AKG K702 vs AKG K701

Does anyone know what the difference in these two headphone models is? Are the K702's an upgraded version of the K701?

Thanks for any help!

In addition to the differences listed above, the earpads are different, and slightly change the position relative to my ears. The 702's sound better to me, period. Headband is different as well- more comfortable on the 702.

I bought the Double Helix Cables Nucleotide for my 702's and like it a lot. Whatever you do, make sure you run the 702's in for many hours before you pass judgement. Takes a while for the sizzle to die, bass to bloom, and midrange detail to come forward, but it will and you'll notice the changes as they come. Enjoy!
