I hope I don't have to hold my breath too much longer. At this rate, the K702 will come out at Christmas...2009.

Any news? Rumors? Anything?

Whether or not this rumor holds any water owners of the K701s should not rush to sell their old headphones for the newer model. If the (rumored) k702s really do come out, they will more than likely be an evolutionary improvement over the K701s not a radical step ahead. If they were that different, AKG would have given them a different desgination.

So whether or not that justifies selling and buying anew is, of course, up to the individual.

Just my (adjusted for inflation) $2.

...well, except a bunch of people on head-fi of course.
