My first question: are they lighter than the first iteration? Answer: nope - still 386.2g. Which doesn't read like a lot, but I certainly notice it after an amount of time.

I think the weight is by design. I once read a story consumers associate more heavy headphones with quality and therefore will pay a higher price. For example see https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/beats-by-dre-head...

Had you linked to the original source, you’d know that the headphones were counterfeits.
