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)
Test them out at a music store or buy from Amazon and return if you don’t like them. The only information you’ll consistently find is “bright, dark, wide soundstage, etc.” Other than that everyone has different ears. I got SHP9500 as my first “audiophile” headphones and dioko’s as my first IEM because everyone on the internet was raving over them at the time. I soon found out my ears are very treble sensitive and they both gave me headaches. Since then I have looked for headphones people say are darker/neutral and take anything else with a grain of salt unless an overwhelming majority says something is bad.
