Very nice review. I definitely agree with most of it.

I agree with most of it except the more intimate vocals part. Maybe male vocals? Female vocals seem much more distant, which is what ruins it for me. I actually find this headphone TOO DARK. It's darker than the HD-650 I have. I tried for weeks to like it but I can't. Just based on preferences only.
I can't really tell any difference in sub bass between the Q701 and Anniversary.
