Awesome headphones. If you don’t mind the beyer peak. My favorites are my grado rs2. But I prefer music on speakers not headphones, so much space is lost on headphones. Hear a pair of magnepans in a room and you’ll be blown away. Got some original SMGa’s from 1989!

Real audio enthusiasts know the room is the most important, followed by the speaker itself, followed by the actual source. Then the amp etc.

And when you record and mix music you realize how much of it is bullshit in the end. The source is all that matters, really.

In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't,' notes the experiment creator
