Drop + AKG K7XX Pulse Headphones

The headphones that started it all, the AKG K7XX have been an enduring community favorite since they first launched. Since then, they’ve received praise from Head-Fi, Super Best Audio Friends, Z Reviews, and more for offering a rare value in the world of open-back cans. Now, we’re working with AKG to put an electric twist on the headphones, styled to match MiTo’s iconic Pulse keycap set. Inspired by the legendary AKG K702 65th-anniversary edition, this rendition features the same dynamic driver technology and superior build quality—plus a few updates in sound and comfort. Great for at-home listening and gaming (especially if you add a mod mic), the K7XX Pulse are a perfect complement to the Pulse keycaps, but they’ll add a spark to any setup. 

The K7XX deliver an extended frequency response and a wide, locationally specific soundstage that puts you closer to the source than most cans. Compared to the original AKG K702, the highs were boosted by an innovative flat-wire voice coil, the mids were brought up to better balance the range, and the lows were jacked up by 3 decibels for fully immersive sound imaging. To make sure the channels are synced up and well balanced, each transducer is individually tested and paired to a transducer with the closest possible sound signature. To see how well the channels match, look at the below graph featuring an overlay of each driver's frequency response.

Built with comfort in mind, the self-adjusting leather headband and memory-foam ear pads can be worn for hours at a time without fatigue. AKG removed the bumps that come standard on their headbands, giving you a fully smooth surface, and the nearly 10-foot cable is detachable and can be easily replaced if the need arises.
