I had planned on getting the Q701 at some point, but I couldn't pass on the K7XX drop. I bought one of the first batch of 2000 to replace my AD700. I really like the AD700's soundstage and precision positioning, but at times they are a bit fatiguing due to the shrill highs. They also lacked some immersion factor. I'm hoping the K7XX gives me close to AD700 soundstage and precision, while adding some immersion and fun factor.
I may at some point buy the Q701 ear pads to try on the K7XX, with the intent of improving the competitive advantage. I'll have to compare the K7XX with the AD700 to see if it's worth it. How much are the official Q701 ear pads? Is it easy to get them direct from AKG?
Since you are getting the K7XX and I missed the drop then we can both compare against the ad700s.
I will be getting the Q701's instead
Some have actually said to replace the Q701 earpads with the annie earpads.
I have just received a quote from akg/harmon usa for them.
They are probably the same earpads that are already on the K7XX but here is the info regardless.
