No. If there is I haven't seen it.
Personally I find the well established review sites my best source of information (and youtube generally useless)

Your spelling makes it difficult to follow you. If you're a bass head then a 1770 isn't a good choice

two answers
- the continuous quest to make phones thinner
- People do not want emotion and power. They just want pounding bass.
If you want decent sound out of a modern phone you'll have to spend 40-60 euros on a good dongle

Apple music on iphone is really quite nice actually.
Do be aware that 24bit/192 over bluetooth will be downgraded a fair bit

No, I think you explained it reasonably well. I was just annoyed at the people downvoting you for that.

> So I'd like to ask you to describe to me in detail what it should feel like
​
I have several in-ears. There are those that I use with tripple flange silicon tips. I don't feel those much but they are there. The seal isn't complete so the loud breathing isn't a thing.
I've got a pair with foam tips. Those feel like wearing disposable earplugs. Total block of the outside so more breathing. Fairly smooth cable so not that much noise.
I have some bluetooth in-ears with comply tips on them. Primarily for gym usage. Middle ground between the other two. Enough blocking to filter out most of the crap they play in the gym (why I'll never understand, everyone wears headphones anyway) but not quite to get all my breathing amplified.
If I want comfort I put on my over-ear beyerdynamic. There's a reason these are popular in radio studios, they're so comfortable!!

maybe it affected your inner ear? I know people report itching, pressure, headaches and even motion sickness

Microphonics, the noise via the cable, is very common.
If you block your ear canals then chewing will sound, different, that i snormal.
If you want something small and portable but not blocking your canals you can try something like https://www.fiio.com/em5
And some people don't like ANC, that's quite well known.

Reply to total novice question / advice requested by zambi258
My CD player is older than many users in this sub. I can relate.
What are you looking to spend? You want closed, to block out the family or open?
Personally I'm a big fan of beyerdynamic. Love their dt770. Well build, really comfortable and well priced at 130 euros. For a 120 more you get their DT700 which resolves a TON more detail but is slightly less warm sounding. With your listening habits I wouldn't go any further.
Another route is to jump on the bluetooth bandwagon. The current sony and bose offerings do allow the use of a cable as well as bluetooth. They cancel ambient noise but are tuned to a consumer sound, bass heavy with little details in the mids and highs.

Not likely. Unless it;s developed a defect over the years resulting in a short circuit.

No, more likely you having to adjust that not all audio is about feeling bass hard enough

You're principal. How many other conductors do orchestras typically employ? And how much rehearsal time goes into a big production like this?

Reply to Can using EQ damage headphones? by computerworlds

Maybe. If you push all the sliders all the way and you run them on max volume for an extended period.
>I saw a YT video
I sometimes with people would treat YT videos more like entertaiment and less like a source of facts. Because f- me what a load of bollocks some people put in their videos!!

Your headphones come with a short and long cable with 3.5mm on one end, with a6.3mm converter included. That cable connects to the headphones with mini xlr. That's only relevant when you need a new cable

Law of diminishing returns hits hard here. Also your whole flow will play a role here. If you got mediocre source material and a cheap amp you might as well not bother
