IIRC the g35 sounds dark and boomy. Perhaps you prefer a darker sound to avoid fatigue, someone suggested crossfeed, you can try that too. Regarding pain in the ear I guess it can be many things like Impacted wax or fluid build-up or what do I know.. Wouldn't hurt to see a physician on the matter.
If interested/concerned it might be possible to calculate/approximate the SPL you were exposed to. Most likely the max output of your pc is 1~2 V and I doubt the SPL is more than some 100 dB, though it depends on the output/gain and song you listened to.
Ever experience ringing or other continuous noise, especially at night?

I think the left ear pain was psychosomatic, especially now that I'm trying this, I feel it again lol!

I've had random ringing while I'm at my desk, but it only happeneds for a few seconds, but it's very very rare.

I don't really listen to max max volume ever though....  SOngs also do matter, yup.


Do the G35's sound like that?

It's weird... because with the X2's I turned the treble up and it brought so much more life to them, which I like...  The G35's had their own Treble/Bass adjjustments too....

Meh happened again lol.  Had to go over this thread since it upset me again.

From the other thread it seems like yotu have to have at least x amount of seconds to do damage, unless the sound is that strong.

I had my soundcard at abotu 85 and started music, VLC @ 100% and speakers probably 75%, it was loud at first, but turned it down.  It was a little painful but I don't think really that bad.  It ried to mimic it again, and think I went louder by accident by using VLC accidentally turned it up to 120%.

Idk how loud speakers can go, and if they are an issue as much as headphones?  Annoying when you're not sure where the volume is set at...  I had to turn it up because I couldn't hear people in a game, but then the music was crazy loud...  sigh .

I feel okay, left ear feels weird, but I think it's more of this placeabo psychosomatic issue, last time (had this feeling too), it cleared up after a few days of not worrying .

Still annoying that we run a risk with just trying to enjoy some tunes.

Be worried if you develope buzzing/ringing or other tinnitus like symptoms within the next period of time, else it is probably okay
