Is this unhealthy...

LoonylionYou mean a balance control. An equaliser adjusts relative volume of different frequency bands. Balance control adjusts the bias to one side or the other.have you considered that you may be having hearing problems in one ear?

Ah! That's what I mean!
Thank you loony. :)

manaseaterbesides headphones are rather inexpensive-

To be honest the cheap ones usually aren't worth much. I Sennheiser 595 are totally awesome, they were $300 when I bought them but can probably be gotten for $150-$200 by now. I would highly recommend something at this quality level.

I buy headphones for R 45.Thats like $7.

My phones are $20 AKG Headphones. Surprisingly, they give excellent sound clarity because they're meant for listening to/assisting in recording music (AKG is a brand of microphone, after all)
