100+ Head-Fier
Yes, I had attached the cable (and they were properly attached!) as I wanted to hear what it sounded like straight from an iPhone 6+.
I stood in front of a mirror and moved my head side to side, slowly, and the was a click sound on the left. The cable was
not moving or touching the ear cup.
I can't help but feel that there's a "reason" these have suddenly appeared on Amazon UK at this price.
The click sound would have had me return them even if they had come sealed and obviously been new. I'm just glad that I hadn't as planned ordered the PHA-3 amp last night from a different european Amazon @ circa £530.
Right now I don't think I'm going to be ordering Z7 in the very near term; perhaps leave it a while ....
Now I'm also slightly concerned about the Beyer T5p that I ordered from Amazon France! Wanted a pair of these for a long while. and
the price has always been prohibitive (as well as being a little concerned about thin cables that cannot be removed) but seeing them on Amazon France for 620 euro's made me take the plunge.
We'll see.
Have to say though, the Z7's look and feel absolutely fabulous! Such a shame that so many folks out there think the ear cups are plastic!
They looked amazing and they felt like they were built to still feel amazing in twenty years. The comfort on-head was the cherry on the cake.
Maybe I'll get a pair again at some point ...
