Doesn't anyone else find this odd? Not only that but the K701 is such a successful headphone for them and has only been on the market a relatively short time.
Not to knock headsonic, but Australians almost ALWAYS find out last.
Why is there no other announcement or news from other dealers or AKG themselves? AKG announced some model updates earlier this year, why wouldn't they have announced it then too?
These are all good and relevant points.

I agree, the question was a bit 'loose' and needed pinpoint clarification. Company representatives almost always play word games. As you rightfully stated, 'the near future' could mean next week.
