Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The CR3s have a defect in the selector switch which tends to exhibit itself between one and two+ years after purchase. In my case, this was temporarily fixable by fiddling with the switch and moving it to a middle position, but it sounds like that's not a solution for others. They will not honor this as an out-of-warranty hardware defect, so if you bought these, you're sitting on a time bomb. It's a shame, because these are lovely, clear, and neutral--great for video work. Nice transparent highs. Good look, solid-seeming build. UPDATE: The selector switch finally failed for good, rendering these useless. SECOND UPDATE: After another round with customer service, they did replace these out of warranty. So far so good with the second pair.
