Guys, I'm going to place order for K702 tomorrow. Any comment for this model?

Guys, I'm planning of getting k702 soon for home use and on-the-go(sometimes) with my Sony A846 player. Do I need an amp for it? Any recommended amp for it?

Thanks for the reply guys. Have heard about e7+e9 but many still said it's not enough to drive those higher end headphones, so I think I will invest on a RM1-2k amp for it. Any recommendation?

Erm, mind explain?

Ic, thanks for your feedback about E7 and E9. Do you have any recommendation to warm up the k702's sound signature? Well I will be heading to Jaben to try out their available range of amp soon, but if there's a good one to go for, I can save the time

Ah icic, thanks. No portable amp able to drive out k702's full power either?

If portable ver? Any amp reco? I might raise my budget to 3k if my next month allowance increases.

Er, cable makes that difference? means basically q701 and k702 is still same unit except diff cable? how much the cable cost?

New happy owner of AKG Q460





My second AKG set since K702 early last year

Haha ok maybe noob 2 cents impression...

Last month I decided to get a portable cans to replace my portable use Sony EX500 IEM(they are not broken, just kinda irritated that I won't be able to hear people calling me when I'm listening music with it, especially in college). These are possibly one of the best portable can(if not the best I have tested) straight out from the box. The sound is very direct, exciting and the bass is just sufficient to me. It's a bit tight at first when I started using it(my head is big, lol), but after awhile I got used to it. Love the ear pads. Damn airy, soft and comfy on ears.

Before I bought this, I have audited AKG Q460, K450, Beats Solo HD, Klipsch Image One and Fanny Wang's 1000 series(all have gone through 200 hours burn in). End up loving both Klipsch Image One and AKG Q460 because of their ability to perform at a pretty good overall standard playing straight from my portable devices(Samsung Galaxy Note and Sony A846) without really needing a portable amp to boost(lazy to bring amp around actually..). The reason I choosed Q460 instead of Image One is because of the replaceable cable because my headphones mainly spoils because of cable issue, I quite careless with my stuffs haha.

I find it slightly better from K450. Bass aside, everything sounds 1 step better too no matter how many types of songs I try(acoustic-kpop-clubsongs-jazz...)

But the warmth, soundstage, vocal clarity, details... still cannot compare to my K702 though when I compare both on Foobar software and plugged in to my Asus Essence STX sound card. Honestly, size really matters

Might try Bowers and Wilkins P5 if got chance next time and compare

Thanks bro.
The bass level is just up to my liking. Beats Solo HD is another world level of bassy already haha. But anyway I still choose Q460 because of the mid and high tone is much better than Solo HD, which is kinda important because I also listen acoustic music quite often other than Kpop Jpop

I have no experience with K142 and K242, but since these 2 cans you mentioned are designed to be used at home(semi-open), I bet Q460 has lesser sound leak compared to them. The sound leak can say is very minimal as no one complains when I use it in library yesterday, listening at 75% volume on my Sony Walkman
