Not yet having received my M60s. Hopefully I will not have the same experience, thinking taht they are too bright. With that said, I am, unfortunately, unabel at this time to say in good faith that "resistance is futile." Being more of a Star Wars man than a Star Trek trekkie, I would have to say that "I have a bad feeling about this," and that if you "trust your feelings, let go of your fear" and let the sound (force) "flow from within," your ears will break in and everything will be jsut fine.
