Now that the backorders have been filled for a week or two, does anyone have any loose screw issues with the latest batch of Denon's?

Trying to see if they fixed it with the downtime.

Also, I sent an email to Denon about the issue when it first cropped up but it was never answered (surprise surprise)...has anyone actually mad contact with Denon about it?

just received my 2000 today. I will keep a watch out. Any warning signs?

Mine was one of the new batch. 2 weeks with no problems

Last batch, no problems. Didn't have any problems with the first batch either.

If you hold each of the earcups and look at the hinge screw...gently see if one has more side to side "play" than the other...

If it does, and you use them frequently, the screw may work its way completely loose in a few weeks.

No play in mine. They're from the new batch, hopefully they fixed it. I'll let ya know in a few weeks

Thanks for the updates!

Mine seems to be fine as well

Old batch here, no problems so far.

First, thanks so much for all your posts on the D5000. I just burned mine in and they sound great.

1-Can you tell me how much side to side"play" the earcups should have? Mine have a slight gap right at the single screw pivot point that is equal on both sides.

2-Is there supposed to be a slight amount of play to allow the earcups to adjust and float on to your head?

3-If I screw the cups tightly into the headband with no play won't it be more difficult for the earcups to adjust to the contour of your head?

Thanks

Had mine for a total of 5 days now, and the left cup just fell off.

Pretty sure mine was from the new batch, had to wait ages for audiocubes to get them back in stock (and now they're cheaper too, darnit).

Not very happy.

Wow, that really sucks

Have you contacted Denon about it?

So what's the best way to handle these headphones? When I'm not wearing them should I lay them down or hang them up?

I haven't heard much about customers sending the phones to Denon for repair. Has anyone gone this route, or have most people just repaired it themselves? I'd be curious to know, because although it seems that "loctite-ing" the screw isn't too difficult, if everyone does it then Denon won't be entirely aware of the scope of the defect.

I don't know about anyone else who has had this problem, but I am slightly reluctant to contact the suppliers (in my case audiocubes). There's nothing much they can do other than replace it, and that means shipping back to Japan. Much easier and quicker just to fix it myself.

Will contact audiocubes anyway and post updates here.
