I was thinking that to, but if I invert the phones it sounds louder in the left... I an still gonna try an audiologist or something...

Noone has anything else to suggest?

Yeah, the line is as clean as possible. Just the channel 7+8 (for high res mode) to the headphones, no adapters or anything. But the thing is I don't see how it can be the source, as it happens on more than one... I will ahve to try it with a friends CD player or something...

I tried with a500s and MS-1s, it is more noticeable (by alot) in the a500s...

I'm with MD on this one.

The AV-710 takes the burn ins, normally listen to my normal music a little louder on shuffle throughout the night, so it gets a full specrum of what I listen to.

I don't know what it could be, it has been baffling me... I am gonna try to send back my a500s if I can't fix this soon... a shame because I really liked them, but the balance being off really makes me angry. To describe what it sounds like, I made this nifty little diagram. The | is where it...

I tried it with my Rio Karma, AV-710 and some AC97 onboard sound at school, with multiple songs/sounds, of course. BTW, that rubbng Alcohol idea didn't work...

Can't say I have, it is all at stock, including the cans, no amp either..

Every pair of headphones I get has a weaker left channel. It starts out the balanced, but after burning in the left ear seems to get weaker... I tried switching sides and all that, it isn't my ears, it is the phones. I have no idea what I do to them, as I take good care of them, make sure they...

It is basically putting them in sideways so the speaker faces the front of your head.

I don'tm hvae any problems with my Alessandros, I was using the comfies for about 2 months until I could get the flats... I wore them religiously from about 3-10pm everyday, longer on weekends with only a minor discomfort in the last hour or so. The flats however, are a different story. While...

Yeah, you gotta go Grado, I can only reccomend the Alessandro line and I say MS-1s are pretty fun... makes you want to tap your feet and bob your head. (To avoid confusion for anyone who doesn't know, Grado makes the Alessandro MS series.)

For $110 the A500s sound good and are REALLY comforatable to Grado ears.
