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)
don't read reviews on audio equipment other than those which give you accurate measurements, as this is the only thing that might give you a clue if you will like the gear or not. but that requires experience.
the only way you can really judge if you like a particular headphone is trying them out - and return them if you don't like them.
I regularily do this, every few months. The only headphones I stuck with are my Superlux HD 660 Pro and HD 330 Pro as they do everything well enough so that i am satisfied with them. I just recently returned some Hifiman Sundaras because I just wouldn't get to like them. Too heavy, not better by a amount that would justify the cost at least for me.
I browse this sub purely for headphoneporn and fun - as it is my hobby.
