Our editorial take on the KRK KNS 8402 Over-Ear Headphones
The KRK KNS 8402 headphones are designed for professional monitoring, featuring a closed-back, over-ear design and 40mm dynamic drivers. Their frequency response spans 5 Hz to 23 kHz, suggesting a wide sonic range for detailed listening. With a lightweight build of 247g and a detachable 2.5m straight cable, these headphones emphasize portability and ease of use in a studio environment.
Key features include swiveling earpieces and built-in controls on the cable, which may enhance user comfort and convenience during long sessions. The 36 Ohm impedance makes them relatively easy to drive from a variety of audio interfaces or devices.
Positioned as monitoring headphones, the KNS 8402 could be a consideration for users needing a reliable closed-back option for tracking or mixing tasks. The inclusion of a 1/4" TRS adapter further supports their integration into professional audio setups.
