Sennheiser HD25-1 II louder on the right side?

Hey ppl,

Have you ever feel that your Sennheiser HD25-1 II is louder on the right side?

I’ve actually thinked that I had some hearing loss on my left ear but I’ve changed the side of the cups and I get the same feel, the left ear has louder then the right.
I pretty sure that the right side, the one that has the cable, is about 60~80% louder then the other.

Have you ever felt this?
What do you think I should do?
Am I with a defect on the unit?

I just love my sennies, don’t want to lose them :open_mouth:

Never had that - i’ve had the slightly dodgy connection on one on the earpieces though (which is solved by pulling it out and pushing it back in again)

3

No.

By earpieces do you mean the red and the black at the cups?

5

If you’ve got hearing loss on the left side then the right should still be louder when you wear them back to front

6

Yeah, but I’ve said that I’ve changed the sides and the lowder side changed too, so I have no hearling loss (thank god :slight_smile: )

If this helps, I’m using the headphone with P2 connection and without any adapter pluged into my laptop’s headphone out…

I’m glad you posted this because I thought I had hearing loss damage in my left ear. Did you see if it was an issue with your soundcard though? I plugged the headphones directly into my laptop and I didn’t notice a difference (I even flipped headphones, did panning, lowered volume until I couldn’t hear, etc.).

Check that your pan is centered.

9

Yup, exactly that. The black connection is sometimes dodgy. But it’s easy to fix, just reseat the connector.

I did exactly the same as you and I still have the problem… I’m glad that you posted here, now I know that I’m not crazy at all.

The problem that you have is on the side of the cable or the other?

I’ve tested in my soundcard with the p2-p10 adapter provided, notebook, ipad and still same issue…

I’ve tested on winamp too, the same…

My pan is centered, was the first thing that I looked :wink:

What should we do? Join Sennies forums?

I’ve plugged both connectors in and out and I still hear the difference (but now is less difference, I think that my right hear is now tired and the volume are getting equal because of this.

I’m worried because to listen on the left side I have to up the volume and by doing that my right hear gets fattigated and this is dangerous to my hearing :disappointed:

What you guys think that I should do?

If I mix on mono at tracktor and adjust the pan to get the same level on both sides it can be harmful to the sound quality on big systems?

And, I didn’t find the Sennheiser forum, I think that it doesn’t exist :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: I’ve mailed Sennheiser Service suport and pointed them to this topic, let’s see what will happen :disappointed:
