Ja, definitiv. Ich hab mich schon beim dritten gefragt, was ich mir bei vielen Teilen vom ersten gedacht habe. Ganz anderer Mensch...

Habe die gegenteilige Erfahrung gemacht. Hätte gesagt, selbst das dritte war schon ganz anders als das erste.

Have been using it constantly for years now and haven't noticed anything. But I'm not using it for large files a lot, so maybe it's that?

Ouch...

I went for Beyerdynamic for this year's Black Friday. Hope they're as good as people say...

That'd be on my list as well!
