I really do hope the K702 will sound better and maybe be a bit more comfortable.
That's of course just my opinion so no need jumping about it
Many people in Europe think that same way and even consider the 601 as still the better of the two, you are not alone on that, personally to me the only really thing that diferenciate it from the rest is the white toilet color...period...another soft sounding AKG heapdhone of the bunch....yeak!!!
Of course that is just my personal opinion, and for the ones who like it, please keep on enjoying it!!!

Neutrality, accuracy? OK, just ask yourself first: Do you certainly know how the recording is supposed to sound? Sorry, but for me euphony is all about!!! Please do yourself a favor, stop listening your gear, and enjoy the music instead!!!

Once the stock of remaining K-701s dries up, the consensus will be that the K-701 sounds better than the K-702.

Interesting if these 702's bring some different freq. response with respect to the 701. Otherwise it will just probably comfort/aesthetics-related changes.
