I’m still trying new headphones. I guess I should have phrased that as “And the more headphones I try, the more confident I will be that I’ve found the best for me.” Part of the point being finding audio perfection is a path, not a destination.
I originally wrote that as an email to friends and family a few months ago, so I’ve tried a few headphones and software since then. I plan to try at least a few more. At the time I had an Oppo PM-3 and a Sennheiser 58X. Of the two I preferred the 58X but its clamp pressure was a bit much. You can find my impressions here:
Then I tried the Philips Fidelio X2HR. I will post about that here soon. After that I went upscale a bit and bought the AKG K712 PRO. I have my thoughts on that almost ready to post too. Right now that is the best I’ve found for me and I’m comparing it to the Hifiman Sundara.
