Hello, i have a weird issue with my IEM cables.

When i use my cables and a 3.5mm to lightning to my iphone, everything sounds okay. However when i use the same cables and plug it into any 3.5mm source, one side is much louder than the other. I have tried my iems with other cables and 3.5mm or lightning sound okay. so the only conclusion is that the channel imbalance is caused by my cables.

Is this a common problem or what else could be the issue?

thanks for your help!

Possibly odd shape of the 3.5 mm male jack causing a short? Maybe causing it not to be plugged in all the way with certain devices?

hmm i dont think so because i tried it with many other 3.5mm. not possible that all of the cant plug in properly while my lightning adaptor is fine.

Well it is possible, it's just not probable.

haha fair enough that makes sense. i guess its possible to re terminate my cables? but before i do that could there be another reason?
