I went through three pairs of SE215s, the non-removable cable broke after a little more than a year on every pair. The warranty is one year. Never again.

My SMSL VMV D1 runs pretty warm even when idle, too.

I legit really like him and that kind of music.

clown core is great! No need to be embarrassed. You're welcome to follow me, here's my profile. Lots of other good/weird stuff in there.

I don't know how much noise music you've heard, but this live piece from Otomo Yoshihide is fantastic. I love seeing how the sounds get made, something you really miss when listening to a recording instead of seeing it live.

Some stuff I've been real into, in no particular order. I have a wide taste in music and enjoy difficult things, so, fair warning.

• Dawn of Midi: Dysnomia. Jazz that sounds like trance techno.
• Fartbarf: Dirty Power. Electronic; vintage synths with live drums.
• Charles Bradley: No Time for Dreaming (RIP). Soul. If you don't listen to a single other thing on my list, go check out his cover of Stay Away; it's fantastic.
• The DROiDS: The Droids. Alternative/indie/darkwave.
• Igorrr: Nostril. Hard to put a genre on, they self-describe as "baroquecore." The soul of the thing is, I guess, experimental operatic breakcore extreme metal.
• Osamu Kitajima: Benzaiten. 70s Japanese psychedelic folk rock.
• Thy Catafalque: Vadak. Hungarian operatic folk metal.
• Against Evil: End of the Line. Thrash metal from India.
• Converter: Coma. Powernoise.
• Controlled Bleeding: Larva Lumps and Baby Bumps. Experimental / noise rock.
• Doomtree: No Kings. Rap.
• clown core: van. Hard to put a genre on this, just give it a listen. If you like it, check out their music videos.
