If any of you uses spotify, I just noticed the compression algorithm they use in the streaming produces "enhanced" treble when compared to FLAC or properly ripped mp3 version of the same songs. I tested playing the FLAC/mp3 both with iTunes and with Spotify itself (it can also play local files), with the same results.
So listening to Spotify through the K550, or any other headphones with a lot of treble and resolution might reveal these artefacts added by Spotify and produce piercing and hurting highs like I've been experiencing.
