FairingreyI'd totally hate if it turns out that the new edition has a nice color scheme. Though, at the same time, I guess you can't particularly go wrong with plain black.

MadotsukiPff, well if it makes you feel any better the winning color schemes as of right now are red rods/stitching/inner rings and blue rods/stitching/inner rings.
I voted for blue as my number one choice because I really liked the blue color of the original K702 annies, and hope AKG may be fine choosing that same color. It also comes with the potential gimmick of confusing all your headphone friends when they might see your K7XX's and go "Are those the annies?" The only things that would set it apart are the colored rods/stitching, and the font lettering on the inner cup, which I much prefer over the original annies (small details, yes I know).
Red isn't bad either though. My second choice would have been perhaps a light pink or white, but I do understand why the former wouldn't be too popular, and the latter is kind of an already-too-common minimalist color scheme (yay Apple).
But it's as you say -- nothing wrong with just plain black. These still look just as sexy as ever. I would not be upset at all -- especially since it gives us some variety.

The poll a few weeks ago kind of suggests to me otherwise that the next rendition of the K7XX's will have the colored rails and inner rings that would finally make the black edition 'limited', but I'm not really all too sure. It is kind of a lingering thought in my mind though.
