Could be moisture build-up if they are IEMs. Your brain could also just be getting used to the sound

That’s unfortunate. I mainly just listen to YouTube videos on my phone and use my desk setup for music. I do store all my music files on iTunes though so I could use eq for that

The problem is that I use my arias on-the-go with my phone, so open back headphones are out of the question. I do see your concern though. I’d say I’m pretty vigilant with volume, so I’m not sure that excess volume is the problem. Maybe I’ll try bone conduction “headphones” next

Thanks for the tip. I pretty much only use the arias with my phone, but I’m sure there is some sort of system-wide eq for the iPhone

That makes sense. Maybe I could try to actively get over the overwhelming feeling of the isolation
