    AKG Q-701 different colors = different prices

    Hope is hasn't been discussed before, if so my apologies... Been interested in the Q-701s (Quincy Jones version) I've seen the black, white, and green all at different prices from the same seller. They're all the same headphone, right? Why the different pricing? BTW, I personally like the...
