Upon reading a lot of opinions, the most common one I see is that a lot of people keep coming back to the HD600 series of the Sennheiser’s even after trying high end headphones.

Why is that actually so for you?

    I was under that impression for the longest time until I got a proper hifi speaker setup. Ever since then, I BARELY use headphones.

    Speakers take a LOT of work to get sounding their best. You need to treat your room, find the best placement, integrate them with a sub. Alot of tinkering.

    But once you get it right? Headphones are easily blown out of the water. It’s a fully encompassing and 3d experience. The soundstage is nothing short of SCARY real.

    I’m VERY into DSP and measuring speakers and that’s the other incredibly fun part. I get to actively see what my personal speakers frequency and phase response is and correct it, which really can’t be done on headphones without an expensive measurement rig. A good room(and speaker) correction algorithm or process can essentially make the speaker completely disappear and just leave you with a room filled with the music.

    Also speakers have crosstalk which headphones don’t. That’s one of the main reasons why I think speakers are better. That crosstalk is essential for realism imo.

    Anyways sorry for the wall of text, I really want to see more people on here experience the magic of speakers 😁
