How to listen to the music and stop bouncing listening focus around (alien.top)

I got my first kilobuck headphones with Focal Clears. Love them. Excellent.

BUT

I am finding it hard to actually listen to the music. What I find myself doing is bouncing my focus around listening to individual pieces and going "wow I can pick this out when I couldn't before!" However, this is both exhausting and stops me hearing my music at all.

It feels kind of like when you go to IMAX the first few times and your eyes are just constantly bouncing around until you realize the way to do it is just relax your eyes into the middle and stop worrying about the periphery. However, I just can't seem to figure out how to relax into my music.

Does anyone have any advice?

It becomes normal, give yourself the opportunity to do that first and after a while you'll start to enjoy the songs again even more. For now your brain is crazy happy cause it goes "new sounds on song you loved before" love it more now.
