You can’t name a single headphone that has consistent reviews here. And not only that the reviews aren’t consistent, they are compeletly in contrast to each other and you can’t get any useful info on products because of that. I’ve been looking around for a headphone that i can upgrade to and after 2 weeks of watching reviews on YT and reading people’s opinions here, I am pretty much convinced that there is no point in reading nor watching the reviews here and YT.

I also do not understand the overly negative feelings people have towards different headphones. It almost feels like 75 percent of reviewers here are just fan-boys of a single brand and are trying to destroy other headphone brands.

And I’ve been into the hobby for about 4 years now and I know the terms people use and what they by them, so no I’m not confused by terminology or anything like that, I’m just frustrated by everyone here thinking they are absolutely right about everything (sometimes even about things they haven’t even tried)

Simply put: I don't :P My last two audio purchases that have been "review based" were from DankPods, specifically the DT770 Pro (80ohm) and the JBL Charge 4, and both because they said they had good bass that wasn't overpowering, which was what I was looking for. I wouldn't ask the people here anything because it's too varied a pallet of who likes what. I would either go with a reviewer you trust, or go to some place like rtings and just look at the numbers and find what you're looking for.

Ultimately, your ears are your ears and no one else has your ears, so this all is highly subjective and personal. Just do what you like and what sounds good.
