Being called the K702, I'm thinking that AKG made slight improvements, if it were big improvements, they would just call it the K801.

Too late. It was a very limited edition and they are allready sold out.
I was able to grab the last pair (serial #0).
I am still awaiting delivery.

K701's were a huge disappointment for me. They aren't very comfortable, they dont sound that good, IMO they are just another pair of headphones. I was expecting much more from the new flagship headphone of the same brand that brought us the K340's and the K1000's which I absolutely love (both). I really do hope the K702 will sound better and maybe be a bit more comfortable.

That's of course just my opinion so no need jumping about it

hmm... I personally thought that the K701 were amazing in terms of comfort, it doesnt press down on my head / clamp my ears too much... the pads were pretty nice to the touch.

Well I was interested in gettings 701s, good thing I waited. Looks like I will be trying to get a hold of a pair of 702s if I dont give in and buy the D5000s before.

The K701 has been a hugely successful seller for AKG, if this K702 thing is true, I would imagine that they'll sound exactly the same and have a slight change in the plastic moulding style. Or perhaps have a duel entry cord.

Minor facelift to match a change in available parts or a design change made to cut costs in construction while maintaining the same sound.

Senn haven't felt the need to do anything like this with the HD650 and Stax took 10 years of criticisms of the faults of the SR-007 for the Mk.2, so it will be interesting to see what particular differences in non-cosmetic terms there are for this K702.

As long as this new product is not white and has none of those ridiculous ridges on the headband, I will consider it.

I rather doubt the possibility of a dual-entry cord...

 

[NeObliviscaris]

I hope that people start selling their K701s for reallly cheap

 

[epaludo]

Can't wait to hear more news on this subject. Sounds promissing to me once i'm very satisfied with the K701 sound signature ...

 

[nalth]

A removable cord would be a nice feature, but I doubt we will see any mayor updates in this new "K702".

BTW, I absolutely love the K701 design & color..

I guess K702 will be black version of K701? Many hate toilet white.
