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 very rarely look at reviews for the sound quality/descriptions of any headphones or IEMs. I will always look at reviews for the physical quality, fit, finish, and any known issues. Not only that, but I use this sub to see what's new/trending, since most of the official copy from companies on new releases is just fluff.
At the end of the day, we should all be trying to help each other listen to music, and stop listening to the gear. If I'm listening to some techno/hardstyle/trance, I want that stupid bass kicking HARD. On the other hand, if I'm listening to some Norwegian black metal recorded on a cassette tape in the middle of the forest in the early 90s, I really don't want the same kicking bass.
