Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

Hey Shannon, I just noticed that my earphones are "broken" and the left side is playing at a lower volume than the right earpiece. I don't know how long this has been going on. Would this volume difference between left and right earphone affect the sub's effects?

It's likely not your headphones.

I've reported on this issue for a long time, it's present with all of Shannon's subs I've tried. I've tried multiple different sources, different headphones/speakers, all the same thing. The right side is several decibels louder than the left. Shannon didn't seem to think it was the case, but it's so prevalent I think he just hasn't realised is all.

Just know that it's likely your headphones are fine, and it's an issue with the files themselves. I personally just use my EQ, and take a little bit of volume off the right side to balance it. As it can annoy me at times being off centre.

Well I actually listened to music with them, and tried it with different headphones on the same phone, and put the headphones on my computer. It still indicated it was the headphone's problem. Tongue

I didn't know shannon's files do that already though?

The files don't do that on some players, and do it on others, apparently. It does not happen on my players. Part of what I do in creating them is channel equalization, so I don't know how it could be the files.
