I can hear that compression on most of KoRN's work from the 90s even without a discrete ear. Other stuff sounds like sludge - but it... works, such as Pearl Jam's album Ten.

I have these (Audio Technica AD-700X) I used to have the 200 (or 500) but after 15 years of service, the purple meshed beast failed - with the voice coil on one channel dying.

I want a 2nd set of headphones that are closed (knowing the sound stage would be smaller) one day to ensure sound doesn't leak from my cans into my mic when I'm streaming. It's a minor problem to have, but a problem all the same.
