Best sounding headphones you have owned?


At one time I had gone through Shure, early Stax, Audio Technica electret condenser....and more.

What have you owned in both expensive and inexpensive headphones that gave you pleasurable listening?

Good day, I have some Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX. I have some Hifiman Sundara. I prefer the Sundara. I had seen a number of comparisons that said they were the same. They are not, not even close.

it is true ONLY if you compared with headphones where the sound STAY in the head...Most headphones ( But not mine )

And most speakers/room are not acoustically optimal, even if yours is by the way... 😁

 

And if you have a TOP speakers/room anyway have you heard all headphones ?

 

If i add the BACCH filters i will rival your speakers/room if i did not rival already it with a 100 bucks headphone ( AKG K340 ) ...Not bad ...

By the way the bass is so good i felt it with my feet (bones conduction ) .

Perhaps you go too far here about ALL headphones...

In truth it is up to budget and creativity...

All speakers/room are not equals nor all headphones...

The only factor that rules audio is acoustics not gear choice claimed as  the only meaningful choice for all...

We dont need a pope ... 😊

 

 

No offense… best headphones are …. speakers. Listening to headphones is pleasurable and enjoyable, to the extent of jerking off. Compared to actually having sex (speakers). So sorry

 

 

 

I have several Sennheiser Grado Audio Technica and Sony (used to have Stax as well) and EQed they all sound nice but each a little different


I needed to replace a pair of ancient Klipsch earbuds that were showing their age. Picked up a pair of Truthear Crinacle Zeros Red buds recently and gotta say these things are top notch even without EQ. Crystal clear and balanced top to bottom and very affordable. Perfect for just taking in the details of whatever happens to be there in each recording even simply straight off a smart phone.

And if you have a TOP speakers/room anyway have you heard all headphones ?

Yes. Pretty much. By ownership over decades and headphones meetups. Including those (you will never be able to afford). And also pretty much every single highly rated headphones amps. Because? Life… and convenience. Headphones are way more convenient and cheaper than speakers. So …. To answer your question. YES

The only factor that rules audio is acoustics not gear choice

Pretty much irrelevant with headphones. Room excluded. So other than little mods on the caps (Believe me I have tried them all), not much left. And EQ? 🤯🤯🤯😂😂
