Make sure you aren’t using the same wire.

I’ve had channel imbalance before on some beyerdynamics that was due to a bad cable. I was correcting it manually for months. I bought a cheap Chinese cable out of curiosity, and viola!, the headphones sounded perfect.

Reply to AirPods Max custom tuning by ThUwUsi

Yo, for me the tuning is perfect. Maybe you got a defective pair? Everyone’s ears are different, however, so it’s a tough thing to discern sometimes.

Are you using them on Apple devices?

Reply to Name only one track to evaluate headphones with and provide three reasons why this is the one! by thor_Alf

I have 2.

  1. “London Dungeon” - Misfits

There are a lot of background noises in this recording that cannot be heard through most speakers. There is a good amount of echo and spaciousness in the track which gives a good indication of soundstage and imaging (I should feel like I’m outside with wind rushing past me). I know the track well and know exactly what I’m looking for. There is growling and background vocals that just aren’t audible on most headphones and speakers.

  1. “Hide” - FKA twigs

Her music is masterfully recorded, and I could pick any of her songs to demonstrate imaging, but my favorite is this one. About halfway through the song, there is some shuffling sound that, on a good set of headphones, fools me into thinking there is someone in another room behind me messing with stuff. There are other sounds in the song that also sound like they’re coming from other rooms to my left and right. If it fools me and freaks me out, then I know the headphones have good capability.

This isn’t the recording I’m talking about, but the song is hott. To hear the one I’m talking about, you gotta find the studio recording.
