You can't get Q701s anymore.. and K712 which was supposed to be an upgrade sounds like shit, so I keep repairing mine and postponing switching to the backup pair I managed to snag as new old stock..
I highly doubt that the K712 sounds like shit compared to the Q701
Rtings even consider the K712 the slightly better headphone in the comparison tool.
Now obviously you don't have to agree with them, and to be fair sound signature preference is highly individual.
However, based on Rtings and other reviews, the K712 sounds excellent for the vast majority of people.
I have bought K712 before the plague and ended up returning them. There was a little more bass than Q701, which was nice, but he amazing treble of Q701 was gone. I found the "upgrade" sounding boring and generic.
To clarify: I have other headphones: HD660S, M1060C and each of them have something to offer as far as listening experience goes, just like Q701. K712 didn't add anything new, nor was it an acceptable Q701 replacement.
That's a fair take, doesn't make them sound like shit though (:
I've been keeping an eye on Ebay and managed to snag a spare pair for $50 a few years ago. Nowadays they seem to go for $150+ easily.
