Last, 2024 year I posted about the high rate of new defective headphones from top brands.

All prices are expensive, about $300.

I've got several headphones, all were defective:

Sony - power button quit working after one day.

JBL - headphones started pausing music, disabling ambient control, need constant reboot. App is freezing.

Sennheiser - power button quit telling power level. Battery can't fully charge.

Cambridge - headphones produced background white noise. Headband is designed flat on top instead of round, after a few minutes normal heads start feeling pain because of pressure on top.

This 2025 year it still continues.

Technics - ambient control sometimes freezes, touch control has false activation, on head sensor never works when headphones are put back on head, microphones start crackling when talking loud, talking on the phone, or coughing, sometimes white noise in background when ambient control is on.

As you can see, the Technics are the most fucked up, any part is defective. Like they were never tested before production.

This is not only me. On forums people complain to have the same defects. It's not single defective units, they are entire defective stocks from factory with massive return rates.
