AKG that sounds like Sennheiser, hmm, thats another no go for me.

is it only 3000 units worldwide?
man I'm dying to see some THD measurements, because the only thing holding me back is whether or not the midrange distortion and tonality was dealt with. An improvement in bass presence and tightness, as they allude on the updated page, is icing on the cake.
In fact, if this limited pair fixed just those two things (distortion and slightly less than neutral bass), it could rival the HE400/500 easily.
I'd pick one up for ~$500, no problem!
Myself. There's bass distortion too. (high frequencies are clearer than HD650, though)
Granted, it may lessen over time ("burn-in" or material loosening), but I didn't have access to a well-used pair.
Regardless, I'm hoping that the hand-picked nature and re-tuning of the driver eliminates this.
Word from the mothership is that The K702 is limited to 3,000 pcs.
