Could this fix some users complaints about bass? I wonder which sounds more neutral.
Yet, the K701 is still priced $100+ under the Q701. But this is still interesting.
Later K701s are supposedly bassier, so if this is between an early K and a Q, then that would make sense to me. The graphs are pretty close, though.
... the more I compare headphones and check the graphs at headroom I get the feeling that they just alter their graphs to sell newer iterations of the same can.
(I don't wanna say they're getting paid for doing this or anything...)
Plus if you measure the same phone twice you won't get the same results, they differ a bit (positioning of the cans/.etc).
This said no can of the same series is identical (although 99.x% similarity) which produces slightly variations while testing.
There has been gossiping about different drivers/damping/interior of the K70X/Q701 but that's it.
It would surprise me if there was any official note from AKG, hell there aren't even any Mails floating around the net stating this.
