That the entire problem is intentional does not make it any less of a defect.

Intentionally making audio uncomfortable is not a sign of art or skill, it's a sign of delivering a bad product.

The audio is not uncomfortable, 75 dB is a reasonable calibration level for a home setup (your average scene will be much quieter).

75 dB in real life is your typical restaurant, office, etc.

  • Did you mean to reply to a different comment? What does calibration or 75 dB have to do with anything I said?

    The most common experience on the poorly mixed content that several in this thread are complaining about are: the volume setting necessary for intelligible audio results in uncomfortably loud audio in other parts.

    This is a defect of the content, not of the system it's playing on.
