I have the 650's and did buy the 701's but ended up selling them.A lot of people like them, and they are very good with the exception of a tinny, metallic sound in the upper midrange that bothered me.
They made snare drums sound like toy drums.The comfort was an issue as well (on my head anyway). I got a lot of pressure from the headband right in the center.
If those 2 things don't bother you then go ahead and get them, they are much better than the K501 IMO.
(Be aware, they also require several hundred hours of break in before they fully loosen up).Many threads at Head-fi about them.
The 650's & 600's aren't perfect, but they are the best I've owned so far.
