Mine should be here tomorrow, pictures will follow.
Aw, sucks no one has acquired a cool #number pair yet (something like three repeating digits, or 1337, 1234, 2000, better yet 2012 or 2013 etc) that'd be pretty cool.
just got mine today too. #968
undecided if i like it better than my he-400 but the weight reduction is nice. also think female vocals sound a lot better.
They are different. Complimentary even. The HE400 has deeper bass and more dynamic treble, and superior imaging. The Annies are far more balanced, very spacious and large soundstage, and the mids trump the HE400s by a considerable margin. The treble on the Annie is smooth and more pleasing than the HE400's treble which is aggressive at times.

People need to stop tempting my interest and comparing these to the 400's.
Because it is better...any audiophile will tell you this.

With all these rave reviews I feel like getting these, but the HE400 images better than these? I find that hard to believe. From what I remember the q701 images better than the HE400's.
I will compare both later at work.
Feel pretty much the same way... I'm hoping (waiting to hear back from AKG Pro service dept.) that we can buy the new pads for our 702s. I've made my headband very comfy, but I'm pretty sure the new pads are an improvement.
