I think the sander offers a different sonic quality due to its method of operation that makes it a fair comparison for preference again just my opinion

HIgh End Sony Maybe even thier Professional Series - Look at MDR Z7M2

Specially designed drivers

How else do these headphones produce sound so accurately and powerfully? For one, the dynamic drivers are huge — 70mm to be exact. And new to this second-generation model: strong, aluminum-coated diaphragms that can move fluidly.

Sony also included a supersized neodymium magnet that doubles the circumference of the magnet used in the original MDR-Z27. That means the large, ultralight diaphragms start and stop quickly to reproduce mids and vocals with even greater precision and detail.

Rather than use a traditional grille, Sony opted for a Fibonacci pattern that helps keep air flowing in a specific way that lowers resonance.

It also helps produce smoother highs without harsh peaks.

Large vents on the bottom of both ear cups help accentuate the bass.

To be honest for the price of some of the best headphones I’ve ever heard I would be hard-pressed to choose the venerable HD 600 over them.

and just as a general guidance, these aren’t like talking about Sony XM fives or something this is like they’re very high-end, audiophile grade level headphone line

I don't get why people find this funny. Like it's a clothing company. They're not seriously in the headphone game. It's just some OEM stuff that they're putting their brand on. They don't give a crap if the specs are listed correctly. This is like going to Disney World and buying a shirt there and it's not the quality you expect for the high price you paid. You're really swinging at low hanging fruit here.

Play your music in mono and see whether or not the sound is leaning to one side. If that is the case, I got bad news for you:

Channel imbalance has come to haunt your headphone.

Can be a driver issue, or a simply a pad issue.

I once ordered Dekoni pads for my 660S and one was a lot deeper than the other, so the sound was tilted more towards the shallower ear pads.

To verifiy, whether ot not it is the pads, simply switch them (if possible) between left ant right. And if the sound now leans to the other side, its the pads. If not, its the drivers and you should put in a warranty claim.
