Vocals usually more on the right side than left?

[asdfghjkzxcvbnm]

lol i never noticed any of this

 

[dhruvmeena96]

i have noticed this a lot in my earphone

bass and vocal on right side on my UIEM.
it is in my all iem

and i went to doctor and he told me that my ear are normal

i have to place the left more deeper and it starts paining.

i just need the bass the center

I notice the same thing, though it does vary from headphone to headphone.

 

[dhruvmeena96]

actually i fixed my KZ ES4 by a huge margin. and some of my iem

i noticed that on the left earpiece, pressure relieving port was smaller than right(KZ ES4)...

i just used a needle and tried to widen the hole without puncturing the vent

spinfit cp240 was used

and viola

fixed

its not the problem with our ears, but the ability to find problem before blaming ourselves

Thats interesting. I have also noticed this and started to question my equipment and then my hearing. Good to know I am not the only one.

wrong thread

I have to say, i found this very amusing since i was just googling this problem. I'd rather not create a new thread while an older thread remains. But i have the SAME DAMN ISSUE. Vocals always seem to be on the right side then in the center.

Really ****ing annoying! even with 4k systems.

Sometimes I realize that the recording is as such actually. The engineer pans the sound to one side during recordings. I guess if u swap earpieces and the sound goes to the other ear, or if it occurs with other IEMs/headphones, then it might be the recording itself. Of course if it persists on the same side, then best to see a doctor!

Yeah I was going to say, it's definitely the way it was recorded and intended by the engineer. Sometimes they prefer their music to be played on x kind of system or they just like to throw out weird positioning

Really is a shame, because as we have come to find out using headphones regardless of equipment price and it does nothing but annoy you.

Sad thing is it seems most songs are recorded this way

This song shows it well, do you guys get the same feeling? It seems to be louder on the right side and the vocals aren't centered but slightly to the right.

Yup it is leaning to the right. It just seems that's just how it was mastered unfortunately. Most music seems to be made for speakers.

Yep i realized and it sucks. Once you notice it with a good pair of headphones you cant ever forget it's not centered. It's very noticeable with high quality gear.

I thought I was going mad. I tried switching headphones and the same issue. Today I thought I'll do a google search and landed here, looks like I am not the only one.

 

[Someguy14201]

It seems you all have right ear dominance but it's the opposite for me, there's a bit more bass on the left for me lol. Good to know I'm not the only one.

I'm experiencing this too. Sometimes is the vocals and some instruments. To me this happens only in some songs or even in entire albums. It's weird because I feel that my right ear becomes more "tired" for the sound that is going predominantly there for a long time. I though it could be that the earbud is unbalanced because when I use another earbud I have (lower quality) all the sound becomes more central. But I still don't know because in the earbud that this happens when I change to mono audio the song becomes "central".

Sometimes I wonder if its unbalance or soundstage
