Hi everyone,
My first post here.
I was given a pair of M4U-2's as a present a while back. I have been loving them ever since, especially on the 2 hours spent on the train where the noise cancelling is a great plus.
Unfortunately, they developed the infamous headband cracking after about two weeks. I wasn't too worried, as I thought that it was aesthetic only which I can live with (thought for AU$400 headphones is disappointing).
However, this morning when I went to put them on they fell apart in my hands. The issue is the hinge relies on the plastic cover of the headband to clamp down, and when the plastic cracks near the hinge it eventually comes apart making the headphones useless without a replacement headband.
I've brought them back to the retail outlet, who advise there is a week wait for new stock. I'm hoping I got unlucky and somehow had a pair from the old stock prior to PSB attending to the cracking issue. My serial number was 1700-203xxx.
Hopefully they do have a fix as they do sound great and I love being able to turn NC off. The shop indicated that these are the only ones they have had returned, so either everyone else has smaller head than I do, or I got a particularly bad pair.
Cheers,
LukeV
