I'm sure this topic could potentially be offensive to true audiophiles, but as the headline states... I want my first pair of headphones to be all I need. For month's now I've become obsessed with closely following this community, and have spent dozens of hours watching every review possible of all the high-end headphones favored by this Sub.. What I have narrowed it down to, essentially, is the HE1000SE, Focal Clear MG, Arya Stealth Magnet.. If I purchase one of these, will I ever be truly satisfied with just the one pair? Or will I long for an experience that other pair's of headphones have to offer?

None in this sub can probably tell since every person is different with their preferences. You can be the type of person that would already close the book in your headphone journey after one big purchase, or you could be wanting to explore all the different sounds offered by the different headphone companies. If you have the option to visit a headphone store which has some of those headphones available to demo, you can give those a try and see which you'd like best.

On a personal note, out of all the above you mentioned, I really only tried the Focal Clear and they're perfectly fine headphones for all types of genre, although they have a slightly sizzling treble for certain tracks, you can do some mods or EQ them out.
