About the AKG K701 Headphones
The AKG K701 is an open-back, wired over-ear headphone built for analytical listening and studio mixing. It uses 50 mm dynamic drivers with AKG's flat-wire voice coil and a 62-ohm impedance, so it wants a decent amp rather than a phone jack. The velour pads and 235 g weight make long sessions comfortable, but the open-back design leaks sound both ways.
