In practice

Your typical frequency response from electric guitar looks like this below: Typical Electric guitar frequency response Founded in 1924, Beyerdynamic has been making headphones for a long time. Their experience is evident in the details of their headphones. Korg uses a proprietary noise-cancelling design that provides clipping resistance that is supposed to be particularly useful for musicians in noisy environments. The noise cancellation function itself can only be switched on and off. For technical purposes, there are microphones on the outside of each side and also inside the ear cup for further control. The external microphones are exceptionally resistant to clipping, in keeping with their suitability for professional use. This makes sense, as the noise-cancelling system has to rely on the external microphones to capture the noise and send it out of phase into the listening channel. If this results in overload, the whole system is thrown into disarray. While the response of your headphones above and below this range will affect how the audible range sounds, clear monitoring in the 300 Hz – 3kHz range is a must have feature for guitar players. Being able to optimise with all of these functions creating a dynamic listening experience for each individual one of them

The adaptable ear cushions enhance the listening experience for the player providing excellent comfort and sound isolation. Acoustic and Vocal Guitar Training Enabled The bass felt slightly overpowering at times. Just enough to take away maximum monitoring clarity in the lower mids. That said, for guitar jamming and hi-fi listening, this would be my personal bass level preference. Often on engineers’ shortlists of favorite mixing headphones, these headphones allow for a wide soundstage and deliver a neutral frequency response perfect for accurate monitoring. You can also feed an audio source through either Bluetooth or another source using the included cable. The monitor sound and the external volumes can be adjusted to reach an ideal balance.

With just a simple tap, or hold, it is easy to activate or deactivate sound for one or both ears. “Multi-Function switch” makes it is easy to activate play / pause / rewind / fast forward / skip functions! Connecting the Bluetooth app could be easier. The connect button has a toggle function that can also be pressed in, this wasn’t obvious at first and required manual consultation (which no one likes).

Noise cancelling

Most tube amps don’t even have headphone outputs like solid state amps. Plugging in headphones disconnects the output voltage to the speaker. Tube amps require an output for the voltage from the transformer or they will literally go up in smoke. They have a comfortable pleather headband and pleather ear cups weighing in at a normal 320 grams. The right ear cup has controls for volume and amp presets. Easy to find and pleasing to the touch, I liked the steel roll dial for volume. If the environment is explicitly loud, the sensitivity of the external microphones can be reduced via this attenuator. Korg wants to ensure a level stability of up to 110 dB. At the same time, the manufacturer claims that the noise-cancelling improves the signal-to-noise ratio by 30 to 35 dB. The velour pads are not too tight and would allow for a long jam session. The sturdy headband has leather padding fastened by buttons. The coiled 3-meter cable should give you enough length for guitar playing, but it is not detachable from the headphones. It includes a 1/4 inch adapter. In general, all the parts feel built to last. The velour cups might need replacing in future years after heavy use, but everything else seems very durable. Sound of the AKG K702
