Reply to comment by xGuacamolly in What Artist/Band/Musician blows your mind with HiFi by MontiMont

Can I ask, sincerely, why artists like Lorna Shore and Oceans Ate Alaska? Genuinely curious because despite kinda liking these bands myself, I found the new Lorna shore to be so compressed and distorted it was damn near unlistenable on any of my decent quality gear.

Is it just a familiarity/reference thing?

I tried it in my Aeon Open X and Closed X and it was just completely unlistenable, like if it was the only thing I heard on the headphones I’d think they were malfunctioning.

Sounds fine on ny gym headphones though which is where I like that kind of music the most, so it all works out
