TLDR: Ear fatigue after a few minutes. Doesn't happen with headphones.
Hi there, I'm using some Eris E8 8" monitors that are sitting about 3 ft from me. I listen at very low volumes yet I get distinct pain sensations after about 1 minute. I'm looking at buying some Yamaha HS8s to experience the difference. I had an old pair of lil' Behringer MS40s that treated me well and I could listen to those for hours before feeling fatigued, same with my HD25 headphones. Anybody in a similar position? And if so, any tips? I'm suspecting it's something to do with this small room I'm mixing in.
