I have purchased a couple things through MassDrop for others, but this si the first for me. The HiFiMan HE-350 openback headphones I bought sound terrible. They are unbalanced in terms of output from one can to the other and they are way too bright in sound. I was really looking forward to these as a slight upgrade to my Grado SR60i headphones, but there is simply no comparison. The Grados are much better.
Is there a possibility to return these or am I stuck with a bad experience from MassDrop?

PDXFIXChange pads to HM5 Pleather/Velour/whatever material you like Do the bass sticker mod Pad the headphones with paper towel/tissue paper (use half crescent moon/circle cutouts, search through comments) Use AMP+DAC (yes, it will sound better for some reason) Burn in at least 80+ hours Use an equalizer or be lazy and use DFX Audio Enhancer ????? ????? Profit...

philiprockarI have been doing that. I'm most disappointed with the unbalanced sound. The left can is just louder than the right. Regardless of whether I switch the plugs. We will see what happens after hours of use. I have no choice but to be optimistic.

6EQUJ5Thanks for the info. I will look into what improvements can be made since returning them is not an option.
