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?

As others have pointed out, there is zero point in spending big on headphones when you really don't know what you even like yet. Just get a mid-level pair that has been around for a while and is well-regarded. And then, and this is important, spend a good amount of time with them to figure out what you like and don't like about them.

You might now know it sometimes, but the best way to avoid constant upgrade urges is to just enjoy what you have, what you're listening to. Trying to try everything and only ever using the same thing, neither are great approaches.
