K-701 : Broken after 2 weeks

10 years ago

I received these headphones 2 weeks ago. Yesterday the lefthand side earpiece started cutting out. Tonight, the sound is gone from the left side. It appears to be a connection issue, because when i move the cable the sound comes back for a short moment.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this product. I read and watched quite a few reviews of these headphones. I also thought these were manufactured in Austria. They're manufactured in China.

However, while they were working the sound was good. I am disappointed as i'm currently in the middle of mixing recorded tracks.

Calling these high end phones is pushing it a bit. At ?225.00 for headphones, i would expect better build quality.
