Thanks for replying. The CAL2 is available in my country ar 15% discount for CAL1 owners, so I was wondering if it is worth the plunge,   Thanks for your review, seeing that this is an improvement, I will most likely purchase it later this month.

I have the CAL1 but the wire broke and the cushion wear out.   In your opinion or opinion of anyone who has tried this headphone, is this a good upgrade from the orignal CAL1?   I am still hesitant in buying this headphone as it cost much more than the orignal CAL1.   Thanks
