What to check before buying used
The diaphragm and ceramic acoustic filter of the driver remain fragile to impact and moisture: a check of the bass response and the absence of any unwanted noise is essential before purchase. The oval ear tips, specific to this model, are easily lost or worn and are costly to replace individually, hence the importance of checking that a complete set of both shapes is included with the headphones. The cable, thin and detachable at the MMCX connectors, also deserves careful inspection at the junction points, which are prone to poor contact after several years of use.
