Yes, it's a manufacturing defect. You should get a replacement.I just wonder if this defect on the cable jack is acceptable or should I claim for a reparation or replacement of the cable;
No big deal on the one hand, on the other hand, I find it quite low quality for a 899€ pair of headphones. Do you think warranty should fix this?

Yours must be the older connector, mine looks like a long Neutrik connector, or very similar.Is that even the stock cable? Sure doesn't look like my 2C's cable. Notice how yours is rounded off, whereas mine has a very squared shoulder? And mine is wider and without a little step down on the jack. Maybe Audeze has changed the design. Do you have a wider shot of your cable?

Purchased at Professional Music Store Germany. A huge huge shop here in Europe. Got them like a week ago, this was there from day one, as already documented in other thread. Hard to photograph something so close, this phone has no macro focus, this is digital zoom. But you can get the idea. No big deal really, purchase another connector and solder it. My cheapo 30€ sony earbuds have a perfect connector, and looks much better than this one. This one looks like a cheap chinese tin, rather than "gold plated" or any decent steel. But that is another story. Old one looks much better though. This cable came with an Audeze LCD-2C out of the box.
Exactly, same jack that I got, nothing new there. Will contact the shop and ask them, thanks!Here are some pics of these cans:
new style jack:
Here is the 2018 version with memory foam pads:
You can see the pads are thinner now. I sold my old pair to upgrade to the newest LCD-X but found my ears touching the fazors. So I have to switch back to the good-old LCD-2 classic, which still rocks
Well, it is no big deal. Certainly should not be in such a price item, but if they solve it I am happy. Maybe these cans were already returned from another buyer, I really don't know. The cable is quite decent. The mini XLR connector not REAN quality either, but all in all, these are quite cool SE cable, the aluminium Y thing is nice. Better than what you normally get with a new cans. Mine arrived faulty is the only issue. Soundwise very happy. Will contact them and surely will be solved.
They should replace it for you and better even with another brand.Yours must be the older connector, mine looks like a long Neutrik connector, or very similar.

The pads look so much smaller than the old onesI suppose I should share some photos in the correct thread as well:
Lower in density from what I know and have seen others report. I don't have much experience with the previous pads tbh.
They gave me a full new cable, shipped to me directly via FEDEX Express. I contacted Audeze directly and they solved the problem very fast. The shop was one of those big german music stores, not thomann, the other one, they didn't offered any kind of help, just to return them for a full refund is the option offered by the shop, and they took a while to answer. Audeze answered same day and fast.
