You can’t name a single headphone that has consistent reviews here. And not only that the reviews aren’t consistent, they are compeletly in contrast to each other and you can’t get any useful info on products because of that. I’ve been looking around for a headphone that i can upgrade to and after 2 weeks of watching reviews on YT and reading people’s opinions here, I am pretty much convinced that there is no point in reading nor watching the reviews here and YT.

I also do not understand the overly negative feelings people have towards different headphones. It almost feels like 75 percent of reviewers here are just fan-boys of a single brand and are trying to destroy other headphone brands.

And I’ve been into the hobby for about 4 years now and I know the terms people use and what they by them, so no I’m not confused by terminology or anything like that, I’m just frustrated by everyone here thinking they are absolutely right about everything (sometimes even about things they haven’t even tried)

    Exactly this. Literally just use common sense. Obviously people are biased, they spent big money on gear. Obviously sound is subjective. Certain reviewers are more biased than others.

    Ironically it seems you yourself (talking to OP) are biased against this sub. Look in the right places and you’ll find legitmate discussion. Far more than on other sites like headfi tbh. And the debate of how headphones sound is part of the fun. I mean, what do you even want? For there to be a one-size fits all headphone? That doesn’t exist. For reviewers that don’t shill? They exist, use common sense and look around. I don’t get how anybody can get so worked up over this.
