I just received my Q5s. First user in my country , from local dealer.
Currently charging. But my first visual/mechanical impressions:
Front brushed plate of body has razor sharp edges and corners on both left and right sides! It may be even dangerous because when changing volume your finger may cut on it. Or tear your pocket or whatever. This is really big fail in design. It does not feel good in my hand ,like I would hold knife edge, as opposite to Q1mkII which is really very nice in hand and I love to hold it. I am glad leather case is on the way to me.
During today I will check SE on AKG K701, balanced on my IEM KZ ZS7 and line out on my "better than average" audio system. I will compare it with Q1mkII.
You would not like AK stuff then More right angles than a Picasso. I have carried it in my pocket and handled it without incident though.
