Gettin used to headphone sound?

Hi

I just got some super.fi 5 pros ive been lsitening to them there great but after about a fews time listening to them the sound has dulled down somewhat. does your brain get used to them? cos they dont sound as good as my first try with them. my hearing is a bit less sharp after using them awell.

Geez, you have them way too loud then.
Turn it down, ***.

Headphones will give loads more volume than speakers to your ears and you must be careful.

I am finding this with the Shure SE530s - I do think that you get used to the sound,clarity etc. Only by going back to an old pair do you get reminded of just how good they are and the Shure's really are good!
