We are all in agreement that there is a designed gap. All the photos posted which I have seen show a shadow in the gap, including massdrop photos. I believe the best angle on massdrop is the 5/6 photo in their sequence and this appears to me to that the wood has been finished and also looks finished. I would not have any problem owning those.
My photos show a hugh overmilled gap in two directions. There is no joint, it have been removed by mistake leaving an unintended 1/16" gap. It was milled too deep (bottomed out) and additionally mistakenly milled in the adjacent plane removing material which should have been left. They have milled out any intended joint leaving an ugly unintended oversize unfinished gap. Did I mention the gap was not finished? The wood is unfinished unlike the pictures mass drop and others have posted. As posted earlier, this type of joint was never intended to bottom out. It should be similiar to a "v" router bit which does not bottom out rather only goes approximately 1/3 of the total depth down resulting in a nice looking finished joint. This is not what my cans look like it has not only been bottomed out meaning milling way too far down, a second mistake was made removing even more wood from the metal frame to the wooden cup, 1/16" making it extremely noticeable. Did I mentioned it was not stained or lacquered? Making this white wood stick out compared to the stained, lacquered wood, mahogany. Please massdrop or anyone else show me photos like I posted which your telling you purchased and thought were acceptable.

kathleen7700Ironically, the pictures you posted are very unclear and are shot at an angle that defeats the purpose (assuming you're trying to show us something on the bottom cup?). I don't see why it would have been so hard to put the camera closer to what you're trying to show us - especially if you're going to continue to berate the community. Stop wasting your time being rude to people who are trying to answer your question. You don't air your grievances with a business by picking internet fights with other customers. You really ought to consider how you've been coming across here, and especially if you are as surprised as you seem to be that nobody is sympathetic.

kathleen7700Your photos indicate your THX00 are within reasonable QC. Hell, my ebonies($499 BTW) have such gaps too, and left and right units match within 1 dBSPL. (which is exceptional) Or If you got tired of your THX00 you can simply sell it to other enthusiasts. Make it free shipping at $350~370, and it will sell very very quick.

kathleen7700Uh this has been a long chain so I'll make my points short. To answer your question.
1. Please be nice to other people who are trying to help you. 2. A close up picture would probably help easier identifying problem. 3. The gap is intended as people mentioned it's been around since Denon days (I own Denon D2000). These headphones are really semi-open headphones and the gap help making it sound more open and netural. 4. The notches on the side is to make room for the headphone hinges, if they don't mill those out the wood will hit the hinge and it will not fit. Denon's D2000 plastic cup did not need this because plastic can be made thinner without breaking.
How do I know this? I've opened and closed my headphone over 30+ times to mod them to sound the way I wanted.
Unless there is something we missed but it would really help with a close up pic.
Cheers!

kathleen7700I couldn't help but see your discussion on the main page, so I decided to come here to read more.
Wow... did I ever get what I asked for. You've posted quite a bit of content, and there's a lot of "tennis dialogue" but that's to be expected.
However I have one question: Have you actually listened to them? By the way, I'm not asking this in that how they sound should justify what may or may not be a manufacturing defect, I'm just curious if you even did try them out for their utility.

gb21011971Wow gb21011971. Apparently you have not figured out that it is not mandatory reading. If you are sick and tired of it as we all are why do you continue to read?
