Frequently Asked Questions

The K-702 is generally considered a slightly more balanced and easier-to-drive version of the K-701, with a bit less emphasis on the high frequencies.
While lightweight for their class, the clamping force can be a bit tight initially, but they generally become comfortable with extended use. Head shape plays a significant role in comfort.
Given the 62 Ohm impedance, a decent quality headphone amplifier is recommended to fully unlock their potential, though they'll still function with most devices.
