Always wanted to try Hifiman. Never had the pleasure of listening to planar cans.

I think I'd love it, I like really fast tight bass. It need the lows but if it gets boomy or bloated it ruins the mids for me do planars seem like the next step. Goodbye money. . .

I dont know that song, I've just put it on now so I'll have a listen. . .

Usually into rock/metal as my main preference but I have learnt to love great sounding well produced music of any type since being into headphones.

Nice, my wife has claimed my set of SR850s, she loves them! 🤣

I always had sony buds between about 2006 and 2019. Various models but they were the only brand I trusted util I looked a bit deeper into the hobby.

I bought a set of SR850 too. Was pleasantly surprised by them for sure. Funnily enough my wife, who isn't into audio gear at all, loves them. She prefers them over my Beyerdynamics, AKG K702 and Grado SR60! They've become her headphones for in the house so I'm pleased they're getting good use.

It's funny with dankpods. He isnt and expert but his enthusiasm just grabbed me! His taste in sound profile seems similar to mine too so I've always enjoyed seeing ehat he recommends.

Nice collection. Definitely feel like Sennheiser is in my future. Never owned any but I've been so close to pulling the trigger a few times.

It's funny how we all have different preferences. I'm a firm believer that if you like the sound you get then it's good sound, regardless of price/reputation etc. I guess that's why it's such an engaging hobby.

Ahh, that's cool. I remember saving up and getting the 1st gen ipod mini about 2005. The apple buds were truly dreadful but I didn't know any better! Wasn't until about the same time as you I got some Sony in ears and had a similar experince!

Nice.

My dad had a similar system when I was growing up. Still has it actually. He's got about 300 vinyl records from the 60s up to today. He never had headphones though, was hooked up to a multi speaker system he'd worked on over the years.

I've always been interested in the 560s. I have DT990 Pro, AKG K702 and original Grado SR60 at the moment. I really enjoy bright treble so they suit me pretty well. How would you compare the 560s?

👆 this is the way.

Use something you know inside and out. That way you will notice new aspects or miss things that aren't there.

Can't agree more on the different genres thing too. My music taste has changed and evolved so much from coming to appreciate the sound of some songs rather than the music itself!
