Just wondering if anything can give me advice on my newly acquired HD650s.
I got them off ebay, used, the owner said it was burnt-in for around 100hours. Today when I tried it, the first thing I noticed was my right side was a lot more audible than my left side. I played around with the gain setting on my amp, made sure it was set to high, tweaked the volume knob, played around a bit with the positioning of the handband and where the speakers are to my ears, making sure they're in relatively positioned correctly.
At first I thought it was just that my right ear was hearing better than my left, but I flip-flopped the two drivers and the right speaker is still louder (slight but notice-able). I've tried to open up the foam and clean out any hairs, which there weren't any, it's very clean. I'm wondering if this is a sign of bad driver mismatching or is it too early to call? Should I continue to burn these in or should I look for a local shop to have them checked out at?
