Mine were pretty tough and solid when I bought them new, but they have definitely loosened up.

My left driver actually went bad a few weeks ago after having them for a year and a half, which surprised me considering this is their top of the line headphone, but the warranty repair went through fine. They even replaced the cable with a longer, but still coiled replacement.

So far, only in terms of build quality, I'd say the AKG 271s are my favorite due to them feeling just so damn solid.

The thing about headphones is that people want them to be as light and comfortable as possible yet sound as good as a pair of 200 pound speakers.As long as they are comfortable and sound good with long term realiability,who cares about the wobble.
