Reply to comment by nahmanidk in My Endgame by dumbcollegekid

I agree but I think it’s also mostly true for people who buy mid-level and endgame-level shit. You can get used to a Meze Emperyan just like you can with the KSC75. In the last year the only headphone/iem related purchase I’ve made are ear tips. I got upper-mid-fi stuff that has been and will be endgame for a while. Still genuinely use KSC75s more than everything else combined and 95%+ of my music listening is KSC75 or Variation. But hey I’ll probably grab a couple cheaper iems for 11/11. So yea I just think saying that ^^ is naive just cuz minds change but it’s also totally normal.

Well in your case, you have Variations, Elex, HD600 and probably have had others that are well regarded. Without further context, I’m assuming OP hasn’t explored higher end options and simply is content with what they have…for now!

Probably best not to assume though? I am obviously not a budget user with HD650 here, but that comes after having experienced a bunch of higher end stuff. A key thing about “budget end game” is that people listen and realize “this is achieving levels of enjoyment that are comparable to more expensive stuff”. Everything after is often just FOMO / “well, I can afford fancier so why not”.
