TBF, until I spent what I considered 'proper' money ($200+) on headphones I didn't really 'get it'. But the difference my first 'proper' pair of headphones made to listening to music, I'm not sure I'd ever be happy going back.
Agree $500 is a punchy headphone purchase though!
- throwanem 6y agoTB equally F, by the time you have headphones, amp, and DAC, you'll be pretty close to that price anyway. HD 6XX + Magni/Modi is about the most cost-effective you can get, and with shipping you're looking at about $450 all told. Worth it for sure, but it's pretty rare when you get into this kind of stuff that you're just paying for headphones. (That said, an HD 598 or whatever replaced it in Sennheiser's line is a great intro - the quality of reproduction is very much in the same ballpark, and you don't need specialized equipment to drive it. Considerably cheaper, too.)
