Finally, I soldered cable, everything was fine on multimeter, nothing is shorted, resistances are pretty much the same, but there's no sound out on ES100. Can it be problem in ES100? How I ruined it? Pro82 = L+ R+ L- R-, A&K = R- R+ L+ L-, right? So, my scheme looks like this:
L+ (Pink) R+ (Yellow) L- (White) R- (Red)
R- (Red) R+ (Yellow) L+ (Pink) L- (White).

P.S. Spent 50$ for custom cable, already ruined 3 plugs and 1m of cable. Flawless victory.

Apparently the rattle was due to dust or something in the housing. The pads aren't hard to remove and use a snap-on mechanism, not sure why people are saying they are "glued". (They probably are, but after prying it off gently the first time you can reattach it easily). What I find more irritating now is a slight clunking sound of the hinge on the left earcup - any tips on how to fix this?

Got a pair of headphones a couple of days ago. I listened for an hour and was pleased, but began to notice that in the left earpiece the bass was playing louder than in the right one. I turned on the test bass track and the channel imbalance was clearly audible and the right earpiece had a rattling defect at bass frequencies below 80Hz. I connected my Audio-technica M40X and everything in them sounds without imbalance and without defects, clear bass sound. I was very disappointed because I liked the sound of the Pro 82 and it’s amazing how for such little money they play no worse than m40x and Shure SRH 440 with which I had a chance to compare them.
anywhere i can buy a separate right speaker for takstar and make repairs?

Did you buy v1 or v2, and from which store?

I bought them on sale for 49$ from LiteTeck store:

I see no damage to the membrane.

Don't know about you, but for me cost of shipping items back to China is generally more than cost of the items I buy from AliExpress. So shipping items back is never really an option.

For me it will cost $ 20, almost half the cost of the headphones themselves. I decided to cancel the return of the headphones and requested a refund of 50% of the cost of the headphones. May be able to buy a separate speaker and repair it.

The seller will return me 50% of the cost for my defective Takstar. Now I have donor headphones, and since these are very soft, lightweight and comfortable headphones that are not felt on my head, I decided to buy drivers with aliexpress and install them in takstar. It seems the best 40mm, which I managed to find, if anyone knows better, then write, please. Graphics look good speakers.

Speaker performance greatly depends on the cups (shape,size) and dampening used. Don't expect too much from putting random speakers into Pro 82.
