Hm... I was just about to go ahead and buy those K701's to replace my current headphones which are falling apart, when I found this page:
http://www.onheadphones.com/product-reviews/akg-701-headphones.html
The reviews of these headphones all say they're great. And this page is no different. But what IS different is the photos of the headphones.
Without a professional photographer lighting them just right, these don't look stylish at all. :-(
On the official page they're shown against a black background and all lit cool:
http://www.akg.com/personal/cproducts/powerslave,view,gallery,pcategory,3,id,911,nodeid,11,_language,EN.html
And on the CNET page they look almost like brushed aluminum with dark gray bands that go over the top of your head:
http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/akg-k-701/4505-7877_7-31649804.html
But on that other page the white looks cheap, and the bands are a dull medium gray.
So... hmm. I think I'll pass, and save myself some money.
