I come from the time ok Klipsch Image S4’s, Monster Turbines, Denon headphones… I think the Philips Fidelios were in there… I don’t remember the others…

But none of those are made anymore. What are the current offerings? Also amps or DAP’s? Do Sony’s still have their Clear Bass? I remember it being amazing on an MP3 player but is pretty Meh in the app for my XM5’s

You literally asked for the best

This is one of those hilarious moments that happen ever-so-often here where someone ignorant comes along and asks something to the tune "I want THE BEST headphones, no limits budget!!!" and immediately to a 180 when they get pointed at the ab1266 or the he1.

Those recommendations are abit of a meme. The most hilarious is when they are recommended stuff that's reasonably common around here, like HD800, Arya, LCD-X, etc. and then OP is surprised pikachu face. Can't blame them tho, if you are coming from a different hobby like gaming, where an RTX 4080 costs like 1200, you're probably coming here totally not expecting relatively common headphones like the HD800 to cost literally as much as a 4090.
