You already own austrian k701's? Then what's the problem here? If not, just get an austrian one. They show up every now and again on used markets.

The problem is I left it in my hometown and couldn't get it soon.😢

I'm afraid nothing is close to the K701 outside of other AKG models. The K612 Pro is really good, though. The K712 is also really good and I love it but it sounds nothing like the rest of the K7 or K6 line.

What aspects of the K701's sound did you like that the Q701 and K702 couldn't replicate? People will be able to give better recommendations knowing what you are looking for.

I would say K701 is more airy and prominent in the string vibration of electric guitars or pianos. Extremely satisfied by the guitar solo presented by K701.

What questions are considered purchase advice?
-

Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. "should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?").
Why does this rule even exist?

In short, this is a large subreddit with a high volume. We want to help, but it's important to keep things organized to keep the sub fun. Thanks for your understanding.

>Is there any alternative to AKG 701 with good build quality?
The HD 560S might interest you. Despite feeling somewhat cheap in the hands, they are surprisingly durable, and offer better bass extension than the K701/K702.
