Exactly. Do you want to believe the science or do you want to believe stupid people trying to get you to click on their affiliate links so you buy expensive shit that you don’t need so that they can get their cut?

There is a LOT of false information and myths in this hobby and you wouldn’t be able tell what’s what until you learn about how headphones and amps actually work.

It’s not due to anything because it’s not a real effect. You are hearing things. That’s how powerful the placebo effect can be.

There is absolutely no scientific basis for the stuff you are claiming here. Unless you are using a broken amplifier, you cannot drive a headphone “incorrectly”. If you don’t give it enough power, you won’t get enough volume. That’s it. Nothing else changes.

Maybe instead of listening to stupid YouTubers trying to get you to buy expensive shit, you should actually learn how amplifiers and headphones work.

Power = volume. There is no such thing as an “underpowered headphone sound”. The only thing that happens when a headphone is underpowered is that it sounds too quiet. You will never get a “thin sound” from not having enough power. It’s just physics.
