Have you tried Equalizer APO rather than built in windows balance to drop the volume in your ear with better hearing?

Oh, definitely quite expensive, but does pay for itself eventually in electricity costs saved.

Which is why having a solar+battery backup is nice to have.

Equalizer APO that doesn't have the Peace GUI tacked on. [I don't like Peace]

It was 350 dollars, and a DAC/Amp, not just an amplifier.

I mean, losing something you enjoy is always going to make you sad. Then not enjoying your replacement headphones is only going to compound on that.
You don't need something crazy, just something decent and most importantly comfortable.

Open Back: HD 6XX
Closed Back: K371
IEM: ER2XR
TWS: N400
Desktop DAC/Amp: JDS Labs Element(1st gen)
Portable DAC/Amp: Creative SXFI
Overall satisfaction: Honestly lost a lot of interest in other IEMs. Etymotics just win the comfort compared to the typical like 5.5mm nozzle IEMs. HD 6XX are good enough. K371 aren't my favorite(comfort could be a lot better if they had deeper earpads), but no pressing urge to replace.
AKG N400 is I think the item I'm the least happy with, despite using them a bit. Sound is solid, but passive isolation is terrible, ANC is a bit wonky, short term comfort is fine, but long term comfort is lacking, and I wish I wish I wish that there was a swipe-back command option to turn ANC on/off on the left earbud, since there is a swipe-forward you can use for talkthru/ambient mode toggle.
JDS Labs Element honestly has given me zero issues, looks great, don't see a reason to replace for a long time. Creative SXFI dongle doesn't seem the most power efficient, as it gets a bit warm in use, and phone battery drain gets a little high. Wouldn't MIND replacing it, but until it breaks or gets lost, not going to spend money on something else.

Reply to Where to get hifi quality music files? by C00LSJ
My personal methods are Bandcamp, and buying CDs and ripping them to .flac files.
Though bulk of my listening is lossy via spotify.

Reply to Will putting a wireless modmic on an open back planar be detrimental to the sound? by DeathbyBambii
Magnets are a bit weaker than the planar magnets, and even the small gap from the magnet to the vents is enough to dramatically weaken magnet strength to not be an issue.
