Has anyone checked these claims of "hand picked" drivers?

And how would you go about checking that claim? Just like "handmade in Austria," we take their word for it.
Just got mine from RazorDog and have been playing with it the last couple of hours. I'm going to wait until I have about 200 hours of burn-in before finalizing a review, but I have some very very initial impressions. Currently running them at the office with my E07K with a 12dB gain, which I think it just no where even close enough to drive them to their potential, but it's what I have on hand right now. Compared to my standard K702, the Annie is sounding fuller and more intimate. A little less bright as well. I was one of those people who didn't have a problem with the headband bumps, but this flat headband is just perfect so far. The ear pads also compress nicely and create a good seal. I think I would appreciate the pads more if they were just a bit deeper as the tip of my ear is touching the driver.
Very impressed so far. It will be interesting to see how it goes when I get home to AB between my standard K702 and the Annie.
Second day on these with some heavy usage and I have to say that as much as I am enjoying them, I'm really missing the sparkliness of the standard K702 or even the AD700. Does this make me a bad person?
Just received my AKG K702.65.
Now I am surprised on how much bass the k702.65 has. A very good fair amount. Not a Fidelio X1 amount, of course, but a very good punch on these

No, that's exactly how I felt. There's less airiness as well.

Is this still hard to drive like the 702 or now is easier to drive?
Hows the sound coming out from ipod, for example? still have a lot of bass?
