Glad mine was ok the first time round. But I'm treating it veerrrrrry nicely and delicately.
Are Planar Magnetics known to be more delicate than dynamics?

I had problems with my 400i. First it was a imbalance between drivers. The second pair had some kind of rattling/klicking sound on one side. The third pair was ok. My HE500 that I bought less than one week ago have channel imbalance. So it doesn't seem to matter if it is the new or the old models.

how can i check if i have that problem?
it seems that on some tracks the vocals and bass are more present on the left side.
i flipped the HP (putted the left cup on my right ear and the right cup on my left ear) and then the right side was louder.
should i switch the cables? i mean connect the left side on the right and the other way around?
Are the headphone being damaged during shipment? The odds of getting two headphones with channel imbalance issues is really low or you really have some bad luck. I've only have channel imbalance issues with two 6JD8/6922 tubes in my Ember, never had headphones with imbalance issues.
Sorry to hear (read) that muxamed... Good luck with your current setup and also with next purchases !
I know for a fact the cables for Hifiman IEMs are dodgy... any QC problems I should be aware of for their headphones? The 400i cable seems plenty sturdy.
You can reverse channels to see if the left channel keeps the higher volume. You can also do some testing using this page:
