Producer/DJ Kei Shocklee Praises Comfort And Quality Of AKG K70 Headphones During Long Studio Hours

14/03/2013

March 2013

For decades, original member of Public Enemys (inductees to the 2013 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame) production team The Bomb Squad, producer and DJ Keith Shocklee has spent countless hours in studios perfecting his own and fellow musicians sounds. With a new home studio currently being constructed, Shocklee has taken his mixing mobile whether on the road or in his living room.

Paired with his AKG K702 headphones, Shocklee receives true response from his tracks with complete comfort even after hours of wear.

From the cool factor to the comfort, K702s truly match the sound of my JBL monitors, so I can produce and mix directly from the headphones, said Shocklee. With the K702s, I can hear all of the compression from new records today and their lack of dynamics. I always knew it was there, but I never had a headphone that brought that to life.

Currently, Shocklees latest project an EP mix of hip-hop and electronic is being produced through AKGs K702 headphones. The album takes the Spectrum City sound concept Shocklee and fellow Public Enemy founder Chuck D created in a college radio station in Long Island in the 80s and revamps it, adding guest vocals and sampling from some of Shocklees original music.

The K702s are simply lighter; very light in fact. The band adjusts to my head naturally and the only thing you can ask more of a headphone set is they sound amazing. They do; its the perfect headphone. I can work for six, eight, ten hours and there is absolutely no ear fatigue, Shocklee continued.

Ive always been a fan of AKG they are the original studio headphones to me. When we first got into the business, all everyone had was AKG, according to Shocklee. K702s step up the headphone game. You can even master on them, which is incredible. They let you hear exactly whats missing.
