What's up with using single entry cabling? Everywhere on the forum, most people cite that as an inferior design as compared to dual entry types.

Looks sexy though....

These do look fancy. Nice to see the 240 keeping its appearances.

I was hoping a K1000 Mk2

No, these headphone are revamp of pre-existing model. The KXX2HD models are the adaption of the already existing KXX0/1 to the home market. It seems that AKG is differentiating pro and home versions of the same headphone, similar to Beyerdynamic.

Yep. I wonder how much of a price difference there will be. I've been lookin at a set of K271's with velor pads. The wife is getting tired of the leakage from the 701's

I really like the look of the red K701s I saw on a japanese site.
