Here's some graphs for those that are interested:

Sure doesn't look "virtually identical" to me. I think that's the wrong wording. To me it's "somewhat similar".
To me, it's about a 10% improvement of the K702 to my ears. Fixed 3 issues I've had. Biggest was it's goofy/inaccurate soundstage.
People who dislike every single thing about the K702 still won't like the q701.
I don't know for sure since the K702's treble bothers me and it doesn't on the Q701. Maybe some weird frequency that I'm sensitive to.
How could the button NOT effect the soundstage and sound just a tiny bit?
One thing I'd like to see for sure, is if the K702 and Q701 stock cable are identical.
Maybe someone can figure out what those two Cardan pieces are on the Q701. I have no idea..
I don't think any of this is a big deal, but I'm always curious as to why this does sound so different.
Just for reference, here's the Headroom graph:
