Well, seems to be the headphones after all.
2 different cables tested
Tested on PC and phone
Different headphones tested

Now the sound either is completely off on the right side or significantly lower.
Gonna go to the store soon to get them replaced.
This is fucking annoying. I just want headphones that work.


These Headphones definitely donā€™t like me.
Went to the store, told the guy what the problem is. He tried them himselfā€¦no issue.
Heā€™s understanding and tells me to let them run for some time, maybe it will occur only after some time.
20min later and no issue.
He said he could send them in, but if they find no issue than I have to pay for it. And that heā€™d rather have me take them home, use them again and if the issue occurs again come back and let them send the headphones to AKG.

Was on the phone just now with the store cause I forgot to ask how much it would cost if they canā€™t find a defect (~50ā‚¬). But the guy on the phone did sound much more understanding and maybe even more eager to find the issue than me. Told me I should send them in anyway cause it sounds like thereā€™s something wrong with them, even when the issue occurs so randomly.

Gonna test them some more and if they act up again Iā€™m gonna go to the store again today. If not, then on monday, regardless if the decreased volume/no sound on right side happens again or not.
But I gotta say Iā€™m surprised that guy was so eager to send them in and find out whatā€™s wrong with them. Guess thatā€™s a passionate audio guy.

I can replicate the issue!!!
Just takes ~3.5h of use on low volume. Then the issue starts appearing: first the volume goes down - but so slowly that you donā€™t notice it until the difference to the left side is really big -, then no audio at all on the right side.
~10min break (take them off, stop playback) then it will work again for ~15-30min until it starts from the beginning.

The only issue with replicating it is the time it takes and I suspect temperature being the other factor. Like thereā€™s a metal part in there that expands slowly over time when the headphones get used, until it looses contact. Then contracts cause lower temperature (electricity running through the wires and body heat from the head) until it gets contact again. Rinse and repeat.

I just hope the people over at AKG will test them in a way thatā€™s very similar to my usage (or just open up the driver and instantly find the defect).


Found an ester egg xD You can still see on Google Maps where the AKG HQ in Austria was.

Nice those look good. bb code would be helpful for when markdown falls behind and Iā€™m too lazy to hack it in html.

Isnā€™t there also a solved problem plugin for discourse somewhere? might be useful in future if we get more question and answer topics.
