I didn't know people who were into mechanical keyboards cared about their hearing

here's a headphone ranking list from a dude who's even more into IEMs

the popular budget headphones around here tend to be the Koss KSC75

If you have windows or macos, you can really get into how folks evaluate headphones with this app

the thing we do differently here is share frequency response graphs and make jokes about them. a lump in one place means boomy, move it and it's shouty, etc.

Getting a mechanical keyboard after having opened back headphones was such a mistake...

Can't listen to music and type at all. Gaming is so clacky. I'm not a fan. It definitely a switch thing, but I don't see myself getting into this domain.

I could definitely see that being a benefit for keyboard enthusiasts, but as someone who was much more into my music than keyboards it wasn't a positive for me!
