Great overall
Great headset, priced well for what you get, headband is rather cheap though but they had to cut costs somewhere. Clear plastic piece that attaches to the flexible cable snaps rather quickly but does no affect headset aside from making it rest a little lower on your head. Will update review after I purchase an amplifier.

Before buying this, I was using a pair of Sony monitor headphones, which were honestly really good, but I wanted to try some open back headphones. Don't regret it at all. I hear a much larger sound space than I did with the Sony monitors. They very comfortable and don't squeeze my head nor my ears. Although one gripe I have that some have mentioned is that it does have a cheapish feel to the plastic, not a dealbreaker. Plus I have dropped them several times and have not broken at all, but your mileage may vary.
Tl;dr: Really comfy, nice wide sound space and would buy again. It has a bit of cheapish plastic, but not terrible quality.

Great sound quality and comfortable for long periods
The sound quality is exceptional and I'm loving the overall feel and feedback of these headphones. My previous daily driver were the ath m50x's and I have to say the 7xx's are much crisper in every way possible-highs, mids, and lows. I have to say, though. because the ear pads are so large, they tend to get pretty warm on warmer days. I would recommend 100% though

Great headphone
No need to say much about this headphone, it’s just as great as the original legendary K701/k702, with a lower price.

comfy headphones
only reason not 5 stars is I had to open up and rewire the right can, there was some flaw when I got it, but overall so far it's given me a good ~2 years and I expect more after the fix.

Very comfy, excellent sound quality, not for outside
Great build and sound quality. Coming from a pair of M220 it is definitely a great improvement!
Would not wear these in the bus or plane: they are pretty big and leak sound (they're open back, duh).

great sound stage, good for referencing. Made of plastic, the materials feels cheap.

Honestly I would compare them to the HD6xx's having had a chance to try both. The AKG's are not as refined as the HD6xx's but they still offer a pretty nice sound signature. Bass is not in your face thudding but is still there. The vocals are really nice and the Treble isn't to spiky. I would kinda compare them to a whisky. There a nice smoothness to them thought there not as refined as my Amiron Homes. The Amiron's are more like a nice wine smooth and refined. I still easily recommend the AKG's. The sound stage on the AKG's is insanely wide.

I've had these headphones for about two years now and they've been my daily-drivers for at home PC listening. I have one major gripe: build quality. The reason they've lasted through several drops onto hard carpet is because they're light. They are essentially entirely plastic, and I'd say its a noticably less premium feeling plastic than AKG's other offerings. They have broken in one particularly annoying way: the elastic bands have all but given out their tension. The headphones, without treatment, would sit on the tops of my ears due to the loss of elasticity. Again, this is normal use over the course of ~1-1.5 years when they gave out noticeably. Now I have rubberbands wrapped around the earcups to hold the headphones together. Pretty disappointed they haven't lasted as robustly as I'd hoped, but they sound great, have a fantastic sound stage, and are extremely comfortable when working properly. A good bet for you if they are not going to be your daily-driver headphones, or you listen occasionally with them.

I absolutely love these headphones. I’ve got a pair of HD650’s and the HD6XX. With a good enough amp, the Sennheiser’s win, in my opinion. However, the K7XX sounds fantastic to. And due to their 62 ohm impedance, you can use them with lower powered equipment. I have the Sennheiser GSX1000 for PC gaming. Yes, virtual surround sound is usually garbage. The GSX sounds fantastic, but doesn’t have a high powered output. The K7XX pairs wonderfully with these. Even though they’re semi-open, the soundstage sounds great. The K7XX and the GSX1000 makes for a wonderful virtual surround sound experience. And for on the go use, they work great with the AudioQuest Dragonfly Red DAC. Lastly, they are super comfortable. I forget I’m wearing them. Buy these, you won’t regret it.
