Going through this journey I got a lot of recommendations claiming those things are THE HEADPHONES and nothing can beat it and… And sometimes I get a little disappointed for spending loads of bucks at a “meh” headphone. But I can’t blame them, I know that one thing that is good for one may not be for the other.
I see people asking this question about the “best”, but audio and music are very subjective. That’s why we get many different answers and there is no “better headphones”. So for YOU, what’s the best audio device and you love to listen in them?
The best overall, bar none, for me is a four-way tie between the original ZMF Auteur, LCD X (2021 revision,) Aurorus Audio Borealis, and the Focal Clear. Three out of four of those I can’t wear for very long because of a neck thing, and the Borealis always had issues fitting on my head correctly. I’d listen to mostly rock and metal with them.
For gaming, it was the HD800 SDR.
Now I have a HE1000 Stealth, which tries its best to do music and gaming well.
