I think you’re totally right to be frustrated and it’s some real bad luck that this happened twice in a row.
I understand dougms3’s pov that it could be an easy fix and I’ve taken that position before too with other things. But at the same time, you’re absolutely right that no amount of DIY fixes should be required out of the box for a $1500 pair of headphones.
I got my OG Clears used and was initially a bit disappointed that I could hear a small rattle as if something was loose inside the left earcup. This wasn’t disclosed. I haven’t bothered to investigate more because it’s not affecting the actual listening experience.
