Hmmm...to a casual observer that likes AKG and Beyer, it seems like you both have a 'slight' leaning toward your preferred cans -- to be expected.
Anyway, FWIW, my Q701's (made in China) have no quality issues and I'd rank them as one of my top headphones on a price/performance basis. I think the quality concerns might be due to the K7XX issues (rattle).
Yes, I have a preference, as most people but I at least bothered to explain myself instead of saying go with akg, beyers are trash etc. I have seen many people prefer the dt880 that can write a proper comparison or at the very least a constructive explanation of why the dt880 is superior. Not saying the q701 is the best headphone for everybody.
Personally never owned an austrian akg myself unless you include the k601 which is so old. Never had an issue with the QC in my experience but there could possibly be issues with some k7xx. My experience with beyers german QC on the dt1770 (which I very much like) has been mediocre. I have posted in the dt1770 thread
