HP-2 Driver Bass Rattle- Help?

Recommended Posts

So I just acquired a pair of HP-2s. While testing them out today, I detected a bass rattle in the right driver. Confirmed this using test tones from the RealTraps site. The rattle does not show up with my HD650s, so I'm inclined to think its not my other gear. However, I don't have another source/amp combo to test on.

Is this sort of thing fixable? Should I just return the headphones to the seller? Am I being stupid and missing anything? I would greatly appreciate any and all help.

I looked at the drivers and couldn't see anything, and then used a rubber bulb blow thing to blow lightly at the driver, and it's still there.

If it helps at all, the rattle is stronger the lower the pitch.

Update:

The rattle attenuates significantly, almost to the point of no detection, if I press the cups to my head.

Removing the earpads changes nothing.

Also, the rattle starts only at high (but not extremely high) volume.
