These are my first set of higher value headphones. I mainly listen to european folk music with instruments such as clarinet and sax, and hip hop.

The higher pitched sounds, even at low volume, feel very sharp and tiring.

I am listening on Windows 10 and have a Fioo e10k.

I was previously using the Koss Porta Pro which I enjoyed.

I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar experience or has any recommendations.

You need some good ole fashion ear burn-in.

Listen to them more. Forget you’re wearing them, jam out while working or play a video game or movie.

If you still don’t like the sound after 1-2 weeks then try playing with EQ.

Return them and get your money back. Buy something more tuned to your tastes.
