I’ve got a few full size headphones and a few good IEMs. I’m honestly not sure which one has the “most detail”. Focal Elex, AKG K371, 7Hz Timeless AE, Etymotic ER4SR, Truthear Hexa, and AirPods Pro 2’s is what’s in my rotation. Maybe I’m just not able to hear detail as well as some others with golden ears. I’d think that most would assume that the ER4SR would have the most, and maybe it does, but I don’t know.

The two I’ve been using the most lately is the Timeless AE and the Hexa. The Timeless is $260, and the Hexa is $80. I’m not sure that I’m really hearing more detail with the Timeless over the Hexa. I know that the Timeless is the more fun sounding one in terms of impact and fun treble extension.

I appreciate your honest comment. I went through similar experiences and it was a red pill for me. Especially combined with finding "detail" matched more and more the better I was able to tweak the headphones with EQ.
