Fidelio X2 Cracking

[micksson]

Hello everyone
 
So since last night my Fidelios have started making a cracking sound from one of the left side hinges. It really came out of nowhere and I bought them only 2 months ago so it really surprises me that there already is something faulty with them  
I tried to thighten the screw but it is already in place so that is not it. Obviously greasing the hinge should be the next thing to try but since I am affraid it might damage something, maybe I am too paranoid , I have not tried it yet. What do you guys say?

Odds are, the pin/screw that's holding the cup on cracked, or something similar. (That's my best guess with what you've posted. If you still have the ability to return it, you may want try doing so. Have you noticed any change in sound quality?

Thanks for answering. What you are saying is probably the problem. No the sound is perfect but anyways, I went to the store where I bought them and they said they will replace them so that is good

Same problem here. Tried to WD40 the hinges -- but it's not the hinges. The sound comes from something else. Not in mood of playing the postman game (bought them from Amazon) so I'm looking for a DIY solution.

Oh! Just tried to twist them while listening on the ouside parts. The crackling comes from the connecting band / strip which touches the head -- the band that contains some sort of a reverse spring. Not sure what to use to grease this.
 
Wow, just as I am writings this -- I have pulled one side of the band (and then the other side) as much as I could to the side to reveal the inside -- then let it go back -- and now the crackling is pretty much (99%) gone.
 
Problem solving real-time lol.
 
EDIT: solved 100% actually

Update -- the crackling kept coming back -- so an application of a grease was necessary:
 

 
Problem b gone.

Hey, where did you put the grease exactly?

On the band in the middle of the picture -- you can see it's a little reflective due to the grease being on it. (Apply from both sides.) The crackling never came back.

Thanks. I might have to give it a go
