i've got a sennheiser 431 that got droped it still works but there's no low end. could it be the electronic or is it the capsule
thanks

Most likely the capsule, as if something mechanical has shifted. Other than that, there's not much more than a transformer and a connector to think about...

Yes, most likely the capsule.

Did the grill get dented at all? Sometimes inner pop-filtering material can get moved and touch the diaphragm - this can cause bass loss.

Open it up and have a look.
 
no dent on the grille,it looks pertty normal inside. does it make sense to send it to Sennheiser for repair or just get another one ?

Assuming it is an MD431 and not an MD421, I would buy another one from Ebay. You can sometimes get them cheap from Germany.

No harm asking Sennheiser how much a repair would be though.

Bloody hell. They are expensive! I can remember turning one down for £25 before.

I think the BF 531 might be the Black Fire equivalent .
