AKG K702
The AKG K702 headphones are praised for their wide soundstage, detailed mids and highs, and exceptional comfort, making them ideal for analytical listening, gaming, and studio mixing.

They are considered a great value when on sale, but not recommended for bass-heavy music genres like heavy rock.
