it can be a lot of things, it can be ear fatigue yes, but it can also just be your getting more familiar and noticing flaws as you listen.

It doesn't have the same magic it like it loses some fidelity and doesn't sound as good

It sounds like you’re just getting used to the sound quality. Try switching back to another pair for a while.

Could be moisture build-up if they are IEMs. Your brain could also just be getting used to the sound

Honestly dude you're going to get used to the better audio. It sucks and you'll always look back to that bliss but there ain't much you can do lol. Like people say, listen to the music, not the hardware or else you'll get pulled into the trap searching for the better stuff. Which depending who you are could be fine or not be fine

I'd pay any amount just to experience my first good headphone again. But I can distinguish the different sounds of my headphones pretty easily now.

Welcome to the audiophile world, now you know why people can have 30+ pairs of headphones (you know who you are)

From what I have experienced, your headphones/earbuds might have a siginificant peak somewhere in their frequency response. Play a sine sweep and if one frequency becomes too loud try to remove it in EQ. My particular headphones have a vicious peak at around 9000Hz that makes them unusable for long periods without EQ, so I'd try that first

It‘s like showering, you need to turn up the heat every once in a while to make it enjoyable😂 With headphones or earbuds, I recommend starting to listen at a lower volume because whenever you turn up the volume slightly, the sound quality appears to be „good“ again because you just get used to how your headphones sound. Just make sure to stop at some point, you don‘t want to ruin your ears… At least that’s how it is for me sometimes. Or just have a small break and let your ears readjust

Just thinking aloud: how does heat affect the drivers and coils? Doesn't heat affect conductivity of wires and malleability of drivers?

I don't think 98.6 degrees is enough to change the integrity of metals.

He's also using them, pushing electricity through. From what I understand, voice coils will inevitably convert some of that energy to heat (not to mention mechanical energy), though correct me if I'm wrong.

I have nothing to back this up but I could swear that especially bass sounds a lot tighter when I'm wearing IEMs and it's cold outside.
