This should help clear it up. The 818/808 have an aluminium body, which can feel 'plasticky' when you tap it. When I got my C700s, I thought the housing felt plasticky (even though it's aluminium) but I wasn't convinced it wasn't plastic till I felt how cold it was to the touch, and, um... swung them against the dishwasher to 'hear' what they sounded like
Plastic doesn't quite have the same coldness.
