I might be something from the middle. Yes, I did spend a hefty 5000 euros to my headphone setup. And yes it sounds absolutely magical and every day I'm happy listening to music with it.
But I also have a large multi-terabyte music collection, I follow new music, go to concerts, go to parties, talk about music with my friends in signal group chats.
It's a hobby, and when you get a bit older and start having some savings, if you love music treating yourself with a better system is not that crazy.
- UmYeahNo 3mo agoWhen I got old enough to finally afford those toys I discovered I couldn't hear above 16khz anymore.
- pimeys 3mo agoIt is not only that. It's the spacing, how the bass sounds, separation of instruments. There's so many interesting headphones in the midrange to try out. Compare the Hifiman HE1000se to Heddphone 2 GT, or to Focal Clear MG and you'll understand. Also with HEDD you get a handcrafted device made in Berlin. And if you go with nicer cables, they are very beautifully done and feel great. There is no difference in sound of course. Some people like jewelry, I can get similar enjoyment from beautiful audio equipment and cables.

- pimeys 3mo agoDepends. I'm more into finding certain masters. And some of the albums are DSD tape transfers. DSD if that was the original recording format, if it was mixed and PCM was needed, DXD flac. And so many CDs of course.
