... I also noticed that the sponge material is visible on one side of the earpad but not the other on the inside. I don't know if that's normal or whether that opening could also be a source of the vibration. If anyone has taken their earpads off, I'd love to know. ...
I would love to help you out on this one, I just do not understand what your asking.
Bark Snarly obviously put thinks in more understandable terms than me, because an inspections for things like hair, dust, or loose objects, is just what I meant. We had this little metal thing on these, that vibrates given enough base, so any loose piece, or any foreign object of any kind, will behave just like that metal thing.
Anyone else try this cable?

I just got mine (after a month and a half) and it seems to make the left speaker much louder than the right.
I can't tell if it is a fit issue or a cable issue.
I really do not like the sound of both these issues. All I can do is just speculate and share my experiences from my past.
It could be the same issue, and to me, that would hint to the female 3.5mm jack. Given the assumption that soldering and cables are fine, that would break down to basicly two issues: Mechanical or dirt.
As for mechanical, that probably need some repair work or tinkering. It could be an alignment issue, and it could be third party jacks being of slight different dimensions, messing things up. I simply do not know.
In my experience, these things hardly ever breaks. What has happened to me, is that the soldering gets broken from fatigue. I have fixed some of these in the past, like in walkmans, simply by redoing the soldering of the female. Actually, the print board that these female jack terminators are soldered to, usually breaks on me, prior to the terminator itself. I actually have redone the wiring a couple of times, as to fix broken print boards.
That said, the jack terminators pumping out of china these days, fits differently than any jacks I have ever used in my past. Some seems thicker. I try to avoid using these, as they as far as I can tell, weakens the female jack, and other male terminators fits more loosely after using these bigger ones. Still nothing has broken on me yet.
In my experience, I just never had to clean any female jack ever. That includes the mobile phone that lives in my pockets. Cleaning might be vacuuming, compressed air, or some alcohol. As for vacuuming that is an utterly no go with any electronics, use compressed air. Also, be careful as not to spill fluids like alcohol on the drivers. Applying some alcohol to a male jack, and give it some play, might be all that is needed. The alcohol itself will just vaporize, and will not be of any problem. Some windshield cleaner will do just fine, the blue fluid used in cars.
Once again, I hope these ramblings to to be helpful, and not just add to the problem. Issues of these kind, tend to foster a lot of wise comments, which of few turns up to pinpoint anything. You really need to trust your own gut guys.
Best of luck to both of you.
