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?
I have a HD 800S, an HE-1000 Stealth, and have owned maybe a dozen other headphones, and plenty of different DACs and Amps at various price points. Honestly, I was just as satisfied with an HD 650 and the good ol’ Schiit stack as I was with anything else I’ve bought.
Really, you’ll never be satisfied until you decide to be satisfied. There’s always something new and different to try. I find myself identifying more and more with that meme of people who sell all their audio stuff and just keep something basic to listen to music with.
“You’ll never be satisfied until you decide to be satisfied.”
Truer words were never spoken.
