In in the "What to look for in headphones?" thread, imagist notes the same problem I am having with the HD 25 II, and the same that Simon B experienced with HD250 II.
-The point of connection between the cable and earcup becoming intermittent-
As well as the seemingly random loses of signal, it is also guaranteed to lose signal when a loud transient is received (eg a clapper board, a shout).
I feed my cans lower volume than anyone I know.
It is always the left earcup and it is fixed by applying small pressure to the connector in a forwards direction.
I otherwise love my HD25s and was ready to buy a spare pair when this started some moths back.
Imagist mentioned that tinning the connectors seemed to give another couple months before intermittent behaviour, but I would love to find a more permanent solution.
Has anyone found anything to help?
Thanks
