Trying is always best, @PaganDL, but not always practical for everyone ... and every can. A lot depends on where you live (if there's a store or person nearby that'll let you demo this or that can).
Reviews can help one make a preselection. If you look at the list of studio headphones in the opening post, it's rather ... overwhelming!
@Sinocelt
Agree with you there which is why more often than not, if no demo, I really am not interested unless I am willing to take a chance which is rare but it does happen...
Also, if a person is lucky to be near a canjam or good audio show, this helps too...
Yes, I did see the opening list & it does help I tried most of them with extensive demos & also actually own some on the list.
In closing, all I can say is most reviews these days aren't the greatest but I agree preselection choices do help narrow it down though how much one believes the reviewers is a tricky proposition & sometimes I find press releases more useful though those can be terrible as well if not more terrible than reviews...
So it all depends.
Hope you have a great day !
