Out of curiosity, did one of them say Made In Austria?

AKG moved production from Austria to China a while back. I believe the K702 changed both in terms of the earpads and the headband changed from having ‘bumps’ to just being a piece of leather. And the price dropped around that time, as well.

I have two K701s and two K702s. One of each is made in Austria and one in China. They’re all indistinguishable in build and sound quality. Only issue I had was the Q701 from Austria developed a short in the left channel which was easily remedied with a small Philips screwdriver & soldering pencil. Do I love the K70x sound signature or what? Lol!

Nope, I don't think you can get a brand new AKG Made in Austria anymore sadly, but even if so, both my units were made in China :)
