I'm curious if AKG change the inside cables on the 702 vs 701?
Recable a new mini XLR cable, how much it will change the sound, and in what way?

Yesterday I had a longer sessions and compare K701 with K702.
After repeated changeover I cannot say there is a hearble difference between. If I mean I hear a difference after changeover it was not decided detecable 
IMHO - Very little differences are hard to detect, the little time to change between suffices to forgot the very little details - the human brain have a bad audio memory. This varies from day to day too.
I will compare them with other music soon ....

Also, they're clueless since 50% use DT 770 for work.

BAM! Sad but true! (but a funny post!)

Seems like buy.com have them at great price now.
Akg K702 Reference Class Open-Back Headphones - K702 - Buy.com
I managed to snatch mine for $336 shortly after the release and thought it was a great deal.

looks like it's from a 3rd party seller and not buy.com itself.

IMO the K702s look nicer and the detachable cord is a welcome touch...
I wouldn't expect there to be any sonic difference between the K701 and the K702, since the K702 is just the professional version of the K701 and not a replacement for the K701...

Thanks for the impressions FritzS. I was planing to get K701 as a complement to my D2000 and after seeing K702 i had some doubts about sq difference. After reading this thread i realized that there's no need to spend extra on K702 since i like K701 design more, they're cheap in Europe and K702 aren't and yes, they come with the (IMO rather cool) stand  . Anyway, since you got both i can only say congratulations and enjoy them.

k702+zu mobius look very professional. I thought they would be "midnight" blue but in person I think it's more of a "shadow" blue. It's like a really dull black. No more toilet white! Were the k701s designed to be used in the bathroom while doing your business?
But seriously chrome/white/grey=bad. I do think the brown leather is nice though.

I am selling my GS1K to finance the K702 with SAA Equinox... Hoping it is a right choice to be made...

Well you're moving away from Grado, so it's a good start.
