Default Don't throw away that 701 just yet

I've a pair of Sextett Cardans from 1975 and 501s from ~ 1998. They both appear to be collectors items now [tho' I'll refrain from taking them to Antiques Roadshow]. So if you want to get a pair of 701s before the same thing happens to them I suggest you get them now.

I would bet that we will see only cosmetic changes. A new more comfortable headband would be nice.

Great news for bargain-hunters! You can already find second-hand K701s for around $200.

I believe a color change is most likely.

Incompetence leads to nowhere.

I love it when something nice, white and simple comes out, and then people label it as "iPod stylistics" or "Apple Fanboyism"...
Then what would you call the people who likes to buy brown colour stuff? ZUNE lover? but wait... no one really makes brown colour stuff...
