Flat tuned studio headphones care about the L and R channel unless they're symmetrical

In the episode No. 37, the OLLO Audio founder, Rok Gulič talks the importance of distinct L and R channels with S5X studio headphones.
How things can go wrong if you're not aware of the changes a simple flip introduces to your monitoring setup? Your mix translation when you're mixing and referencing with headphones can get worse if you're using L and R headphones cups reversed.

Great video, very interesting indeed !

Interesting thoughts. I was listening to my church's livestream mix and fiddling with the L-R. I discovered the feed between the board and the video had been swapped when I tried to pan a channel. That was a surprising discovery. Maybe I should have mirrored the video instead...

So there is no L/R on the S4X, they are identical and be switched, right?

@@ErixSamson yes. You can swap l r cable and have ot go behind your back, away from working area.
