*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** I checked out some headphones yesterday - the whole sennheiser line. I liked the HD420's but I loved the 430's so I decided to splurge. One question though - how do you tell the right from the left side? My guess is by colors - red is right. Is this right???

I have seen two different amplifiers whose headphone jacks were wired opposite from each other. Thus, the only sure way to tell which channel is which is to use your balance control: turn it all the way to the right, say, and remember the color of the earpiece which is sounding.
