Is the box too big and without proper cushioning? I had experienced the same with Delta OG but it was much better with Atlas.

Couple of songs in and there is a lot of driver flex, especially on the right earpiece. There is also a kind of "springy" sound on the right earpiece that accompanies the driver flex sound. Don't get me wrong, the songs sound great through the Sabre, but the driver flex is kind of annoying and very present.

Yes, pretty much, and if the delivery happens to be on a rainy day best of luck to you.

So the headphones themselves seem to have no damage. But connecting the cable to the earpieces was a pain in the...well, you know. I don't know if they are supposed to go all the way in (mine won't) and yes, I put them in the right way.

 
They look all the way to me xD mine look like this:

Is that springy sound like a vibration? like when you tap them? i had that on mine too, also on the right side accompained by the driver flex. I didn't notice any change on the sound though, i think it's just the displacement of the drivers, in my case of course

Hopefully it's just the box, is everything intact and ok?

Oh Hail No! DHL should be buying that pair for damage to the presentation case alone I'm sure the photo's from today alone would get upper managements attetion especially if they realize what kind of negative publicity they could get

I completely agree. It's their job to be careful with their packages. One thing is a little dent, but that was too much for sure.

Does anyone knows what the filters tuning colors are?

From the bassiest to the less bassy:
 
Red > Orange > Gold > Gunmetal > Purple
 
Red > Orange > Gold > Purple > Gunmetal
 
If i'm not mistaken
