Going through this journey I got a lot of recommendations claiming those things are THE HEADPHONES and nothing can beat it and... And sometimes I get a little disappointed for spending loads of bucks at a “meh” headphone. But I can’t blame them, I know that one thing that is good for one may not be for the other.

I see people asking this question about the “best”, but audio and music are very subjective. That’s why we get many different answers and there is no “better headphones”. So for YOU, what’s the best audio device and you love to listen in them?

I mean my stereo attached to my computer is my best "audio device" but this is the wrong subreddit for that. So I have a Schiit Jotunheim running my ZMF Auteurs and with EQ it is pretty much jaw dropping and I love it. They are what I use for gaming, and they're ok for that, but then I run them with only a bass shelf. For music I run a modified auto eq in Peace and yeah, for that they're unbelievably good. I don't listen to them during the day because I can just have my stereo on most of the time, or I'm moving around and have my Sony earbuds in. I'm still on the fence about my IEMs, they have a much cleaner sound than the buds, but I may have got the wrong IEMs for my music tastes, which are bass heavy. We'll see if they stick around.

Music-wise a little of everything, but heavier into rap, hip-hop, some electronic, and a lot of poppier things.
