I just received my DT770/80 Pros, and I love them so far. But, I did notice one thing which I wasn't sure if I was correct about. It seems that the right driver is slightly quieter than the left driver. Not much, but I noticed it in several tracks.
Then I saw a post in another thread with this quote, referring to the DT770/80 Pros:

Is this a known issue with the DT770/80s? Or, is my right ear left slightly less sensitive than my left ear?
Is this because of the one-sided cable? I guess this would be addressed and fixed by Darthing the DT770s because of the dual-cables added.
When I had these headphones, I posted on this thread: PX100 woes
I had some major problems with those headphones. I figured they had to be a lemon, because I heard a bit of 'fuzz' as well as the heavy imbalance. For me, that was about 10dB (I have a sound pressure meter to measure). I returned them.
I'm hoping the darth beyer works through this better, since I'm planning on buying one sometime. If Slaughter notices an imbalance though, then chances are I'll not make that purchase.

I have new 770/80 and with some CDs i also had feeling that all is moved slightly to left...with some other material practically not. Now i burn them in with pink and it seems to disapear and the sound is sort of very comfortably droped down a little. pink does wonders!
hope it helps, leener

Thank you. Mine are at home right now burning-in with pink noise. They have about 5 hours of music and 30 hours of pink noise on them now.
Last time I checked in on them, I still could hear a slight difference between the drivers' volumes. I hope the burn-in helps, though.
Does the imbalance go away with burn in? Because at first I thought it was just me. But then I took a listen again today after 40 some odd hours of pink noise burn in, I still notice the left driver being louder than the right and it's driving me up the wall. Can't even listen long enough to see if I like the Beyer signature or not

I really doubt that the imbalance would even out by burn-in, although leener proves me wrong. Personally, I think I would exchange them for another pair instead of waiting for it to go away.
Do you experience the same imbalance out of different amplifiers? And different headphones?
Oh, and there are some songs which DO sound out of balance, just not very common though, I think.
