My first short listening - first impressions PF - "Final Cut" / R. Waters "Amused to Death"
k271 - closer, direct, a bit more in upper bass region, less space between instruments
k701 - sovereign
But the listening was very short to give a definitive verdict - I will make them on X-mas holidys

My opinion - the k271 is ideal for controlling in sound-stage but not a ideal HiFi headphone
