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?

Those headphones listed are mid tier.

I personally like the Susvara + Holo May/Dave + Envy

Except they really aren't. Headphone pricing has gotten out of hand and has created a division that doesn't actually exist. The headphones OP listed or all still "sunmit-fi" as most people consider headphones over the $1k point to fall into that.

Headphones past that in the $3k+ category are just "stupid summit-fi" (so coined on this sub). But I think calling the HE1000se or Focal Clear MG mid range heasphones is completely disingenuous.
