Personally I think most people are better off with two mid range headphones that excell in different areas rather then buying one totl headphone. It's much easier to appreciate a headphone when you have a consistent frame of reference, it stops it's intricacies from just becoming the norm. Personally my end game is the hd650 + sjy starry night v2, the hd650 for worse mixed tracks and the starry night v2 for better mixed tracks. It's allowed neither headphone to become boring to me and I've kept them for much longer then any totl headphone I've owned (zmf eikon, hd800s and hifiman arya v1). The temptation to get a third headphone is always there, but never to completely replace either the starry night or hd650.
