If its not a source issue and always the same side. You should check the nozzles and make sure oneside isn't holding an ooze of earwax.

It's a little hard to describe because I don't produce that much and when I do earwax in my nozzles its more of like a rocky crystal rather than a soft goop. But I know people can have that issue with buds and IEM's. Could be one ear is over producing it and is muffling the audio on one side.

I would say that it’s probably only true for the very early batches. My first pair had a driver failure but my replacement has had no issues despite treating them a bit roughly. But I don’t get the issues with the headband snapping, I doubt it’ll happen with daily use unless you purposely try to break it. The main issue is probably with the earlier batches having loose hinges which is what many reviewers have pointed out and I also experienced it with my first pair.

Yeah I’m not sure why I dislike them specifically. I love other headphones with some treble veil, like the HD650s and I don’t know why the 900 Pro X sounds so bland and lifeless in comparison. It reminded me of how treble heavy headphones sound after putting toilet paper in front of the driver.

Wasn’t a huge fan of the aesthetics either, they looked a bit like they had an identity crisis wether they’re studio or gaming headphones.
