Hi I just got my ATH-m50 and I'm a new to the high-end headphones and was wondering best ways to take care of headphones and how to break it in. Any suggestions would help.
 
Also it sounds like my left year isn't producing as much noise. Is that a problem?

I suggest playing music through your new headphones for a few days at a listenable but loud volume. This subject is referred to as burn-in, and there are various ways it is done. Then listen again.

Would the burn-in help with the left ear sounding low?

There are other possible solutions, but burn-in needs to be done and "may" correct the problem. Check the balance setting on your equalizer. Check your hearing by putting the headphones on backwards to see if the same side of the headphones still sounds lower. Change your music selection to eliminate it from being the culprit. Change what you're plugging your M50 into. It is possible the headphones are the cause - even after all of this, but you won't know until you try.
