I suspect it's more a problem with the connector on the phone, it could need a bit of a clean, try using a toothbrush on the phone's Fastport contacts, maybe soaked in an alcohol (not lager though!  ) type solution.

Try gently waggling the connector when plugged into the phone to see if it makes any difference. Also try waggling the wire on the faulty earpiece next to the earbud whilst it's in the ear, does that make any differnce at all either?

I had similar problem with my HPM70. The left speaker was louder than the right, and I cleaned the phone's connector. But in my case, it was not the headset, but the phone connector was dirty.

Definatley the headsets then - did you say you got them both from a dodgy shop in Bradford?
I wonder if the headsets are lower quality fake ones?

I have the same problem but my ones sorted after a bit of wiggling it around while it's plugged in. I think yours is just bad luck when it comes to buying headphones.
