The verdict

AKG pulls out most of the stops with the K702. It has very pleasant treble reproduction and a studio-style frequency response. While it's light on bass, the K702 still performs admirably for your editing needs. The gentle clamping force and weight distribution mean the K702 can be worn for hours easily.
