Just received my Sharkk bt 4.0, The package was in VG condition but there are several loose items rattling around inside the speaker. Is this correct or??

Hi - I do not think this is "normal" - mine didn't rattle - that sounds to me like the camera has something broken inside. I would return and get a replacement. It may work great now....but what about the future? However, I am no expert. Best of luck

No rattle here. I would return it before it gets worse. And a refund will be harder to get the longer you wait!

I bought mine new. No problems. Very good speakers. Send your back and get new ones.

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

funny i just noticed that last week, yes it rattles or sounds like there is something loose in there, but it does not affect performance at all, actually i think it maybe the ios mechanism inside.

Def not. I have two of these, and neither of them make any type of rattling sound.

There's really 4 possible problem I can think of. 1) The clothe that is use to cover the box is not tight or not put on properly. 2) you have your speaker wire inside the box too long. What I did, I twist the wires together until it was nice and tight then I hook it to the terminal. 3) The terminal cap itself is loose, to check this just hold the terminal firm with one hand from the inside of the box, with your other hand reach around and try to wiggle it. IF it wiggle then its loose. If this is the case, a quick fix is just pop off the terminal cap and paste a small amount of silicone around the terminal and pop it back in. 4) lastly, check if there's any crack inside the box. This will let air out when you have your bass on and it will make the clothe around the box flap around..........Well hope that help..

I haven't had any such issue. The only things I can think of are the obvious, like checking to make sure the stand is on a flat surface, shimming the feet as needed, trying to hear exactly where the rattling sound is coming from.

Yeah it sounds defective. I would suggest calling Amazon to see if you can get an exchange.

Its possibly the voice coils . I bought the speaker and sold it. It wasn't a good speaker

First, no - that's not normal. I'm not sure how large the thing is you hear moving around but it may be insulation, a speaker wire or a lose cross over. Either way I would suggest you take advantage of Amazon's generous return policy and either return then for a refund or replacement pair. That rattle will show up while playing music especially at higher volumes.

Apparently there was a ribbon cable that was routed from the DSP module inside the cabinet that would make a slight sound (from hitting the side of the module itself) whenever the speaker was flipped upside down for instance. On EV's part they decided to preemptively recall the affected units early in the first production run, even though this minor defect did not compromise the sound or safety of the units. I have six of them and have flipped them around in all directions and I have heard no rattling in any of mine (I did not hear about the "recall" until I had already begun shopping for monitors). I have had a great experience with Electro Voice products thus far and I plan to buy more if the need arises.

I couldn't tell from the B&W website if they implied any improvements but I bought this set up 6 months ago and returned it due to the heating in the right speaker. After I noticed it I googled it and found it has been a concern since they were first launched.

I've had two that I ordered recently and neither of them sounded like they had loose parts. Both have worked flawlessly. I'd send it back for a new one.

No, it should never rattle! I think it depends as to whether you can hear a SMALL background whine or not. Mine is fine on the low speed, but has a very high-pitched background whine on the high speed. My husband can't hear it, but I can't stand it! Is yours still under warranty? Sounds like they should exchange it.
