Giogio,
Thanks so much for the reply and thanks for the recommendation! The subject of high end headphones just isn't something I can really chat about with people in my real life, because in truth, most every day people I'm around don't care (this forum has been quite satisfying!)
Currently I have a ringing in my ear and it's because I found some wired headphones I bought at guitar center 2 days ago. It seems that I need a louder volume with over the ear headphones because i'm so use to using in ear. I think this might cause me problems on the future. Sorry to be a little off topic but if you don't mind, I'd like hear your thoughts on this. Thanks! I posted the thread here.
I'm thinking that over the ear may not be suitable for me, as much as I want them to so badly! Especially bluetooth.
Yes, you should try to come back to normal volume. I know what you mean, it happens to me too. Specially with some headphones which give their best only ad loud volume (probably due to the kind and dimension of drivers used). I get used and then it is an escalation.
This is not healthy. It is known that it may cause hearing problems in the future.
So, try to avoid very loud volume.
The key is buying headphones which with normal volume are able to give the sound you need. For example, headphones with a very good rendering of the frequencies you like the most.
So, the Fidelio also at low volume have a gentle rumble which is absent in most other headphones even at louder volumes.
Then, you could EQ them to increase just the frequencies you like the most. So you do not need to make them too loud to give you enough of those frequencies.
And then, you need headphones with good passive (or active) noise cancelling.
The Fidelio have a very good passive NC.
The Plantronics have a good passive and decent active NC, which together make them also very good.
The Samsung are even better but they do not have much bass.
Some of the new headphones coming soon have also ANC. Like the Momentum Over Ear....
