Hi, I just got these headphones, and I was wondering if it was normal to hear a sort clicking/creaking noise from the audio cable whenever it's moved/jostled at all. This is the first pair of headphones that I've ever had that's cost more than $70 or so, so I'm not sure what to expect in terms of build quality, etc. It sounds great, and overall feels well put-together, but I noticed almost immediately that I would hear a noise coming from the left side anytime I moved my head at all, and I mean just moving it an inch or two. Never really experienced anything like that before, certainly not with the pair I have now. I saw online that many people complaining about "creaking" from theirs, which is what I thought it may be, that the frame itself was creaking from movement, but eventually I realized that the movement of the audio cable was what was causing the noise.
It almost seems like it's not really securely clicked in all the way(though it is), and that any movement of the cable itself is almost causing the plug to jostle in the port and hit the sides. No noise if I take the cable out, and very limited to close to none if I hold the cable away from myself and move around, so that it's no longer dragging on my body. Only when it's plugged in and allowed to hang normally. Confirmed it by just moving the cable around with my hands, not aggressively, just gently swaying it back and forward, pretty constant light tapping noises. It's the same with both cables they included. I don't intend to wear these out, they'll be used at a desk, but it's still pretty annoying to hear a more or less constant slight "click" from one side just from looking around/moving a bit. Especially seems strange if this is normal, since I assume you are expected to be moving around with these a lot, being portable and all. If anyone could comment on whether they experienced the same thing, it'd be great. I would at least know if I maybe got one with ill-fitting jacks or there's something wrong with the snugness of the outlet, could consider returning them.
