having the cans play constently over a period of days is a good idea, as is shorting the pins. I dont think your hearing is playing tricks on you. I have heard of many instances where this solves the imbalance problem. Leaving them unplugged and not playing is not something I have heard of.
UPDATE:
For today, I've been using the balance in my music playing software to compensate for the attenuation from the left channel. I've noticed that the attenuation gets smaller and smaller the longer I keep listening to them, and I can track/measure this because I have to adjust the balance closer to center. For a few glorious moments this evening, everything was centered.
However, after I put them down for a bit (without turning the amp off) and then returned to them, the left channel was attenuated again. I short the pins every couple of hours just to see if it changes anything, and it usually doesn't make a noticeable change, but I keep doing it anyways.
My hunch, after my experience today, is that they are just breaking in as the diaphragm works its way to the voltage it's supposed to be at. Hopefully that's all it is. I'm going to leave them playing for a few days, messing with the balance whenever I actually want to listen to them, and hopefully, everything should fix itself.
While it hasn't been totally fixed yet, at the very least, I've discovered that my issue isn't completely permanent right?
