Excuse me but, do you mind elaborating the bold text? I'm sort of interested.

I'd never go back to the K701s. I just keep both, the HD800 and the K701.
K701 has a partly above-head localized soundstage, which I don't like. And it's uncomfortable to wear.
My HD800 has not that bad treble issue together with my Canate.2. It just sounds wonderful.
K701 has slightly more impact in the bass department, but that's mainly because it sounds less lush compared to the HD800.
But K701 comes in general very close to the HD800 in terms of sound quality and reproduction.
Also I have to say that I own the "bass heavy" version of the K701 at the moment.
Older K701s I had did not have that much bass.
Well, I'm very very happy with the HD800 + Cantate.2, cause it offers the sound I often want to hear from classical music.
HD800 is for sure a 100% classical music can.
Other genres are done better by other cans.
