Jeez at this point I'm thinking about buying the hm5 and reselling it without the extra ear pads.
AKG is looking into this model and some of the QC issues. Many of the initial production runs had crinkling and balance issues. Most of that seems to be better as it's been a while since I had one come back with issues.
Just got done listening to these at a library and its amazing how much better they sound in a quite place rather than a noisier place like a cafe. Even though the comfort has improved, isolation is still bad with the stock pads. Someone needs to find out pads besides the HM5s that work with these!
