I'm curious to know how the aluminium touch controls will work under certain circumstances like cold or humid weather.

 

The controls use pressure, not capacitance so can be used even with gloves.

I have also ordered but my retailer will get them 18th febuary. I´m quite sure I can't wait that long.

OK the proof is in the pudding and I will be ear testing ASAP as I appreciate sound is subjective,  personally I prefer the looks of the H8's compared to the Zik 2.0 so 1 - 0 on the 1st count.

that's clever

mine was delivered today, next monday I have my  first flight with it.

Its not coming with a proper case, just a sack, the controls do work but taking some getting used to, for example I can only switch noise canceling off using my thumb, not my pointer finger. 

Need to play with it some more ..... will report back next week how trip went ....
