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?

    There has to be a city around you that is a road trip, a bus ride, or a train ride away where you can walk in to an audiophile store and listen to a bunch of headphones, including the ones you mentioned. Make sure you call them before and check if they’re happy with you coming in for a listen to determine what headphone you like.

    I never recommend anyone to spend over $1K without first listening themselves to that pair of headphones and deciding if THEY like those headphones themselves.
