Headphones can sound very weird if you're not used to them. You really need to use them for at least a week or so for your brain to adapt.

Yup. It's all about brain burn in. I had the same issue when I first got into headphones but once I started listening to more higher quality headphones stuff like the Logitech headphones sounds like it belongs in the trash.

This, and also I think a lot of non-audiophile types expect too much when trying out a pair of high-end headphones (high-end to them, mid-fi to most of us).

Usually this is because an audiophile has hyped up their gear before having their friend try it out. They expect to be blown away, but that hardly ever happens.

Unless all they’ve known is super crappy headphones, and you’re having them tryout a flagship set like HD800S, their reaction is probably going to be something close to OP’s.

This makes sense. I used a pair of TYGR 300s for months, recently got a pair of LCD-GXs, and it took a little bit for me to adapt but now that I have it’s crazy the immersion and scale is so much better
