Hi I've been reading this thread from the start until this last page and been contemplating whether to get HEXV2 for my next compliment of headphones: Z1R, K701, DT880
I really like the Sony Z1R esp the dark nature of it and (imo) a very smooth sounding compared to my other headphones. Build quality of course is really one part that I'm really having concern with these, however since I'll be only using this at work, I think I could baby them enough. I've already contacted seller in my country for around msrp $1200, but now I really have a 2nd thought whether it really is worth the full msrp price with review such as headfonic one not really helping (in one of the comment asked the commenter to get these and sell all their gears - it's that good)
I want something that's a bit different with my Z1R but it has to be open back, and I don't want to lose that dark, airy and smooth sounding characteristic. From time to time, I'll put on my K701 it really could give me that open back sound to please me but couldn't past the harshness on some songs. DT880 just giving me smaller soundstage which really keep me getting back to the Z1R and K701.
Wanted a Stax L700, could get a good deal with 353x but snagged by other buyer last minute after reading this HEXV2 thread though I'm not sure I really want a Stax anymore since it's lacking in bass dept which I'm very used to with the Z1R
