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?

Below is my current “end game” setup, which to me, sounds incredible, day 34.

HD600 Rupert Neve RNHP 1-ch Amp Schiit Loki Mini+ EQ Schiit Modi+ DAC

I researched for months before I bought the HD600, and a few months less for the Neve because there are certain reviewers that I trust based on their review of the HD600 but it’s still a die roll.

The Neve is my end game amp, but I’m already looking at a Schiit Lokius EQ. I saw too many concerts in my mis-spent youth so I have to EQ. My wandering eyes keep looking at the 800s. If that’s not enough, I have a problem.
