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?

Dont do that Firstly you don't know your preference and you possibly wont be able to appreciate the niceness.

If you really want to appreciate the quality of an endgame piece then you need to know what not so great sounds like first. If you start at endgame you have nothing to compare too (assuming you dont really use much audio stuff at the moment) and you'll just accept that sound as the default and not actually notice how good it is until you have to use a bad piece of gear by chance or something. Going the other way around (starting low) is much more immediately satisfying
