Today i sent the q40 back to amazon uk. I spent 33€ for the shipping I hope they'll refound this too. Anyway that's the second pair that has this annoying rattle. I really love the q40 but I can't stand this. Anyone have a good alternative? I was thinking about the dt770 80ohm...
Personally, I find the DT770/80 to be inferior in almost every way except treble, soundstage, and comfort. The Q40 has better balance, MUCH better mids, and more powerful bass. I also find that M-100 to be inferior in terms of sound. The only other bass-head can that I could recommend that does things as well as the Q40's (and a little bit better at that) is the Philips X1. They have very similar sound signatures but the X1 is an amazing headphone. They are open but the bass is not lacking at all, mids are maintained, and the highs are soft like on the Q40.
