BASICALLY, there are mixed opinions. I really don't see why you're not giving the K701 a chance. As you said, you take Head-Fi comments to be half of the decision making. The other half should be your own ears. Like many others have suggested, just try! The demand for the AKG K701 will be ever present, just like the demand for HD650 and DT880. You really have nothing to lose. Despite what I've heard about the K701 (good and bad), I decided to get them anyway. It's a win-win situation. If I like them, then perfect. If I don't, then I'll sell them. They can't be that bad! I guess I have a higher tolerance level than others. If I can stand SR325i for classical music, there is nothing else I can't stand. (BTW, my K701 haven't arrived yet. Should be getting them tomorrow.)
