Well just over today, the creaks of these headphones have been getting much more noticeable. I constantly keep getting a very noticeable tick sound from the left side whenever I tilt my head just slightly to the left. It is really hard to avoid doing this occasionally! Then, the other side keeps making different sounds. There is noting wrong with the drivers. They still sound fantastic. But it is starting to be irritating now. As when I listen to music quietly, these annoying creaking/popping/ticking sounds are noticeable. Even when I have it louder and you just move around a little, I have noticed it several times. It is really putting me off. Is it just to do with what they are made from? They didn't do this when I first got them at all. I like to listen to music and hear every detail, but when I try to listen to the detail of the sound, you can't help but hear all these other annoying sounds and it drives me mad! I've contacted AKG and I hope they will allow me to return them for them to inspect and sort out. Or, hopefully they will replace them.
I do have very sensitive ears but If nobody else notices any obvious sounds when you move your head slightly with these, then hopefully it will just be an issue with mine. If they are all like this, then that is poor from AKG. You can't appreciate such incredible sound if the frame creaks and pops all the time.
