Interesting. Hmm... So, modded, it does not sound necessarily better. On the warmth scale, where would you guys place them, then? In doing so, let's also add the HD600, HD650 and DT880 in the mix as reference points but keep in mind that I am not considering any of those.
My guess is you would say that on a scale of warmth, it would be (warmest to brightest): HD650, HD600, K712, Q701 (modded), Anniversary edition, Q701, K70x, DT880.
Going from unmodded to modded, what advantages does the Q701 gain that the K712 also has besides impact and warmth? Treble extension and airiness? Midrange transparency and neutrality? Soundstaging and imaging?
