STAX Setup Pending Sale

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

About 3 months, I purchased a Stax setup from a user here (plaidplatypus), for 400$. All was swell and fine until I woke up one morning and noticed an imbalance had developed with the left side being quite a bit lower than the right, and after narrowing it down to the headphones I realized the issue I was having is the same as http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/237468/stax-srm-1-mk-2-lambda-pro-channel-imbalance/0 . All I've tried so far is discharging them and letting them recharge and that didn't do anything. I'm very poor at technical mumbo jumbo and would rather not drop money on a soldering kit and all that nonsense to try and fix it, so I'm selling them. The amps in perfect shape so I'll just leave it at 200$, 100$ for the headphones so 300$ shipped for both.

 

Thankfully, I have a fallback pair of headphones in the meantime, my pair of HD595s. Upon pulling them out of retirement and trying them on though, they too have developed an imbalance, with the right side being lower than the left. I don't have a clue as to how to go about fixing these and would rather not bother trying. These are in rough physical shape having seen 3 years of use, with some peeling of the leather headband and the foam on the right earpiece becoming loose. 75$ shipped for them. 

 

I can take pics if neccesary but all I got atm is a hideous 640x480 10 dollar webcam so dont expect much detail.

 

STAX SR Lambda Pro, with a left-right channel imbalance (issue with either wire or drivers) - 100$

STAX SRM-1 Mk II, perfectly fine - 200$

Sennheiser HD595s, also with a left-right channel imbalance (idk why) - 75$

 

350$ shipped for all 3.

 

I also have a pair of HD595s for sale. These too have a channel imbalance, with the right side being considreably quiter than the left. I don't have a clue as to how to go about fixing these and would rather not bother trying. These are in rough physical shape having seen 3 years of use, with some peeling of the leather headband and the foam on the right earpiece becoming loose. 75$ shipped for them.
