There is an inherent design fault with these top end headphones.
Whilst the sound quality is good the plastic clips that hold the arms together have a life-span of around 3 months.
This combined with Nokia's limited 6 month warranty (from date of purchase) means you'll soon be left high and dry. I was advised by a well meaning Nokia 'Care' rep to try cable-ties or glue!!!
Not a satisfactory situation or solution.
If you are planning on spending the best part of $400 on headphone you need to seriously consider the warranty conditions.
Sennheiser give their products a 24 months warranty as standard!!!
