Headphoneus Supremus
You know why they redesigned Utopia 22?We’ve done this dance before. I’m glad you found headphones you like but the vast majority of owners aren’t having this happen, so jumping to the conclusion of faulty design is a huge leap without having the statistical evidence to support it. You even state that a second Utopia OG didn’t have the same issue - faulty design doesn’t seem to be the issue here or the second unit would have also lost a driver.
Far more likely that it’s either a defective individual headphone or user error by overdriving.
Either way, dynamic drivers are poor choices for reproducing LFE in headphones due to design limitations. If you want to use headphones to reproduce ”thundering bass and bombs”, planers are a much safer driver type to use.
Voice coil from 100% copper to 70 copper and 30 magnesium, I think or Ti, for no melting issue with 2022 version.
