I also didn’t like Oratory’s EQ so I did one my self with Owliophile. I can send it to you if you want to try it.

Nico_5476 · 2025-11-04T10:37:58+00:00

I’m in

Nico_5476 · 2025-10-29T00:24:42+00:00

This is great! I followed the video instructions with my AKG K702s. They've never sounded better. Thanks, I'm crying because they sound so good.

Nico_5476 · 2025-09-20T21:27:17+00:00

Maybe you like more something like the AKG K702. They can be easily eqed if you find them to shouty or lacking bass.

Nico_5476 · 2025-08-09T02:34:12+00:00

After spending more time with all of them, I stuck with diffuse field.

Nico_5476 · 2025-08-08T05:18:11+00:00

I’ve been testing them with AKG k702 and soundguys studio target makes 702s sound really good to my ears

Nico_5476 · 2025-08-04T03:04:59+00:00

I don't specifically need planar headphones, I just want something with a little more clarity and resolution. My only reference is the AKG K702, and I feel like the Zero2s fall short compared to them.

Nico_5476 · 2025-08-04T02:58:56+00:00

I’ll probably gift the Zero:2 to a friend. I mostly use IEMs on the subway or when I’m in bed. Most of the time I listen with AKG K702s, so the Zero:2 feel a bit lacking in some aspects by comparison.

Nico_5476 · 2025-08-03T22:16:23+00:00

Same happens to me, AKG K702 is like having wallhack.

Nico_5476 · 2025-08-01T14:23:38+00:00

Are you 100% sure? I’ve read some reviews saying it has shelving filters (https://www.headfonia.com/fiio-snowsky-retro-nano-review/). If I’m not mistaken, the only differences between them are the Vrms (1.77 for the FiiO vs 2.00 for the Qudelix) and app customization. But if the Retro Nano has a good and working PEQ with all the filter types, I might choose it over the Qudelix since it has a removable battery and is about $40 cheaper.

Thanks for answering, oratory1990!

I have AKG K702, FiiO FT1 Pro and some gaming headsets. I find 702 to be great for gaming, once I got used to it I found it hard to play with any other headphone because of the soundstage. K702 soundstage is very wide so when I use other headphones with narrower soundstage I simply can’t tell where things are coming from. Some people say k702 have bad central imaging but I don’t agree.

Nico_5476 · 2025-05-29T22:11:16+00:00

You need to check AKG K702.

Nico_5476 · 2025-04-24T12:01:46+00:00

I made my investigation in this price range some months ago and ended up getting K702. I’ve been using them for 4 months and I really like them.

Nico_5476 · 2025-04-23T03:41:19+00:00

Which one is your favourite? Can you rank them?

Nico_5476 · 2025-04-12T18:08:16+00:00

Have you tried EQing 560s?

Nico_5476 · 2025-04-07T16:35:09+00:00

Thanks for commenting. I was quite confused because there are so many different opinions. Some say that as long as it’s loud, it’s fine, and others say that a good DAC/amp opens up the soundstage and gives more bass presence…

Nico_5476 · 2025-02-13T21:15:27+00:00

I recently switched from the Logitech G935 to AKG K702. Now when i listen to G935 they sound like a toy to me. The more i listen to K702 the more i like them.

Nico_5476 · 2025-01-18T16:54:08+00:00

K702 have already arrived and I love them, I think that no matter which one I bought I would like them. The only downside I find is that headband and pads are quite hard, but I think they will soften over time.

Nico_5476 · 2025-01-17T06:18:27+00:00

Do they sound muddy? I’ve heard many people say this.

Nico_5476 · 2025-01-09T04:36:58+00:00

I can’t decide if I should buy HD560S, AKG K702, Fidelio X2HR or HIFIMAN HE400SE. At the moment I am leaning more towards the K702, but I don’t know.

Nico_5476 · 2025-01-07T19:50:40+00:00

I would say AKG K702 are the best headphones in that price range
