Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO
AKG K702
The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO and the AKG K702 are both great headphones for audiophiles and have very little difference in performance. Sound-wise, the AKG 's bass doesn't extend as low when compared to the Beyerdynamic. On the other hand, the AKG don't feel as tight on the head as the Beyerdynamic, which is more comfortable for long listening sessions. However, the AKG don’t seem as durable since they lack a full metal frame like the Beyerdynamic. The AKG also have a more immersive design, and they come with a very long and detachable cable while the Beyerdynamic have a short, coiled cable. Which you'll prefer depends on whether you like the flat mid-range on the AKG or want a thicker-sounding low-midrange on the Beyerdynamic.
