    The quiet issue is due to impedance. You need a better amplifier than your phones garbage dac. High ohm headphones require more juice.

    I dont listen to headphones on the go really. Only in office. Usually it sounds awful and there’s too much noise around me to enjoy it, and I prefer to enjoy music on my actual listening setup at home amyway, headphones will always sound worse due to no depth. But im weird about sound. Music isnt background noise to me.

      Noise cancelling headphones and background music helps a ton when I’m in the office. Stupid open office…
