The best feeling in the world (unless they fucking crank the volume up to the max on high gain)

Does he have the ears that were promised? Ears able to withstand the beyer treble spike at over 100 dB...

I had a friend come over who thinks the airpod max is the very best of sound quality. Made him listen to my focal clears. He tried to max out the volume straight away so it would start clipping and I've never felt such fear in my life

Right? What's the deal with that? 7 people tried my headphones, age around 23 and 45+, and every time they crank up the volume really high. To the point it's absolutely unlistenable to me and I hear everything when they have it on. Why does that happen? Is my hearing that sensitive? They add like 45 dB if I would have to guess, insane.

A lot of non-hi fi audio people think the hallmark of a good system is how loud it can get. It's the same with stereos. And psychologically, louder things sound better (up to a point obviously).

I like to warn people "if you touch that dial it will either pop your ears or my headphones, and it better not be my headphones"
