Wow, sorry to hear that.... I have no idea what could cause this. Hopefully someone will be able to help.
What do you mean by 'measure'? I'm pretty sure they were damaged when I purchased them....and from one of our forum members yet. If you look at my posts from the start I was always complaining about the lack of bass with them. The other frequencies don't seem to be affected other than slightly less volume. What a bummer!!!! And what an idiot I am for never having compared the sides independently before.
It took me weeks to find the proper adjustments for perfect seal, annoying...
The low range and sometimes the highs played hide and seek. My head is not that big so I had to adjust the headband to its smallest size and find the right position on my head for the headband. After that I checked the seal and pressed the ear cups on my ears to let loose again and I checked again if I could hear outside noises. When the seal is good you will hear close to nothing of your surroundings.
Even so, I do not like the ear cup and ear padding design for the DT48E. The AKG K240 or even the Sennheiser HD-monitor headphone series solutions are miraculous. If you have ever had a HD265/280 or K240 variant on your head you know what I mean. Even the Monitor 10 seems to function better than the DT48E solution.
I will stop now because it annoys me as to why Beyerdynamic chose the solutions it has chosen for the DT48E. "...!"
I am having the same issue with the right side bass. I know I need new pads. I bought them knowing this issue existed. After looking at them closely I see that the inner pad has come loose from around the hole for the driver. Can new inner pads be installed or am I stuck with this?
Is Trew Audio Store still the cheapest reliable distributor of replacement DT48E "cushions" in the US?
Thanks
