I am hearing more and more complaints about manufacturing quality issues with X2 here and on other forums as well. This is sad - X2 is such a great headphone when you get a "good one." I know that the stories of manufacturing issues would make me very hesitant about getting X2 if I didn't have one already. People on another forum also report problems with sound quality differences between different X2 samples and say that the manufacturing variations seem to have gotten worse recently, which really concerns me. I remember the story of Hifiman RE0. It was a very popular, great sounding IEM that many people loved, until the manufacturing quality went down and most RE0s started having build quality issues... Then Hifiman discontinued it. Pretty sad. I hope X2 won't have a similar fate.
