As said by the title, I just pruchased a pair of AD-700's and have been using them for gaming and listening to music.  I recently discovered (while gaming) that the rear soundstage is significantly quieter than usual.  I tried checking connections, restarting everything, and everything in between.  I also found that the left speakers play a little louder than the right ones, and something to note would be that I bought them from buydig.com and that the package had been previously opened.  Please help, as my warranty will expire soon

how are you powering them? i use an astro mixamp with mine and if the volume knob isn't up just enough, the left speakers will play louder than the right. they are easy to power but maybe they aren't getting enough juice.

Make sure your in-game audio is set to headphones or 2-channel speakers.

I am powering them with an amp meant for surround sound speakers, so I don't think that power is the problem...  As for the settings, I'll try that, except for the fact that now my right audio cuts out completely at times, and the ONLY the rear sound out of the entire range is quieter than usual.  The sound is kinda sounds a bit "echo-y" and very distant.  I don't have toslink cables, and have routed the audio and video through the amp.  The right sound problem is usually solved (sometimes temporarily) by disconnecting the headphones from the amp, turning the amp off, then turning it back on and reconnecting the headphones.

That sounds like a cable problem for sure. Either its not plugged in all the way or somethings up with the audio connections

Yeah, I'm using the xbox cables, so I'll try it with a toslink instead of the standard connections.
