And switching between the 601 and 701, I find that the treble is "sharper" and gains a more forward presentation as a result in the 701s, in agreement with your guess. Hope that helps

Where did you find replacement K *01 pads? The pads on my 501s are bent out of shape after falling asleep in them.

I tried contacting a guy named Frank about some pads after reading a post about someone obtaining a replacement pair through him. No response yet though.

For those saying 'Oh, I have K701s and they sound good', the K601 is a completely different headphone.

I would try the 880's with a warmer source or amp before giving up.
