Just got my HD800. Mine does not have the clank sound but there is a scratch on the mesh.

out of curiosity what is your guys's serial numbers that are creaking are they in the 5xx range?

 

[Wmcmanus]

I've not heard anything odd yet, but they probably don't have enough miles on them yet to really know for sure. If something changes, I'll report back.

I have the same suspicion.

 

[M3NTAL]

Yes, I am in the 5XX range.

I'm number 00685 and it clanks on the right side. I don't think serial numbers have anything to do with it.

But what are you worried about with the lines on the mesh? They look like circles and it is probably part of the material. They aren't stray lines that go all over the place. They have a definite patten so I'm sure it's a normal thing. The creaking and linty dust covers are a defect though.

What is meant by "linty dust covers"

I got my replacement pair from HeadRoom last night when I got home from work. It does not have the "wind chime" defect on the right side. After about nine hours of listening to everything from Bach, Mahler, Part, Gorecki, and Glass to Bicycle Face, Fear, Primus, Neil Young, Cowboy Junkies, Duke Ellington, McCoy Tyner, Paul Chambers, Don Byron, Kaki King, Nick Cave, Radiohead, etc. and on, I'm very excited about these headphones.

seems higher serial# are more prone to the defect. I have 6xx and 5xx and both has exactly creaking spring noise on the right side, whereas the 3xx is completely fine.

Take out your dust covers and look at the steel mesh in the earcups. Also give your fingers a good rubbing on the edges of the dust covers and watch the fibers flow!

Just received one of the first european pairs (serial #1230) and don't have this spring problem.

 

[Currawong]

I unscrewed the frivolous black piece of plastic in the silver part that is attached to the cups at one end and the headband at the other, and could clearly see the spring that is the cause of the problem. I think it's the hole it goes into in the headband that is the problem. My serial number is in the 500s as well.

Kelvinz,

I just watched your videos. That's horrible! To me, that's a defect in my books. Now I am going to keep close watch on Sennheiser to see when they fix it before I drop $1400 on a pair of headphones.

I have the same metallic sound coming from the left side. I don't hear it when I actually have them on my head though! Only when I move it around in my hand forcefully. It doesn't bother me at all since it's completely silent when in use.
