annoying, my pair has a bit that issue to, in the right cup but only on heavy bass songs, i did noticed just a couple of times so far....
So is this bass rattle problem a thing that develops over time? I've had my pair for a few months now with no trouble and I'm hoping I didn't make a bad purchase... They sound fantastic with a balanced cable on my Jotunheim (I listen mostly to dark prog rock so not super bassy).

Hi! Two quick questions:
  • How much sound do those headphones leak? I had a plan to use them in the open-plan office and I don't want to bother my colleagues.
  • Will I be able to drive those properly with Fiio Q5?
Thanks!

My two pairs were faulty straight away, to properly test them use the Bass Shaker here: https://www.audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php

Good morning. I have a spare pair of zmf oval lamb pads. Would I benefit by putting these on my t60 rp headphones. Thanks.
Dude, if you have spares, just try them to see for yourself, no one can say that it improves sound for you as everyone hears differently

Both drivers are rattling a lot, especially the left one. My T50-RP mk3 has a bit of rattle only at 30Hz sinewave and for volume higher than 80dBFS (measured with DecibelX in the middle of the driver).

I'll see if I can fix it. I think the rattle seems to be caused by imperfect alignment of both halves containing the magnets, but I'll update the forum when I'll have some results.

Couple of close-up pics, not related to the rattling issues.
That's why i ordered MODHOUSEAUDIO ARGON MK3 with balanced mod all perfect

Sound leakage is quite moderate based on my testing. I guess it depends on your co-workers whether they would find it annoying. What are you currently using?
