Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum, but currently stand at 18 pairs, is that too much?
Luckily they're all cheapies. I hope to broaden my tastes here now!

Damn you have guys have so much headphones haha I only have one since I'm really young (a teen) I'm planning on buying another one though. I want to try open back headphones because right now I have closed back cans
Well, we all start somewhere, right?

Yeah I'd love to get a lot more in the future btw I noticed you live in the Philippines. Know any good audio stores? (I live in the Philippines too)
I saw mention of the Fidelio L2, I'm strongly considering upgrading my Fidelio L1 to the L2, any thoughts on doing so? Thanks,
I'd say around 5-10 is a nice sweet spot.
Most importantly its the quality each produce. One can easily accumulate 20+ headphones but what matters is their performance relative to each other. What often happens is you have several headphones 20+ like mentioned but only use 4-5 of them. I went through this for a while finding I'd only use the better performing ones and if I did use something below standard I started to wonder why I even bothered spending time with the 'lower quality gear', that should really be centered on my 'best gear'
I sold a lot of my headphones/players trying to keep between 5-10. Atm I have 4 main IEM setups (down from about 10) and 3 portable headphone setups. Each of these has their own DAP and they live together as pairings. They also stay within a certain performance goal that complements each other, so I'm not dropping the quality switching between. Sometimes the wise saying: 'its the quality, not the quantity that matters" is true for audio.
And if you haven't used something for over a year, sell, give, throw it away. (with exception of collector items)
The purpose of this hobby is to upgrade as you progress. imo.
