Hey, if a person is financially able to afford numerous "statement" headphones, and many different amps to drive them, why not?
This is a "hobby", and is supposed to be fun. Everyone has a different idea of what fun is...To each their own.
How boring would it be if there was only one "reference" amp and one "reference" headphone available to us? Plus, who is qualified to choose this mythical "reference" headphone for everyone?
Sure, I listen to live music a few times a week, play multiple instruments, and have access to wicked expensive gear. However, I am no more qualified to decide what is "right" for another person than anyone else. And, it is nice to have a wide variety of gear at ones disposal when "judging" different audio components, designs and/or design concepts, or just to find the right combination of gear when chasing the gestalt.
Peace,
Lee
