You might have a faulty pair of 7XXs, both of my 712s have less bass than my 7XX, and my 7XXs don't have ANY rattle. I also am 99% sure that the 712 & 7XX have the same pads.
I checked the pads and thought they look similar, the K7XX look and feel stiffer compared to the K712 softer and more spongy. The K7XX feels like it barely makes a seal around my ears compared to the K712, which feels like it makes a more fitted seal. I feel like the K712 has a wee bit more bass than the K7XX as well and the K712 Highs are wee bit more soothed while the mids on the K712 seemed more refined for me. But im not saying that dont sound similar, they do actually, its just that the 712 sounds more refined to my ears.
Also, I ran the headphone shaker test tone again, and while the K712 doesnt rattle on low gain at max volume from my Cayin C5, it does rattle at around dial 4 with high gain. K7XX rattles starting at 7.5 actually and at max volume, the rattle doesnt seem to be that obvious, on low gain of course.
So Im not sure what to make of this. Like I have said, both sound similar but for a refinement in sound, the k712 takes it for me.
Then again like you have said, i may have a faulty K7XX
Does that mean I will have to pay for the shipping to send it out?
