Besides the rings i don’t see any green stuff, so if you mean those, it’s just their color, normally they’re black, so they are probably discolored, but it’s normal for them to not be metal, they’re supposed to insulate

it doesn’t tickle my brain or back anymore

try ASMR vidoes, probably the feeling you describe here

I mean the awnser is definitly yes, open backs start with 100% of their max possible bleed so it can’t get any worse, closed backs start with their least possible bleed, so it can only get worse from there

sounds a lot like ADHD symptoms to me, also have it, just live with it, sometimes i don’t even go through a whole song without getting distracted and end up doing something else, don’t try to let it bother you and just do what your brain thinks it wants to do

Eh, i don’t care really, youtube music is good enough for me, it has everything my super weird and nieche music taste likes, and it doesn’t sound horrible, do i get the best quality music? no.
But you could make the same argument for cars, why do people buy 600hp cars or 200+ hp motorcycles when they can only go up to 130km/h (ignoring german gigachads here), precisely because even if you get limited you can still have more fun with it

Comfort wise the HD800S have the be (one of) the best. Probably the lightest TOTL headphone on the market, low clamp force, big earpads (nothing touches your ear)

Some people report problems with the thin headband, but as a owner myself i think this only applies to people with very thin or no hair, if you’re affected by this you need an aftermarket headband thing, that should fix the problem

I don’t care about things like Dolby Atmos at all, it’s just software surround and i’m not using that, don’t care about aptX, no devices i use support it, and basically everything has LDAC these days so i don’t even bother checking for it, the only important things in a phone are the version of android it comes with from the factory, a 3,5mm audio jack, and a few other things like a good fingerprint reader and that the selfie camera is as hidden as possible, i am yet to find a phone without one of those stupid things, so if someone knows a recent phone without a selfie camera, please point me to it, i hate those things
