- Headphone Inventory
- What I look for in a headphone is Natural or Sweet Vocal Reproduction > Instrumental Timbre > Music sounds engaging and intimate > Music Weight (Don’t want the music to sound thin) > Soundstage (Reverb) > Bass > Sub-bass > Clarity (I think you can achieve a good amount of clarity with the source rather than just relying on the headphone, but you kinda need both headphone and equipment to get a good amount of clarity)
