So I have had this amazing head set for over a year and I’m very happy with it. Recently, I started having a problem where if I turn the volume knob, I start hearing crackling and I have to literally slowly turn the volume knob until sound is equal and thorough in both ears because when I turn it all the way up, the sound is lower in the left ear, so then I slowly turn it until its equal...
I have had many people with the same problem and I also have this problem with my blackshark v2. It seems to be happening to people with a certain model. The audio starts to shift to the right headphone when I put it above 50% and completely shifts to the right side when the knob is at max volume. It also starts to crackle wehn I put it above 80%.
Actually found a temporary fix for this. I just twisted the knob for like 5 minutes and fixed the issue. It also improved the audio quality from doing this.
I’m having this issue as well. Below the 50-60% mark I get left ear only. Above that I get both sides. I’m assuming it’s just bad QC and parts wearing out rather than a driver issue.

damn that works thanks bro
Just chiming in to say the same thing has been happening to me for 6 months and is suddenly getting worse. Crackling/No left audio is now happening when I adjust the headband (possbibly shifting the volume knob or internal left ear circuitry).
I’m close to taking the pads off and seeing if I can resolder the volume knob/replace it with some kind of simple cheap potentiometer, but good to see that I’m not the only one with this problem
