No, but I have owned the K701, Q701, Annie, and borrowed a K712, as well as a 612.
Considering Massdrop clearly said the 7XX is based on the Annie, and it has been mentioned SEVERAL times that the 7XX sounds the same as the Annie. That's enough to tell me that the 7XX = Annie = Q701 with Annie pads. Also having heard and knowing the 712 isn't exactly the same as a Q701 with 712 pads, also lets me know that the 7XX is not the same as the 712.
It's not hard to conclude the obvious. If there is one thing AKG is very good at, it's consistency in their drivers.
My ears are sensitive enough to hear the differences even from two of the same exact headphone as well (like once had three DT990 600ohms at the house at the same time, and they sounded slightly different from one another, enough to not like one over the other two.)
If someone who owns both the 7XX and Q701 can simply swap pads, the confirmation is there. They should sound like on another (not taking headband, clamp into account).
In any case, whether the 7XX was a 712 reskinned or not, does not matter, as the non-712s sound VERY close to it anyways, for a much cheaper price. So the 7XX will still put you very close to the SQ of the 712 even if it wasn't one itself.
