anyone else have an issue with build quality on these things?
my 2ks just snapped at the swivel joint on the left side where it says "L" in blue
and now that it's broke i can see that it's just a thin piece of plastic holding these things together. after seeing that it looks like that little piece of plastic was definitely going to snap eventually.
I do not have a big head (i don't have to extend the adjustment at all it's on the lowest setting) and i was always very careful and never stretched them that far apart. Only have HM5s that aren't that thick. I've seen some of you in this thread have super thick pads and so have to stretch them I recommend thinner pads and hope this doesn't happen to you
It's so hard to find a pair of headphones with decent build quality and these are no different
there ends the life of the 2ks
I don't exactly have a lot of money. I saved up for quite a few months to be able to get these and the $300 amp/dac I bought to go with them. The only other headphones I have are a $5 pair of earbuds. So here I go, plugging a $5 pair of earbuds into a $300 amp...smh
All i can say is be careful and I DEFINITELY won't be replacing these with another pair
you can see in the pics below what i mean the top shows where it broke and the second is the piece that came off
Sorry if it sounds like I'm venting I just really enjoyed this thread cuz it was full of so much awesome info but i wanted to come here to warn you
I took another pic showing the lil piece in my hand cuz the zoomed in pic makes it look big but here below you can see how small it is. Sorry I tried over and over but my darn phone wouldn't focus. That little piece of plastic is all that was holding that joint together o.O
