The peaks even get a little broader. Two of the peaks span entire octaves:

Heh, time for hd650's I guess.

more like the ER4S, have you seen the channel balance graph of those things ? its like 0.1% difference :O

well i guess the loud volume was the culprit

I am not going to say right now that is the only problem, ill be sure to pay more attention to my listening habits, but it's true I got used to the loud volume without even noticing it.
on the echo indigo dj card there is a volume knob that you can turn, it takes about 5 'slides' with my finger to move it from lowest (completely silent) to highest volume, 1 slide is enough to make it comfortable, but the pain was occuring when it was at the 4th slide or so, i guess I just wasn't paying attention

ill be sure to let you guys know any developments, interesting that a lot of other people feel pain too, even with different headphones.

Thanks

I am noticing the dull ache too on my HF'1's in comparison to the SR80's I used to have welded to my ears. Perhaps burn-in would help.
