As the title says i need some new over ear headphones.

After my akg 612,s were sent back with a fault.and 5days of issues including them sending out a used pair to me as new.

I am in the market for a new over ear headphones.
They will run off a SMSL SD 793II DAC and i have about £120 to spend.

so what are the options or should i just get another set of 612,s ?

What do you use the headphones for mainly?

Mainly used for music and a bit of gaming.

K612 make good gaming headphones, so if you like the sound signature for music, could just buy another pair; unless you fancy trying something different. K702 are similar, but I think the K612 are more balanced. K702 have more treble and a bit less bass IIRC. Slightly better build quality I think and also have a detachable cable.

If you fancy something different, then depends whether you'd be looking for a headphone that's perhaps got deeper and much punchy bass. Soundmagic HP150, Beyerdynamic DT770 and Sony MDR 1A are all similarly priced around £100-£120, and offer more in the way of deeper and more punchy bass than the AKG's.
