I have to confess I have simply never heard of a soundstage that comes anywhere near the K702s - if that soundstage sensation is something that really is pleasing to your ear no headphones is it better than the 702s and I work in developing various forms of audio and DSP type software, and essentially have an unlimited budget of headphones that I can purchase and use the aid in developing for example, an app that can go on your iPhone, which can perfectly replicate a tube guitar amplifier by profiling even your own amplifier, using several complex artificial intelligence processes, and a lot of other audio trickery involving masking of frequency location-based or object based speaker designs that nearly always can sound like they’re in the center of the room so I said occasional listen to lots of headphones for lots of reasons IF soundstage. Is it AKG is definitely who call

Reply to What do you do while listening to music? by _Deh

If I'm consciously listening then I like to close my eyes and fully focus, it makes the music feel like it's surrounding you and puts you in a meditative like state when you do that. Otherwise I just enjoy listening while driving or doing something creative

Lol you'd almost think so - I’ll try to help. I think is a very good point of reference of a different company with a very different signature that somehow closely in the arena of what Sennheisers are often widely acclaimed characteristically - there’s a massive matching model of Beyerdynamic headphones that will offer a very interesting informative contrast in sound differences, which might reveal a preference for one over the other.

Interestingly somehow one can do this, and managed to hear quite a difference in character and sound presentation. Well, somehow still keeping the core characteristics of what people typically seek in the 600 series easily, in focus for very revealing and interesting comparison, but I think it’s worthwhile everybody tries they have the opportunity I found it quite revealing very revealing and interesting and comparison, I think it’s worthwhile to anyone to try if they have the opportunity - I found it quite revealing, and I was much more easily able to separate the individual characteristics a preferred in each

If onboard audio has no audible noise or distortion, whilst providing enough volume, you don't need an external DAC/amp.

I drive 92dB/mW Noires with a 6mW at 16ohm phone (less powerful than an apple dongle) and going beyond 50% volume is too loud for me :)

At the end of the day, we all have to remember it’s always preference we’re buying these for ourselves, right? And being in a conversation like this is evidence that we are aware that better headphones then Beats exist - any preference that’s backed with even a modicum of knowledge is the right headphone for you
