Hello everyone,
Just received the Amirons today and was going through my music library with them. SQ wise they are perfect. They are my endgame and this is after i went through (with both testing and purchasing) LCD2C, HD700, MDR-Z7, iSIne20 and a few good others. Now, since the only reseller of Beyer products in my country did not have the Amirons, i had to order them from abroad (insanely fast shipping so it didn't actually mattered). I won't go into trying to describe the sound, soundstage, separation, etc. This is subjective and not the point of this post.
I wanted to ask other owners of the Amiron: what is your part number? Mine seems to be a pretty low one: 04215. Since this is mid-2018, i take it they've sold way more than 4000 pieces. Why i'm asking this is that i've noticed a few things when unboxing: there was dirt?(some small lint from clothes, i think) inside the box and on the earpads; the original box it came in was pretty shaken up (with bent corners and a few scratches), without a seal and to make things even more hard for me, the two earpads are not identical. The left one is more wide but shallower in depth than the right one (which leads to my left ear slightly touching the inside cloth protecting the drive).
Now, i may be paranoid and since these are hand made in Germany maybe that's the reason for some dust, debris and lint being present within. This is easy to live with. But the difference in earpads' size and depth, the rather early production number and the way the package looked has made me think this was not new but rather some B-Stock or something (maybe a return or some exposed item? since it was rather early produced).
I've paid full price for them and really love them. Like even if the reseller admits to this and it turns out that all has been a mistake, i will still get a pair. But that's why i'm asking you guys for your part number and if you can help me by checking the symmetry between the ear pads, i would kindly appreciate it.
Thank you!
