I have become a great advocate of using crossfeeds with headphones. I "discovered" crossfeed when I bought my Meier-Audio StageDac which, of course, has cross feed. This is the only crossfeed I have ever used so I cannot comment on any other. However I believe this brings great improvements for headphone listening and certainly will help reduce long term listening fatigue.
I know there are software crossfeeds but I have never tried one. That might be worth investigating.
If you're listening to headphones it's most likely due to loudness or super-stereo, if I find the link I will edit my post but I read that the fact that headphones are completely independant from each other (speakers have a natural crossfeed) the brain takes much more energy into analyzing and interpreting the sound which causes listening fatigue.
