What's your unpopular opinion in the audiophile world?
This is full of fairly common sentiments. How about this? Sometimes basshead headphones are exactly what you need, even if they do muddy the sound or hide detail. Its OK to just enjoy bass. Another take, I really dont like the Sennheiser HD800S.

A subjetividade do hobby.
Eu tenho mais reservas quanto a fones que são bem avaliados no geral e que eu não gostei. O focal utopia 2020 eu achei um fone meio boring, o famoso medíocre em tudo, excelente em nada. Não me pegou em detalhamento nem em espacialidade. Agora um que eu achei bem ruim é o sennheiser hd800s, esse fone

Amateur comparison between the Hifiman Edition XS and Hifiman Arya Organic
I heard a bigger difference going from the XS to a pair of Arya Stealths. After two years, I'm finally upgrading to the AO's now that the price dropped, and they should be arriving tomorrow. Frankly, the Arya Stealths became my favorite pair of headphones, even over a pair of Sennheiser HD800S. I co

Should I get HD490 PRO or HD660S2 after Audeze Maxwell
The 660S2 will be more different than the Maxwell. However, I recommend getting the cheaper(and in my opinion, better) HD 600 if you want the best Sennheiser headphone for music. It easily sounds the most "Natural" and "Real" and "Normal" yet still "Lush" out of any Sennheiser in my opinion, even th

How would you guys describe the sound of the GW100x?
I had the GW100(1st gen) and currently own the GW100(2nd gen). They remind me a lot of the Hemp's sound. They have way more bass than the SR60e and are slightly more laid back. Amazing for movies. I have HD599 and they are the worst headphones out of all that I own. Other than comfort, they're super

I spent years looking for real 3D audio
Thanks a lot for this! I didn't know this existed. I use a Sennheiser HD 800 S as well, and I am getting good sound with Room Calypso. However, the sound seems to be coming from above, unfortunately. If I switch to the closest sounding variant (Room 2), it doesn't sound as correct and it sounds like
