I had some wiring issues with a M50 and just got it back from the factory after they fixed it under the warranty.
now however, it seems like the channels are playing wrong. after watching a movie with it today on my laptop, i noticed the voice is much stronger on the right than left for all the videos i tried. it's also similar with some of the songs i played. with the generic ipod headphones the channels are balanced.
i tried playing with the balance setting in OSX, if i set the balance to all in the left channel, it would play only the left side. if i set it to all right channel, it plays both left and right (i expect it to be only right).
another test i did with some test audio files i found here

in the zip, there is mono, left and right.
with my ipod headphones, mono plays both side, left is left, right is right. this is what i expect to happen
with the m50s, mono plays right, left is left, right is both.
i did similar tests with my phone instead of laptop, and the results are the same.
does this seem like the factory people screwed up the wiring?
how easy is it to fix it myself?
thanks
