Short of searching ~350 pages for the info, does anyone have a link to disassembly/a fix for the rattle issue?
I thought mine were good until I listened to some Aphex today and got the dreaded buzz in the right ear with some of the bassy parts on Syro. Considering I'm in the UK, I don't fancy much sending them back, and I'm good with DIY modifications etc, I'd just like to have a bit of info before hand an not "go in blind" so to speak...

SquidgyBLook through the forum thread somewhere that was called something like "k701 bassmod". There should be instructions some pages in to the thread, I'll post a link later when I come home.

SquidgyBThere is a fix that doesn't require disassembly you might want to try first. Basically just remove the foam pad and gently and carefully see if you can reseat the driver with a q-tip.

FuzzI was not aware that the wires could be facing the wrong way and create rattling, I too will keep this in mind when my pair arrives (still not in my home country)
