I have a Status CB-1 I was given for free. It has no bass in one ear. We looked at the electrical wiring and it appears fine. Could it be a damaged driver?

My hearing is fine.

Are you able to swap the cable around? In other words move the left channel to the right? It's probably a damaged blown driver. Do you notice distortion?

If you looked at the wiring and it's fine, then it's not faulty. You can rule that out. Other things you could try are swapping the earpads, earpads can affect the sound adversly. make sure there are no loose/missing screws in the diaphragm that holds the drivers in place. Check that the cable/cable connection is not damaged.

I have a feeling that you have simply a defective pair. But just to make sure can you name me songs where you hear the bass "only in one ear"?

Any music I try that has anything below 200 Hz or so.

I'm assuming the driver is damaged at this point. I've never encountered a headphone to do that before, though.

I'm not sure, but the sound quality is poor in that ear. It sounds like one of those cheap piezo horn tweeters.

check you wires if everything connected properly.
