Question 1

Are they still made in Austria?

Accepted Answer

In March 2014 AKG informed me that *all* AKG headphones are now being designed in Austria and assembled in China. The AKG "Professional Headphones" web page identifies only the K712 and K812 as still "Made in Austria". So it appears the AKG K701s "Made in Austria" will gradually disappear as the remaining stock gets depleted.

Question 2

Are these headphones made in Austria or in China? Please confirm which one it is please?

Question 3

What are the differences between the K701s and the Q701s? Thanks!

The Q701 and K701 do not have the same frequency response curve. The Q701 is intended for AKG's consumer market. It is found on AKG's "Lifestyle" web site. It's frequency response is not flat and neutral. Rather, it has a +5dB boost between 50Hz and 400Hz, a -4dB dip between 3kHz and 5 kHz, and a +3db boost between 6kHz and 8kHz (the "smile" frequency curve typical of consumer grade headphones). These would give a pleasing consumer listening experience, but would not be good for professional studio monitoring/mixing/mastering.The K701/K702 is aimed at AKG's studio market. It is found on AKG's "Professional Audio Solutions" web site, which states: "The K702's are reference, open, over-ear studio headphones for precision listening, mixing and mastering". The K701/K702, are flat and neutral analytical reference headphones with a frequency response of  30Hz-10kHz +/- 3dB. The full audio bandwith is 10Hz to 39.8kHz. Their purpose is to give musicians, producers and audio engineers the tool they need for the monitoring/mixing/mastering accuracy necessary to create the highest quality artistic decisions about the musical performance. They are also excellent for the discerning listener interested in hearing music as it actually sounded when created in the studio or concert hall.

Question 4

I just want to listen from my iPhone, is this possible?

Accepted Answer

I use them with a late 2016 6s and they sound just fine, but they will not be as loud as the apple headphones that came with the phone. Note that the cable is a whopping 9ft/3m.
