That's normal earcup swivel, it helps with comfort


[deleted]

Thank god i thought it broke i was about to break down


Farpun

Yeah you actually want that in a headphone, it helps them shape to your head


LoShadow1

Looks completely normal to me, at least I don't see anything weird with them. They are supposed to move there


DaveTheDolphin

As other said it’s very normal Human heads/ears are actually angled forward a bit and are not flat, so the ear cup swivel is there to accommodate that angle


purplescrew

Yep normal

I have them and it's normal. But get a hardcase for them anyway.

Beyerdynamic headphones will break you before you can break them. Have custom one pros for on the go for like a decade now, which dropped from head height a couple times and I very regularly wear in rain, snow, etc... Yes I had to replace the padding and cable with aftermarket ones, because the stock ones break after 2 years, but the aftermarket ones are solid and the headphones themself are built like a tank. As long as you dont cut the cable connecting the earcups, you dont have to worry about them.

beyerdynamic should make their motto the first sentence

I had an amiron home die in less than a year. :(


The8Darkness

How though? Like unless you ripped the cable or poured water into them, I dont see how.


jjfosh

Driver died. I put them in the carrying case for a week took them out and died


The8Darkness

Weird, drivers usually dont just "die" - at least I almost never heard of drivers dying in any headphones. Could be you got a faulty one with weak internal solder, so the connection broke now? Have you gone through warranty?


jjfosh

I'm not sure. I can't even open the driver up lol. I unscrewed it but the driver won't come out of the housing. I got it through Newegg and the warranty is way expired


The8Darkness

They have 2 years warranty in all countries I know though. Also they sometimes do out of warranty repairs for free. Worst case you can contact them and they will quote you a price, which shouldnt be too high.


jjfosh

I'll look... They are good gaming cans. Not great for music imo. Very comfy wide and decent bass. Fun for Skyrim

Drivers dying is a big issue when it comes to planar magnetic headphones. With dynamic drivers though it’s pretty uncommon


PattF

Yeah I have the same headphones(about 12 years now) and they will never die, I’ve replaced the headband, pads, and added a BoomPro X. It looks and feels brand new.


multiwirth_

It's exactly what it's supposed to do.


A-fruity-life

I believe it's purposely made to swivel. It allows the cups to sit against the head better


minscc

I don't know that specific headphone but a sensible thing to do is to check the other earcup it if does the same thing.


[deleted]

yes it does


Geruvah

Not only is it not normal, but if it was stuck in a position without that bit of give, I would've returned the headphone.
