Px8 s2 tuning…
Hi everyone,
I’ll get straight to the point. Lately, I’ve been struggling to enjoy listening to music on my PX8 S2 because the sound has started to feel harsh and ear-piercing. When I first bought them, I was extremely satisfied with the sound quality and had no complaints at all.
I’m not sure what’s changed. Maybe I’ve developed some sensitivity to higher frequencies, or maybe I’ve simply become accustomed to listening through my soundbar, which sounds more open and spacious.
My question is: does anyone have an EQ setting that helps reduce the harshness without ruining what makes the PX8 S2 special?
The best way I can describe what I’m hearing is that the entire track feels congested, almost as if everything is sitting in the same frequency range. The sound becomes fatiguing very quickly and can even trigger headaches. The treble feels piercing, while vocals often sound overly forward and sharp. At the same time, instruments seem less prominent and get overshadowed by what I can only describe as “knife-like” vocals.
I’m hoping this description makes sense and gives those with more audio knowledge an idea of what might be causing the issue. If so, I’d really appreciate any advice on which frequencies to adjust and by how much.
I genuinely want to enjoy these headphones again the way I did when I first got them.
Thanks in advance for any help.
