I have a bit of a problem that I'm hoping someone can help me out with:
I sent my V6s to Sony about a week ago to have the right driver replaced. These headphones are about ten years old, so the left driver is well worn in. Sony replaced the broken right side with another driver (whether or not it is new or used, I don't know). My problem is that I hear a difference in volume between the two sides. The left side is a little louder than the right, which can be made louder by adjusting the balance on any sources.
Keeping in mind that the new driver was only installed about two weeks ago, and that I have used my headphones for around 15 hours since then, will the right driver become louder over time, or has Sony mismatched the drivers? I know that burning in headphones changes their sonic characteristics (depending on whom you ask and what headphones you're talking about, of course), but does it increase sheer volume?
Thanks for your help.
