I was wondering if I should spend the extra money for the AKG K701s. Is the sound different, or is one better? I would be using them mostly through the audio port on an Apple Macbook or iPod.
Thank you for the help.

I owned both and ended up with the K701s. They have a similar sound signature (althought the 701s have a small hump in the 800hz region), however, the 701s dominate in soundstage, imagining, and instrument separation. They also have a small, but significant edge in detail and resolution. Basically, the 701s are better and, if you're able to afford them, worth it.

Ok, thanks for the help.

Go for the K701s if you can swing the cash. They are very capable cans IMO.
