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)
Go to head-fi.org and look at measurements of headphones done with binaural ear microphones. You can at least get an idea of things from the different measurements. There's not a lot of subjectiveness to metrics other than interpretation.
The ergonomics and subjective enjoyment of a particular set is truly unique to each person's ears, so that part is useful from hands on reviews without metrics.
You need both.
It is hard to get through things when 98% of the reviewers have not used anything else and are just in the honeymoon phase of trying something. And yes, lots of hate on things from people who never tried what they hate because they're just web parrots. Hard to wade through the shit, so look for metrics and experience merged reviews only.
