Getting used to it - the benefits of owning multiple headphones

Great thread! I have 4 headphones in rotation, on my desktop setup. I like to switch things up so things stay fresh and exciting. However, I like to keep my headphones all within a similar but slightly different flavor. This way, I am not completely confused and it does not take too long to adjust to the differences. I used to have some other headphones that sounded completely different than the other, and the differences were so huge, it made both headphones sound off, when I switched from one to the other. Not sure if this makes since, but even my iems have similar “warm sound sigs”, so when switching back and forth, I can hear a difference and it is fresh and exciting again, but it does not sound off, and take me days to adjust. For instance, I own an Ori and Alpha Prime, that have the same driver and similar sound, but they are different enough that one is better at certain genres, and I can switch back and forth between the 2, without either one sounding way off. That is just how I do it, because I really have a preferred sound sig, as in warm, wide, and thick, with great resolve. All my headphones, have these qualities, but excel in different areas within those qualities. I love this hobby!

Happy Saturday!
