Like you say the HD6XX hype is annoying, and its basically because they’re cheap. Same with the endless love of chifi, ‘forget Andromeda just get Blessing…’
etc etc.
It’s weird because in other areas we all admit more expensive = better, an rtx 4090 delivers a better gaming experience than a 4070. A 4k OLED TV delivers a better viewing experience than a plain 1080p LED TV.
But for some reason pervasive in audio, and on this forum in particular, is a staunch affront to the notion that more expensive headphones, or sources, are gasp, better! It’s strange as I’ve only seen this in audio. I can only surmise it’s copium to the highest degree.
Copium.
