How are these for vocals and speed/pace?

Excellent accuracy and detail on vocals.

How's the PRaT vs. something like the HD25 or M-80?

I have a couple of Andy Pratt albums so I'll give them a listen and get back later.

I believe that you should be able to order a set through one of the European vendors more cheaply than through the US. I checked one place out in England, and they do offer international shipping. I'm not sure of the price at that shop, but from what I'd read in earlier p/reviews, they should be £ 299. I think I've even seen them selling for around that price in ads from German vendors too.
 
I think maybe your local settings in your PC are causing the issue. As far as I know, Crutchfield is selling them for $399 USD, and maybe your browser is just showing that number with £ as the "local unit" without doing a conversion for you...? If that's not the case, I'd check into buying from England, Germany or one of your neighboring countries who have an authorized PSB dealer. There's one in the Netherlands (just a warehouse maybe...?) that doesn't look too far a drive if you can manage that. (Mind you I'm from Canada, so that is a short drive in small countries by comparison

)
 
Hope that helps,
 
Cheers

Any news on the cracking issue fix? Do we know when they will be sending out the updated versions?

Snagged this from PSB's Facebook page:
"...To the best of our knowledge, no more than a limited number of consumers have came forward with these cracking issues, and our engineering and development team have confirmed that this is an isolated issue within a small number of M4U 2 headphones. I wouldn't be concerned with the build quality of these headphones James, and we are urging all of our M4U 2 users to contact your local authorized PSB dealer immediately if stress cracks are detected to arrange to exchange them."

Have you had any issues with it, DNB4Guy?

Then why are they redesigning the headband plastic piece?
 
Who wrote that anyway, Dalton McGuinty?

Nope. Though I've not had to "stretch" them in any way when putting them on so maybe mine haven't suffered any stress at all. They go from my head to desk and back, though my cat does like to sleep on them...
 
Aside from a couple paw prints from me and my cat, they look "new".
 
I use them daily, and if I happen upon a problem I'll let ya know. So far, they're solid.

Someone who signs his/her posts as SW. It's about the 5th post down on the page I linked above.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

I remember someone saying that they were replacing the headband plastic with a softer, more malleable plastic to fix the cracking - is that true?

 

[PolkManiac]

I finally got these burned in and theses are a truly fantastic sounding headphone. I can't add much to what's already been said, but put me down as a very satisfied customer. .

How would you compare these to others you own?  I agree with your assessment and was surprised at how lukewarm Tyll was regarding the M4U2.

If they release the version without NC I will definitely concider picking up one.
