Ideally you can have a headphone that excel at something better than others for certain genres. For example, 2 headphones I frequently use are the ZMF Atrium and ZMF Verite Closed. When I want a warm bassy head headphone with amazing soundstage I’ll go for the Atrium. When I want better imaging and a more neutral sound that still is very lush I’ll go for the Verite.
In my collection I also have the Focal Clear MG, Arya V2, and a Modhouse argon.
That said, I like to keep the clears because I find that music that wasn’t recorded well can still sound great on it. The Arya V2 is when I want some spicey treble and it better for certain genres.
That said there has been plenty I have sold/traded. And largely it’s because I found something better in the models I listed above. So with that said it depends on use case. For me I love the hobby and like having options, every once and awhile I will downsize to try new things.
