I also had the AKG K701 last month ago just for testing when comparing them my Sennheiser HD 560 Ovation I. The AKG K701 are really beautiful headphones with a nice wearing comfort, good material quality and also stressfree sounding. So it was very hard for me to take out the winner in this race.
The K 701 had the better bass (more defined, deep and dry), sound was overall very neutral -studio like- with reserved highs. The soundstage was wide, but not as wide as the HD 560 Ovation.
So If you sell your HD 560 in good condition youll get also about 150-200€ and then its only a question of personal taste which one you prefer.
The AKG K701 is not Austrian Made anymore. Since last year they were manufactured in China. So you will find a sticker on them (Made in P.R.C) and not the old "Made in Austria" Printing. That was a point I cant accept so that I kept my good old Sennheiser.
