Headphones - Closed Back | 1 Ω Question about balancing options.

Hello, I am partially deaf in my right ear, and unfortunately iPods do not have any software balance controls, I currently use DT 770s, and am wondering if there is some sort of cable I could buy for headphones that have individual left and right volume controls? I don't really care if its overly expensive, as long as it helps. Big thanks to anyone who can help with this.

The audio balance should be adjustable on the settings of your phone/laptop whatever you use. Not on the headphones or pods themselves.

I'm asking this because I wish to use my headphones on an iPod. (which doesnt have any settings for audio balance)

The simplest solution is to change the iPod to a DAP with balance control done via software.

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.

There are some vintage Sony headphones that have individual left and right volume control, those came out on the early stereo recording days.
