Guys, in the spaciousness test on bronze ears(left/right balance test), did you notice any difference between right 2 and left 2 in terms of volume and tonal balance?

I'm afraid I'm experiencing channel imbalance with my HE-500.

It could be your ears! I know I have a slight 'channel imbalance' in my ears both volume and timbre/tone. Depending on the recording I sometimes use channel balance in software to even it out (it's slight, but there)

I tried switching the sides and it followed the driver. However, I tried with my other headphones and it seems the issue persists. Maybe it's my amp and/or DAC?

Doubtful it's the DAC, but many amps have channel imbalance at low volumes. My magni does, but it's lower than I normally listen at

 

[Okamoto]

Seems it's not the amp either. Switched to Mjolnir and the "issue" persists. Since it happens with my other phones too, could it be it's just the recording? Can anyone confirm this to me?

Right side just sounds lower quality to me, besides being quieter.

I do suffer from this myself, so if you could tell me more specifically about what software you use I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I use JRiver (parametric EQ, volume adjust).

I think I can hear it too, but I suspect my own hearing (FitEar ToGo 334 + CEntrance DACport)... despite passing "Golden Ears". Why not drop an e-mail to them (there's an e-mail address on the "Golden Ears" site) and ask them about it?

I got through the basic section on my sh!tty work PC running audio through a set of $18 logitech PC speakers with only 2 incorrect answers
 
Will try again when i get time at home running it through my STX/Intruder/HE-400.

Same here. No idea what the problem is.

It only worked for me after installing the latest version of Firefox

I did that and still get the perpetual "Loading" message.

Guess you've already tried it, but did you empty all history, cache, etc? Usually works for me for all sorts of strange broweser problems. Good luck!

The only one in the Golden Ear test I can't get past is that frequency band part!
I will need to read up and understand it better I think. I got everything else though.
