As the title says, I would like to find headphones where the sound can be put at different levels in the right and left ear. Reason for this is A) I’m a DJ B) I damaged the hearing in my right ear with idiotic earphone use as a kid (think volume on high with only the right side inserted). With adjustable headphones, I might be able to monitor the sound levels better.

Does anyone know of good headphones that would work? Would I ever be able to get them without paying a mint?
