If you suffer from reduced hearing in one ear, and still want to enjoy using headphones, then this is the product for you. Why headphone manufacturers dont make set with a balance setting I'll never know....but this does it for you. There maybe a little loss of top end volume, but it's not noticable. If your hearing gets worse....just alter the balance. I would recommend this product to anyone. I will continue to use it as I loose my hearing, but continue to enjoy music!
