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)
I feel you!
I believe most youtubers posting reviews videos have an agenda, regardless of what they may say...
I also believe many people commenting on reddit, have very little experience so they'll often just rave about what they have, without having ever hearing anything else for comparison...
Only +/- reliable source of info is your own ears by personally experimenting the different headphones/gear you're interested in... (which unfortunately not always possible of course...)
And I say +/- because even your own ears/brain are not always reliable either! ;-) And headphones is a piece of gear where true blind auditions are nearly impossible to do...
