hey guys, i was wondering if anyone else has this weird issue where when i plug in my over ear headphones my sound balance goes very weird as if the stereo is only playing the left side of the music and the right sounds very far away. i am currently using a samsung galaxy s3 running the 4.1.3 software as 4.3 still isnt available for me yet.

i worked out if i switched to mono it gets better but remains fairly quiet, and if i move the balance all to the right the sound is relatively normal in my over ear headphones.

now here is where it gets weird when i change headphones to my in ear ones and change the sounds settings back.. everything works as normal and as it should.

at first i thought maybe my headphones where the problem but i tried my second set of over ear headphones and the problem occurs then.

the sound is also fine when i play the music out of my stereo using an aux cable. it seems to only be an issue with over ear headphones.
