Review Of Sennheiser HZR Headphone's Balance Adjustment, Aug 16 2008
By Paul N. Nix - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Sennheiser HZR-62 Stereo Volume Control for Headphones (Electronics)
The Sennheiser HZR headphone balance adjustment is what you need if you're bothered by problems with an unbalanced (left-right) audio source and you're listening with a device that doesn't incorporate a balance control (I'm surprised at how common a problem this is).The Sennheiser unit isn't cheap (about thirty dollars) but it's well built and it does the job.
The unit is purely passive and it functions by virtue of being composed of two ('left' and 'right') 'slide' type potentiometers in the signal path. When at 'maximum' the controls appear as resistances across the left and right audio paths but at too high a resistance to be any kind of a problem.
As the 'sliders' are brought down (to reduce the volume of either the left or right channels) the output (towards the headphones) is brought nearer the ground side of the audio channels in a Voltage-divider type configuration.
As long as you've got more than enough volume to drive your headphones then this Sennheiser unit will give you essentially infinite adjustment range over the relative volumes of the left and right channels.
I've found the device sufficiently convenient such that I've recently purchased a second unit (because the first one is being employed in a relatively long-term application).

Very good unit, but wish the headphone wire/jack was detachable!, Mar 21 2009

Love this! Great unit for its intended purpose, which is to give ANY set of regular wired earbuds or headphones the ability to control the volume "balance" between the left and right ears. Excellent for anyone who may have some hearing loss in one ear, or varied levels of loss in both ears. You can customize the exact volume level for each ear to adjust the brain's perception of incoming audio in each ear.However, I would much prefer that the wire/headphone jack part that is permanently tethered to the "balance" main unit was DETACHABLE. The wire is WAY too long, and needlessly clunky and in the way when trying to actually use the unit. Wish there were a short separate wire supplied to use for audio input instead. If this were the case my rating would have been five stars.

Now I can adjust the volume on my pillow speakers without disturbing anyone!!, May 6 2009

I had this problem where I like to listen to the radio while I fall asleep, and my wife wants absolute silence while she's falling asleep.What to do? I bought a set of pillow speakers, but I found it really annoying to have to get up and get to the radio to adjust volume and balance (so that only one of the speakers will work, the one my ear is over). With this control, I can lie down on the pillow after cranking the volume on the radio, then turn the volume down and adjust the volume just right for the pillow speakers without getting up.
Now I can turn on my favorite station, climb in bed, tweak the volume, and go to sleep. Great product and worth every penny!
