How do you deal with such wildly opposing opinions on gear? (or best practices or philosophies)
You know what you like and you know your hearing. Keep it in mind when watching reviews and researching. Everyones ears are quite literally different. We're also all sensitive to different frequencies (hrtf). A headphones technical capability like soundstage, imaging, attack, and bass pact is easier
