Headphoneus Supremus
Head-Fi is simply bigger and more convoluted. So what happens is you don’t really realize how many threads are on a topic every week. Though I have seen a surge in the technology and popularity of IEMs since 2016? Where there was a dominant headphone theme in 2006 when I started visiting this place, with very little emphasis on the few IEMs available then. Now it is all kinds of stuff from headphones, to amplifiers, to portable equipment and more.
Truly I visited the other headphone forums and they are not the same. Still nice with what they are doing, yet one is overly measuring headphones for my taste. One is simply not as diverse, yet if you like their topics they are at times more in-depth? Then one is more gossip orientated and not also as wide range or as in-depth? So, what can I say, I’m maybe slightly narrow minded and focused here, which in itself can create a bias in favor of the place?
As far as moderators and freedom to talk, it is a nice balance here, with none of those long side streets into other topics that you have with other forums. If you’re into IEMs there has never been a better time in the history of Planet Earth to see them all. Literally everyday a new product is released. There has been the introduction of new media forms and services, yet Head-Fi is still the most respected place to get information.
