BaiFei Li C414 34mm capsule (PCB & Capsule pictures)

Mine is already broken. Parasitic noises and capsule that pops when I speak into it.

Did you open it to check what could be wrong? Maybe the connection of the capsule to the circuit board is not good, it can be as simple as that.
You need Torx T8 to remove the 3 screws and slide the basket out carefully not to tear the cables and that's it. You can post photos here. They have replacement capsules for sale just in case.

BTW I got in touch with BaiFeiLi store on aliexpress and alibaba, they have been pretty nice and offered me to send a spare capsule if I pay for the shipping or with an other order. They also told me they will check with the assembly line to prevent that. I was thinking of getting a BaiFei Li V5, they seem to be really smooth and great for vocals.
I tested and measured the response of the 414 with the fingerprint and the 4 other I have with REW and there was almost no difference between all of them.
I paired some to make stereo matching drum room microphones and overheads.

This is the response I got from all the BFL. The curve is because of my speaker/room response and mic placement but they are really close to each others.

I have already inspected, nothing convincing, but indeed the work is not neat inside...
