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.
