Hi, I received mine at the beginning of January. I also bought a 3-meter aftermarket cable (Van Damme) for it before the K7XX arrived at my place. Unfortunately, I noticed the rattle on the left side. Not really disturbing at low/middle volume, but it's a "no go" for me. I joined the drop because I was curious about the product and because I didn't own a AKG before. I am ready to sell it for 50% of its Massdrop-price (shipping not incl.) if someone is interested. I just don't know if I am allowed to do it through this thread…?! I am really disappointed having received an item that doesn't fit the description and the quality that can be awaited for a product being manufactured from one of the most acclaimed headphones company. It was my first "drop" and also was my last… sorry AKG & Massdrop, but you've failed a bit here IMHO…

JfarYou want to try fix it first? if so check the side that is rattling and see if you can see the wire like this one

(thanks @shadowarrior for the pic)
If so you can give it a gentle poke with a qtip at point A and hopefully that will fix the rattle.

tommydadogWhen poking at point A are you trying to push the copper wire back underneath the diaphragm? As far as I can tell I don't hear a rattle - only a purring sound on a 20-70 Hz sweep sine tone test at 20 Hz, but 3 out of the 4 wires stick out like the one in the photo.

AnonymIf it doesn't rattle then don't go looking for problems, it might rattle if you drive them hard enough to the point the diaphragm hits the wire making the rattling sound. But yes that's the reason for poking it, some members have tried it as it works or at least reduces the amount of rattling to lower frequencies. I'm only telling people to do this as its a pretty simple fix and saves the members and MD/AKG having to deal with the whole RMA shit that no one likes.
