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

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.
