Hi !
I want to eventually get good headphones (currently have a logitech G930 "gaming" headset), but first i have a question about ear fatigue.
Short story: When i listen to music in stereo, either with my wife's sennheiser HD555 or with my logitech G930 headset, i quickly get ear fatigue and headache after more or less 1 hour of listening. However, if i put my logitech G930 in "surround mode", which trick my head into feeling the music come from all around the room instead of from the headphones, i get no fatigue/headache at all, even after 3+ hours of listening. (at a cost of denaturalising the music).
What can explain that ? Would getting decent headphones help with fatigue ? Does it have something to do with soundstage ? (since both the G930 in stereo mode and the HD555 have poor soundstage as i read).
