I've just returned to change my rating from 4 to 5 stars. The reason being is that having now listened to them for longer and with a wider selection of music, I am impressed enough to say that at $200 they are a steal. They are detailed and very spacious, they reproduce deep bass that sounds like music, they are easy to drive - I'm just using the headphone jack on my Yamaha receiver - and the render female voices fantastically.
They say that the phones don't sound at their best for 500 hours, and that with a decent headphone amp they are even better. Wow if true.
I'd recommend these headphones for listening to complex and nuanced music not dependant on a big bass to be enjoyable. Always a concern of counterfeiting with online purchase of a well-known product at a big discount. I have a pair of Austrian Q701s right here for comparison. With the telephone-assistance of AKG tech support I just went over my new K702s spot by spot and my decision is I am going to keep them. Mine have the number 1671000 inside the left end of the headband. I'm not sure what that is.
BTW. All similar AKGs are made in China now. I own a a pair of Austrian 701s and to the extent I can tell, the only thing better on the 701s vs. the 702 is that the 701s say "Made in Austria" right on the side, which is cool. In fact the 702s have a slightly better leather strap design and seemingly beefier earpads.
