Hello! Been lurking around the forum for a couple weeks and was hoping to get alittle advice. I'm new to the higher end headphone scene and I just bought a pair of Senn's HD555 and have been using them for an hour or two per day for the last 7 days or so. I've also been burning them in overnight when not in use.
I play them through my Creative Fatality X-Fi Sound Card on my computer. I really love the way they sound but my ear drums are quite sore and I have periods of soreness throughout the day even when not listening to them. My hearing is fine and I barely play them above 35%-40% or so.
I just can't seem to listen to them for very long without my ears aching. With my old Steelseries 3h cans I never had this problem.
Is this normal? Do most people experience this and will this get better or do I need different head phones?
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
