The XBA-Z5 is not made of plastic, it is 100% metal construction. PM me if you want a picture with the paint sanded off. Also you state twice that it came with only a 2X3.5mm balanced cable? But you also photographed it with the 3.5mm to MMCX, so obviously you do have the 2 cables that came from the factory?

Right my mistake. Thanks for your correction! The shell feels like plastic. I will amend. The unit is 2nd hand, so I thought that both regular unbalanced and the 2x 3.5mm balanced cable come with it as default. The MMCX is the connector on the driver end. I mean the other end that goes to the amp.

Right, two cables came. Sorry I don’t mean to be critical of your review. I’m simply trying to help you be complete! Cheers!

I really appreciate that! Thank you!

I edit the cons, I think the 'unique' 2x 3.5mm balanced cable shouldn't be considered a cons point. It is just their way to fit their own system.
