hi,

i've recently purchased an akg k500 and they have a noticable
channel imbalance on the right side.

the thing is, i'll try to describe this as exactly as i can,
i took apart the right side and had a look, suspecting a loose wiring somewhere,
but everything looked fine as far as i can see so im not sure what is wrong
and to add to the mystery, if i stretch the headband slightly more than my
head, the sound in the right channel goes out totally.

after this happens i usually either adjust the stock adapter, unscrew/screw,
or just wait for the sound to come back, which usually comes back in gradual
increments.

i can't tell what is wrong and would appreciate any helpful advice. thanks!

well the signal goes through the wires in the headband support, so you need to take a look on the left side also to see if there are fraying wires/loose connection etc..
