Hi, your headphones are showing an imbalance that only appears when connected to your MacBook Pro. The issue seems to disappear when using your phone. You've already tried charging, re-pairing, and adjusting settings on the Mac. Since the problem started with your new 4-month-old headphones, it might be related to a recent setup or compatibility change. Let me know if you'd like further guidance.

The devices are set up as a "headset" rather than headphones. I resolved the issue by testing calls through Facetime or Google Meet, which helped confirm the correct mode. The auto-switching sometimes didn<|pad|>, and mono headset settings caused audio problems.

Have you attempted a wired connection? Does the problem persist after using a wired setup?

It doesn't appear to work when connected via wires, or it seems less obvious compared to wireless.

I encountered an issue with my Bluetooth headphones related to a phone-oriented Bluetooth setting. In the Control Panel, navigate to Devices and Printers, select your headphones, then go to the services tab. Disable Handsfree Telephony and apply the changes. If this doesn't resolve the problem, you can undo the steps. I included a picture for your reference.

Thanks for the reply. I'm experiencing the problem on a Mac, but I'm comfortable with Windows, so I should be able to locate comparable settings.

Thank you for the feedback! To resolve this, navigate to Tools -> Audio Options in MacOS. The setting should be adjustable via a toggle.

The default audio balance for the headphones was updated, likely related to call handling. The issue is resolved temporarily—thank you for your assistance!
