Hi, I have closed planar headphones and I hear clicking noises on the right side, is this normal or a problem with the driver?

I have several planar headphones, and that is definitely not normal. Does it make that sound consistently, or only during certain parts of the music you are listening to? I have a pair of fostex headphones that one cup rattles when playing back some sub bass frequencies (known issue with some units from that run). What headphone are you using?

The noises have no effect on the sound, I only hear clicks when I lift the right side.
Are you referring to the cup hitting the yoke? Like the mechanism clicking?

Closed back planars typically do this from pressure of air in the cups. Its nothing to worry about.
It should only be a worry if you hear clicks when there is cracking when sound plays. Does this happen?
Yes, that can happen depending on the tolerances they allow for machining the components. I don't own that headphone, but that can happen with any manufacturer.

When I remove the cushion from the right side of the earphone and place the right earphone on the ear without the cushion I do not hear the clicks, what is the reason?
Check the pad clips to see if one is broken or loose. It's usually when a mounting ring isn't snug in place and causes it to click against the headphone cup. If it is and you narrow it down, a small piece of electrical tape where it's making contact will keep it from clicking.
Ok i will check it
