Can some of you measure the resistance of the drivers in your HE-500? I have a pair of HE-5LE and the drivers measure 46.7-ohms and 46.5-ohms. The HE-500 I received last week measures 33.6-ohms on the right driver and 42.9-ohms on the left driver.
In comparing the 5LE and the 500, I can't hear any difference in the left-to-right balance despite the large difference in the 500 driver resistance. Typically you would expect the drivers on any pair of phones to measure about the same and I have never measured any phones that were as far apart as my 500.
I contacted Head Direct this past Monday but I haven't had an answer from Fang as to whether the measurement on my 500 is typical or indicates a problem. If some of you measure yours I think it will answer whether or not my 500 is ok or needs to be replaced. Thanks in advance.
