I just had this problem with the HD555 today, the left cup was louder. Do all brand's headphones have some imbalance problem, or is it just sennheiser?

Over a year ago I bought the HD650 and after few months I noticed, that the right side was louder. (This is very obvious when I turn the headphones the other way round on my head). The shop replaced the HD650 for me and at first I didn´t notice anything and kept on living...
But now I noticed this same exact thing, the right side is LOUDER again!
I´ve also noticed this same annoying thing with my HD600, that´s one of the reasons why I actually bought the HD650. What is it with these Sennheiser headphones? Do they just suck? Or am I just very very unlucky? Or is it just "all in my head"?
So perhaps I have solved somebody's issue with poor L or even poor R performance that happens without static and randomly. I assume since these clips see a lot of random movements with headphones being dropped and the use of the cords being inserted with too much force that they naturally come loose like that. Or will I be flamed by a few?
I really needed to reply to this thread. Necro this because it is important. For those who don't read just skip to the bottom somewhere.
I ran into the issue of imbalanced hearing on my HD650's. But I wouldn't accept this. These are quite expensive and quite impressive. I have no warranty. What I do have is not a lack of hearing, but analyzing power!

If anybody still owns these headphones, dust them off and get ready to fix them. Dissect them fully on L and R. Look at the drivers themselves. They are being held in place by four plastic arms. For my headphones these four arms weren't even locking down the driver. I initially didn't see this, but what led me to that was the female connection wasn't lining up right. I took the speaker and thumbed down with a good bit of force on the drivers plastic housing. If you have success as I did, the four small plastic arms resting around your driver will click over-top its plastic housing and of course putting the driver in its correct position. So knowing full well my L speaker wasn't even in place properly and by seeing it alone it appeared this was the fix. I was right. Feels so good to be right, you know? But then this leads one to the R side, and even that side wasn't fully seated into its plastic locking arms.
