I feel you!

I believe most youtubers posting reviews videos have an agenda, regardless of what they may say…

I also believe many people commenting on reddit, have very little experience so they’ll often just rave about what they have, without having ever hearing anything else for comparison…

Only +/- reliable source of info is your own ears by personally experimenting the different headphones/gear you’re interested in… (which unfortunately not always possible of course…)

And I say +/- because even your own ears/brain are not always reliable either! ;-) And headphones is a piece of gear where true blind auditions are nearly impossible to do…
