This is not so much to do with sound quality for once ( though i do want to address a little thingy about that too). and its not about a single pair of headphones. This is about issues across the board that I stugle with and have done so for years- given my sensitive nature to such things.:-
So i got me a pair of the DT990pro and yeah, they are nice*. And yeah, my last headphones have been £20 from amazon to get me though. And yup, I am an audiophile.
* no surprise that I am bleeding from how high they are. I just didnt think it would be this extreme. 2min and I have to rip them off my head and im in so much paiiinnnn. Thats fixable by getting something less bright.. but what really REALLY gets me is this..
despite being openbacks, it does not take me long for my ears to feel fatigue <- this is with no sound at all: completely uplugged. They clamp hard, yeah, but im not bothered by it much. Its the "sealing" feeling of the cups, the fact that I cant feel the outside gets to me. My last headphones have all been on ear, and before that it was over ear but very small so its was sort of on ear, and even then the cups were made of friken paper..
I mean, my friend has the sony WH-1000XM3 and GOOD LORD thats a fat no. I feel like i am 50m down underwater or in a plane. and dont even get me started on the noise canceling: as cool as it is.
so i think that over ear are not for me. maybe. I want them to be. Honestly its as if speakers are what i want but i get NOTHING from using speakers
honestly idk what i can do to be able to have good sound without suffering
as for the overkill on the high end on the dt990, it sucks that i cant deal with it because i make use of all that extra sound i can hear. Just, on my unnamed £12 sony's i can hear more of the mids and the base is quite clear, its really confusing. The base on these is nice, a boost from the amp and i get really clean immersive base that i looovee
anyway, the only things i dont like about these otherwise fine headphones is the highs and the fact that i can not use them without half dying. I want the details and properly done base for once but nothing doesnt hurt

before you shout at me- im not too much of an novice, just sadly deprived of much headphone experience. So I have powered them properly and have used an EQ to dull it a bit, but then the artists' aim for the music begins to lose its point.
