WF-1000XM3 creaking

ProDyx — Wed, 17 Feb 2021 21:29:34 GMT

Hi!

I just want to know if it's normal for my new WF-1000XM3 to be creaking when I apply a little bit of pressure on top of them? Also, one earbud is creaking more than the other.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello @ProDyx,

what do you mean by "apply pressure on top of them"? WF-1000Xm3 are the earbuds, aren't they?

How would you apply pressure on top of them?

When I slightly press on it, like when I pick it up, a creaking can be heard, but only when I press on top of it(exactly where the SONY logo is).

And yes, I have the earbuds.

You shouldn't be applying pressure to them, I wouldn't know whether the amount of creaking is normal or not, but I wouldn't think anything of it unless the operation is affected or if it started creaking after being dropped or something like that.
