I get that different headphones are geared toward different types of music or tastes. But I don’t understand why there isn’t a generic set of headphones with “normal” everything that is just all around realistic, has enough base, has sound stage. I feel every headphone I read about is good but has significant drawbacks that you have to look past? Like why can’t the HD 800s have a version that isn’t cripplingly low on bass? That’s just one example but it seems every time I get excited about a pair of headphones there is some massive red flag whether it’s wierd trebel, bass, tone, being unrealistic, etc.
Depends on what you’re looking for, I guess… I was pretty happy with the Utopia until untried the MM-500 for less than half the price, and I think it’s the better headphone and a good allrounder, if you don’t listen to classical music. Everything else is fine or even great.
