No. No mods, but yes I am experiening the rattle. It's very annoying. I didnt notice it at first but now its loud and clear.
Just gently wiggle the base of the cable where it plugs into the headphone. It should feel pretty loose and make a clicking sound if it has the defect.
The connection itself is tight, but the female end is loose inside the casing.
Woops accidently posted that in this thread.
Well anyway, is it just me our do these sound better at night? Its kinda weird.
Yesterday I was getting sick of the sound but right around 8 o' clock they sounded great. Same is happening today. Making me think about keeping them after all...
Gotta love Sony's frequency response claims.
Waiting for their 0Hz - 300,000Hz flagship...
Wow... I didn't know that .. That explains a lot. That's probably why some people give up on particular cans sometime. I still want to get the ma900s now because of my gaming and overall music needs. It's between those, dt880, q701, and hd598.
I've decided to return mine for a refund -- no more replacements. It's like playing the lottery trying to get one without jack rattle. The frustrating thing is any alternative headphone I end up buying will not be as comfortable, nor have this level of comfort, sound quality, and portability all in a single package.
Maybe you can try getting one from another supplier? Preferably from Asia-Pacific? My pair doesn't have any of the QC issues.
I would in a heartbeat if I had any guarantee aside from a couple owners not having the issue -- it's just too risky importing them.
is your jack rattle problem something that you hear when you are sitting still or when you are walking around or only when you are messing with the cable?
I purchased a MDR-1R from amazon and I did not notice any jack rattling during normal usage, or when I am walking about, or when I jump around/shake my head. However, I was able to "replicate" the issue by wiggling the wire right next to the 3.5 input plug.
what exactly is the issue that you are experiencing and when do you experience it?? is this an issue apparent from the start or happens after long-term usage?
Hey those who own the 1Rs, what country was yours manufactured in?
It'll depend. The MDR-1Rs have a support ring, whilst the BT doesn't (weird, I actually thought I uploaded these pix before but obviously not) :-
