Headphoneus Supremus
Just lurking, a real newbie too. I waited until Amazon Prime got the X5 2nd Gen. I am spoiled by the prices, and no hassle/returns/customer service..
With that said, I have had my X5 2nd Gen for about 10 days. I have other things on this order, So, the X5ii wasn't getting all the much time. After I set it up, loaded music, and was starting to be a student of DAPs, when today, with my Senn M2 connected, I noticed, that I wasn't hearing much out the right can..Check the connection. The Senn M2 has a locked connection, so that was solid, on the X5ii, after pushing on the cable the sound came in the right can..Let go of the pressure the sound stopped in the right can.. Okay, I might have a bad cable, or heaven forbid, something went wrong with my beloved Senn M2..I switch over to my Sony MDR 1RBTMK2, same thing happening. And this just happened.. Trying to figure out how could this be when it was working well earlier..
Well, the unit is too new for me to do any investigating.. Called Amazon, and they are shipping me another unit, with a mailing label to return the defective unit.
Now, that the defective X5ii is all in the box waiting for the other unit to arrive, my mind started thinking on how this could happen. I recall carrying the X5ii with me today in MY POCKET. I am now thinking could some foreign matter get in that hole? The coax hole is covered, but the headphone jack is open. Not going to unpack it and look for it. Will just wait for the new unit in a couple days..
I said all that to say that it is possible to have some issues with these new units..
This is why I wait to buy new products, just because the early units always have problems here and there. At least Amazon will take care of it. Hopefully your new unit will be good to go.
