All I can tell you is mine has almost exactly the same thing, in almost exactly the same spot. I can't get a picture because any flash washes it out, but to me this suggests an artifact of the manufacturing process. Anyway, it doesn't bother me unduly and I'm done too.

I'm just not sure how you think they should invisibly join together the ends of the, say, 1mm thick mesh they are wrapping around to form the ear cups? Magic?

Well, you've convinced me. Where do we sign up for the class-action lawsuit? Seriously, this is akin to complaining about a 1mm body-panel gap on your new Ferrari. If it truly ruins your pride of ownership, send it back. Otherwise, since it doesn't impact performance in the slightest, why not get out there and put a smile on your face?

Not sure why I waited so long to give this a try with the 800s, but... Roxy Music -- Avalon Oh yeahhhh.

Like women.

Welcome single-issue voters.

Oh, I wouldn't run any actual programs, just benchmarks.

Frank Black -- Frank Black Francis

Screw that. Once I go fully 64-bit, I'm installing 16 terabytes of RAM just because I can.

Ike & Sam's Original Sweet & Salty Kettlecorn. So good. Must. Stop. Eating.

Dickwads. Though I will say their coverage is great out here in my part of the Boston 'burbs. Still, can't wait for their exclusive to expire -- if only to put some competitive pressure on plan pricing.

You don't fuck around at the entry level, do you?

David Sylvian & Holger Czukay -- Plight & Premonition

Morrissey -- Your Arsenal

Yeah, it's a seam where the mesh is presumably joined after it is wrapped/shaped. Mine have the same feature, albeit in a slightly different location on the ear cup. They also occasionally clink and I don't give a fuck. Surely we have now entered the realm of the microscopically anal?

Tech lackey, my magic box has ceased to make productivity. See to it at once.

St. Vincent -- Marry Me Another HC-acquired taste.

Hey! Beefster! How did the move go? How's the culture shock so far, eh?

That's why I spent so much time hogging your rig at CanJam. I just hadda be sure!

Tell him to just buy the Oppo and spend the rest on drugs.

See?

New feature. JazzBlock. Long overdue.

Rickie Lee Jones -- Flying Cowboys

Al's crappy sources were probably holding it back.
