Hai,

I've been experiencing some weird issue with my brand new cans.
Whenever there pressure on the headband the right side stops working.
Is this normal?
Because I only have a 14 day RMA date and if this isn't normal I'll have to send em back within 3 days from now.

I know the headband is very thin so the wireing must be sensitive but it seems like an odd thing =/

I don't have those headphones, but I'd imagine that some pressure on the headband shouldn't cause the sound to cut out. Maybe someone with those cans will chime in with their experiences.

To specify it a wee better, it cuts off when there's pressure on the leather on the headband, not the metal.
I can see this becoming a problem further down the line because I keep my headphones hanging on my microphone stand :/
So I'd really like some advice here if I should RMA them or not.

Just tried applying pressure on mine in any way... The sound doesn't cut. Definitely something faulty. You should request for a new one.
