hi.
I haven't found a single store (including Takstar audio store) that mentions (in their specifications) 26 ohms and 98 db.
otherwise,does the fact that the cable is 1.6m long prove that it's a v2? (because it's easy to put a cable of this length
since the cable is removable).

I've seen a shop (99%-rated store) that lists it at 1.6m and sells it for 65€. without box (shipping included).
Risky in your opinion? And more generally, is there any chance of finding an old version in 2023?

Unfortunately, most stores (even TakstarAudio) have a mixed description - part v2 (e.g. 1.6m cable), part v1 (32Ω and 96dB).
You would only see the correct specifications in the booklet that you will receive with the package :jecklinsmile:

That's why it's best to stick with the only store that never fake-shipped or shipped a bad version - TakstarAudio.

thanks just bought them. I was actually looking at the qc45s but it looks like they dont sound as great when they are used in passive mode. It appears that it’s more than noise cancelling, so there must be some sort of DSP system. I already have AirPod pros for flights and cutting the lawn anyways, so a good closed back that is passive is ideal.

Yeah, most wireless headphones with ANC use DSP to tune the sound.
They need to use the DSP to adjust the sound for noise cancellation/transparency all the time, so tuning the headphones the old fashioned way doesn't make sense for them.

That’s disappointing, I did not want to have to rely on having to charge something else. It looks like the frequency response on the qc45s are far different when they are turned off.
