I guess I’m buying a solder iron today.
I’m glad I work at menards. After I fixed the phase of the driver it sounds so much better. I’m really glad that I opened them up to mod them or I would have never known.
I’m ready for next train if you are… Lol
I haven’t heard a second of audio from my pair of Phantoms, so I may have I’ll give them 2 months! 8-9 months before my pair goes bad tho, but from the sound of things… they may already be. 
Edit: Packed, ready to go, camping in front of Fidelio X3 ticket booth.

Aye there’s a fine line between a hype train and click bait me thinks, but they both keep the wheels of the audiophile social media rolling

I got the same problem. 
Luckily it was a pretty easy fix. I just bought a $15 soldering iron from Menards and fixed it. Make sure to use Rosin Core Solder.
Thank you. I have never solder any thing before.
It’s pretty easy with a steady hand. Watch a few youtube videos. Otherwise you will be sending them back to linsoul for repairs or a replacement.
This wiring ordeal is very strange to me. First off, I cant see a company accidentally reversing the wires on so many pairs of headphones, especially after making the first batch with 0 reported wiring problems.
I think that when they installed the 2.5mm receptacles into some of the earcups, they had them rotated 180 degrees out, in meaning they had the positive and negative terminals reversed. I think the cans are wired correctly, but look wrong because they had to solder the wires to the terminals opposite to the terminals on the driver units.
Agreed with Conor that this could definitely be the case. Check with the polarity test!!

Probably… but I was in the market for a pair of M1060C so this came at just the right time.
The m1060 hype train was pretty aggressive too
I want to try planar and I refuse to support hifiman or audeze.

Lol…even Hello magazine were wetting them selves over them 
I can not believe that I spend $350 on phones that are wired wrong. It pi** me off.
I test with this website given earlier. https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_polaritycheck.php The Rumbler Out of Phase had more base. The 75 Hz Tone Out of Phase was louder. The guitar part sounded different, but I could not tell which one is suppose to be in-phase.

I got a volt meter. Can I measure it?
Do both sides seem wired wrong or as other have said maybe the posts got twisted .
If I get a chance I can take a close up picture of the posts to see if the resemble what you have .
The right side are cross and the left side are straight.
After i re-soldered mine it is definitely correct now.
