphones were known for.

That's interesting. If I were to buy some more these sound (no pun intended) like they'd be ideal. I know Hifiman felt similar in sound to what you describe, maybe.

I loved the K702. , but the build quality was pants. The internal wire came loose, the ear pad hinge broke and the elastic soon deteriorated. I had other build issues with the AKG K361 too funnily enough. I think that's the downside with AKG headphones that remain available.

Strangely enough, it was my Beyers that deteriorated in storage rather than the most of the others, but I'm going to send the Beyer DT1350's to Customcans for a new cable and padding and keep them. Padding is cheap enough from China and easy to DIY, but I don't have a soldering gun for the cable.

I think all the akg staff set up a new company called Austrian audio after they were bought out by Samsung worth a look in future if your cans die and its not the cable
