New Head-Fier
Hello all!
After owning a pair by audio technica (M40X) for about two years, I decided to ant up my gear a bit.
I went to a store and tried a bunch of headphones, and I fell in love with the MSR7.
Sadly, new ones are way out of my budget, but I'm really persistent about buying a pair, so I've found two interesting offers, and I'd like some help on which ones to get...
So the first one is the gun metal edition, costs 140$ used. Owner says she got them 2 years ago, with minimal use. She still got the box, cables, bag, documents and receipt. Some photos:

Seems in really good shape.
Second offer is 70$, basically half the price.
Used for about a year, got the bag and all the cables, no box and no papers (not that I care too much about those)

as you can see, there are two pairs of pads. Owner switched the pads and didn't wear the stocks at all (something about discomfort). Which is great for me, since I loved the stock pads.
Honestly, design wise: I vouch for the gun metal. Besides, it might be just me.. but the first pair seems a lot more preserved. But I won't pay double just for the design, I'm getting these headphones just for the sound quality, and that's it.
I'm meeting both of them in about two days, and I will test both of them to see if there is anything fishy (especially the second one, 70$ is way too low in my opinion).
What do you guys think? Judging by the photos, do you notice any red flags? Something I should know about?
