Help me buy a new headphone!

How much did you pay for the Organic? If $700 ish and you don’t have bunch of extra cash around I’d just stick with that one. TLDR: they are all pretty similar especially if you use eq or like to try different pads. Get whatever your budget allows without feeling like you spent too much This may not

HD 480 Pro - Official Image(s)

In terms of sound only, I can give my top 5: Focal Utopia - Super dynamic, detailed and exciting sounding, while keeping a decently natural tonal balance. Sennheiser HD 650 - Sounds smooth and natural and lush no matter what track I throw at it. Sennheiser HD 800 S - Very open and detailed with a wa

Searching for a complement for my Arya Stealth

My compliment to the Arya Stealth is the Focal Radiance. They are on the warmer side but doesn't lack in detail. They're a fun and engaging listen with great low end heft. If you could stretch out the budget a little and find one on the used market and you're in for a treat. The best budget option i

Magnificent!

They're very solid for gaming and excellent for music, which I'd also say about the Aune AR5000 (surprisingly probably my second most used headphones after the HE1000se). The Edition XV is probably good for everything in gaming except hardcore eSports type stuff, for which I'd probably go for someth

HD 6XX vs Edition xs

For me the Hifimans aren’t known for their bass but they do have a linear sub bass extension and resolving planars which means you can EQ in bass pretty much without distortion. My Arya Stealth with bass boosted really slams hard, has rumble and sub bass causing a great sound profile. Another one ou

What open back planars should I get to upgrade from my HD560s?

No one can tell you what will sound better to your ears. Buy both & return the ones (or both) you didn't prefer. If you just order the cheaper XS, you'll always wonder about the Arya & eventually get it anyway. While demoing, you may want to add the Edition XV to the list because of all the hype it'
