I've had this problem twice now with these amazing TMA-1s but it seems that after about a month of use, the pads of the headphones start to make a loud "crunching" noise whenever pressure is applied to them. I don't know if this is a problem found in many on-ear headphones but it has been sad that I thought it was a single instance but it is recurring. If there is a reason why this is happening (I don't think it is a problem with the pads but the chasis), then hopefully I can fix this issue. Thanks.

A very all-round headphone for me. Just the right one to take on the go or on holiday. Also as a DJ, nice noice isolation. Very durable so you don't have to wonder if it will break if you throw...

I've had mine for a couple months (around 2-3 months) and have never had this. My HD650's made a lot of plasticy creaking sounds, but never have my TMA-1's made any sound other than music.

Actually I just noticed that besides crunching, it rattles when playing deep/loud bass is playing fairly loudly. Almost as if the wires were knocking around in there. Sadly it seems this is an isolated case.
