I’m sure this topic could potentially be offensive to true audiophiles, but as the headline states… I want my first pair of headphones to be all I need. For month’s now I’ve become obsessed with closely following this community, and have spent dozens of hours watching every review possible of all the high-end headphones favored by this Sub… What I have narrowed it down to, essentially, is the HE1000SE, Focal Clear MG, Arya Stealth Magnet… If I purchase one of these, will I ever be truly satisfied with just the one pair? Or will I long for an experience that other pair’s of headphones have to offer?
If you only want one pair I would seriously consider the DCA Stealth. I’m probably a bit biased, but for me they do just about everything right and they’re closed back so you can use them in places where open back doesn’t work.
I bought them specifically because I didn’t want to have ten different headphones. I wanted just one really high end pair for everything and they do that for me.
They are a fair bit more expensive that the other options you list though.
