Switch the pads. See if the bass is still lacking on the left or did the problem switch to the right. If so the pad doesn't seal properly resulting in weak bass. Also switch the cable. I doub't that would be the reason, or if it even could be. But it takes 5 seconds to check so nothing to loose there. Also check that air vents on the side of the cups are open. There could be dirt or something blocking them. Hm5 is particularly sensitive in that sense..reduced airflow->reduced bass. Also open the headphones and check if there is something that looks wrong by comparing to the side that works properly.
If none of that helps I suppose there is not much you can do. If you really like your hm5 you could order jaycar pro monitor headphones if possible. Same headphones. Then you could use the drivers from jaycar with hm5 cups.

Have exactly the same problem as your's and that bugs somewhat. Check with the diaphragm shape. one driver diaphragm of my unit is a bit squeezed up
Trying to get hands on the driver somehow. i think the diaphragm shape can be pulled back to its shape. Does anyone know how to get into drivers after opening the cans?
On the contrary.. i notice the difference goes somewhat low when i burn d cans for ~15-20mins before giving it a listen

Attach tape to a q-tip or a match or something. Anything that is not metal would do I suppose. I once allmost destroyed expensive headphones doing this with a tape attached to a screwdriver. Who would have guessed that a strong magnet behind the driver pulls metal objects, such as screwdrivers, towards it...
If you can fit the q-tip through the center hole in front of the driver maybe you can get the tape attached to the diaphgram and carefully pull it up popping the driver back into it's correct position. If this could be done you would only have remove the pads instead of taking apart the headphones.

Some comparison with the Soundmagic HP100 and Shure SRH840? These can be considered an upgrade for HM5?

Are the HM5 the same and identical to the FA-003//Jaycar/Yoga cd-880/Lindy Premium Hi-Fi/(NVX XPT100) XTP, or do each have separate implementations and sound signatures?

I've had my eyes on the nvx xpt100 for a couple weeks now and almost pulled the trigger a couple times. The extra pads are a big draw as I can use them on many many HPs down the road and even some I have right now.
I started reading about the sennheiser 518 and am now considering those. I mostly listen to EDM/classical and they would probably be mostly used indoors.
Would the 518 be a better choice if the price among the 2 was the same?
