The exact same would apply to Grado headphones. Pretty terrible to use long-term, but act like magnifiers for flaws in the mixing process.
I had an interesting experience using my Grados to play Ratchet & Clank on the Playstation. They made it easy to distinguish small details in the tornado of sounds during the big battles, enabling me to literally "play by ear", but in a good way.
But yes, tiring.
I like the planar magnetic cans a lot more.
- mark-r 9y agoI'm listening to Grado SR80's right now. I bought them after I fell in love with the SR60's, which I now keep at work. I've never found them tiring, but I probably don't listen for more than an hour at a time.
