For you what’s the best headphone/IEM and what genre you listen with them? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community
[–] -notausername_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

My Hifiman sundaras are my favorite over ears for sure, my Hifiman RE2000 iems are my favorite iems (or "headphones" in general for that matter) I've ever owned though. They're good with any genre of music and the tuning is perfect for my ears. They're very warm yet still analytical and detailed.

What advice/knowledge do you wish you would have had when you first got into headphones in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

Depends what headphones you're trying to drive. Planars for example benefit greatly from an amp.

How did you eventually figure it out?

I wish I hadn't have discounted iems, since I now use them much more than my over ears, even when I'm at home. I also wish I had have had a better understanding of the type of sound signature I preferred, would have saved myself a lot of time and money. That being said, I did enjoy the journey itself to finding my end game 🙂

Why do you guys have so many headphones? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

For me it was because I was trying to find my preferred sound signature, and chifi makes it much easier and less expensive 😂 For iems at least I found my end game in Hifiman RE2000 I got on sale. I also have Sundaras and focal elegia, open back vs closed back for obvious reasons.
