Mechanically K701 and K601 are nearly the same (exept color) - the only but the key factor are the different capsule!

the only difference between the 601 and the 501 graphs are the low bass. it drops off badly in the 501.

IMO the K501 is one of the best cans ever made! But obsolete A more knowing guy tells me - the K501 are more damped than the other models, the K501 are "piano", with few efficiency - compared to K601 and K701. I am snoopy about the K702 set-up, I hope it's nearer to the K501. I hope I can get a sample for test next time if the first are available

K-501 is a very well balanced headphone when amped correctly.... graphs my ass. leading to the question if it is so well known that a ruler flat response in an electro-acoustic transducer sounds BAD more often than not and if it is known we find a certain profile in both speaker and headphones closer to actual music why then the misconception that we want or need flat response or the product is no good ? Enough work has been done to prove that we do not "hear" as an electronic device "measures" yet time and again that is the very benchmark (pun intended) used to evaluate gear which if you actually think on will give you pretty specs and likely just as equally or worse,an order of magnetude more of crap sound specs whores can read their manuals while they listen with facial winces so they can feel better about how shitty their expensive purchase actually sounds while others,and I include myself in this group,can decide what sounds good the "old fashioned" way-by actually listening with music Rickeraptor Ex-Supremus Rex out au·di·o (ôd-),adj. 1. Of or relating to humanly audible sound. note the absence of "as measured with eletronic equipment"

^ obsolete? Anything that sounds so good can not be obsolete. I want to say: AKG don't produce them not anymore
