The German translation is hilarious. And by the sound of their comments on this thread at head-fi, some of them may be reading equally strange translations.
Emailing a manufacturer to ask about future plans and products is like asking them for free money. They would simply answer "No" while laughing at you in the background. For one most of the people who answer emails have no idea whats happening under the curtains. Another reason would be that if everyone know of a new product, the current sales for their current product out would dry up. Like someone said earlier, will just have to wait and see.

My browser warned me that two other K702 links, from China, "might harm your computer." Meanwhile, the AKG message board Headphones shows a spike of interest.
I have been told there will be a new K701 (read K702) soon, it will be exactly the same, but for professional use with detachable cables and a black/blue colour. The K701 will still be a valid product for the consumer market.
Hope this answers a few questions. So much for closeout K701s. Dealers jumping the gun. And there will always be dealers who discount... there's a lot of noise out there so believe what you want to. Time will tell.
So modding the cables will be as easy as switching Sennheiser HD6xx cables...

that's from China, and it's in mandarin!
Useless thread. This thread was their "reliable source".
Another "guy" on AKG forums claims he knows:
yo,
not that it's a big deal; the 702 isn't replacing the 701; rather the 701 MKII is replacing it. the 702 is in the HD line of headphones, although it's nearly exactly the same as the 701S and the 701 MKII. The only thing that's changing here is the color (MKII is a deep blue color). The only difference - rather than the color - between the three is that the 702 HD has a wired design, no detachable cord.

Interesting... never knew Asian languages were considered cyrillic.
