Yeah I thought they were K701's to with a green recable. I kinda hope they are just K701's rebranded as I just a bought a new pair

Don't want to dip in the funds again!
Maybe if it is just a rebrand, they'll donate some of the money to Haiti at least

musta got the idea from Dr Dre.

reckon he took them off after the picture was taken, he's bald like me and the pain is unreliable after a few minutes with those bumps on the headband, listening to my bumpy 702's, had a look in the mirror tonight after approx. 45 mins of listening, looked like an alien with strange designs imprinted on my head. when will these people learn?

Just a man at work! he need the K-701 for the mix.

Naming lines of headphones after celebs. nice marketing. Dr. Dre cans, anyone?

Wrong!

They're the "Quincy Approved 701s", the "QA-701s" or to make it sound more cool, the "QA-01" or just the "QA1" or...

Now, we can all say, "How dissapointing" together.

This is beyond lame. Marketing for the mindless. AKG get your act together.

The green cable looks like the Mogami colors.

 

[nullstring]

well, whatever works.

I don't care if they use marketing ploys as long as their headphones are actually good.

 

[dcpoor]

has there been word of any improvements/changes for this model?
or is everyone just crying so far because they look like k701's?

 

[baka1969]

Maybe if they sell some of these they'll actually get their butts in gear and announce a real flagship offering?

How's Q's hearing after all these yrs/projects?
I don't want anything that was spec'd/approved by Mr. Joneses current auditory abilities.

Considering Mr. Jones' age, these phones are rolled off at 7kHz?

AKG responded on Twitter stating the partnership with Mr. Quincy was in regard to aesthetics only. The headphones are otherwise K701. Yet another re-brand from AKG. 4 years on this model (K701/K702/Q701) with no end in sight.
