Upgrade Time, Need Advice - $1,600 budget

Yea well some are different drivers so they do sound quite different. So it’s like…
You are together with your Girl but the “Love making” gets a bit boring. So you try a different one and it’s quite good until it gets boring again. U know? I had that experience switching from dynamic Driver to Planar Magnetic.

PS: Not that i had that experience in Reallife !!

Haha that actually makes a lot of sense. High quality gelato is always going to be good. Maybe at first you want vanilla but after a while you want a different flavor, not any better but different. That’s a good way to think about it. So I guess the real target is finding that flavor which never gets boring or takes a long time to get boring :joy:

Or have 2 Headphones that complement each other.
Im trying to find one for gaming and Bass and i have one for Open sounding Seperation nice Treble and Detail retrieval.

I can’t answer that question lol. I can tell you my most used headphones, and that would the the ksc75 though

I would really slow down here. When you really get into true flagship territory, you might find that to actually get the most out of them, that you spend 2 to 3x the amount of the headphones on source gear to power them properly. Also don’t rush into things, if you are interested in the clear, go for it, and a month later or so come back thinking what you want to do and how you want to approach things

Also I 2nd the 2 headphones thing, many find that they really could just use another headphone, as there aren’t really any true all rounders, and having a few pairs keeps things fresh and enjoyable while covering your bases

The bigger your Harem the better is what he’s trying to say. And you need diversity in your Harem.

With all the headphones being thrown out here if you settle on the clears I would definitely look at Audeze for your next mistress lol. Big planars are so fun to listen too. Also I would also grab the big 3 from koss as they all give you a little different something to listen with and they are dirt cheap god tier headphones. Lastly have fun with trying things out before you move onto the next best thing.

Oh and Stax that is all.
