If you put it that way, we might as well call trumpets just metal pipes with a bunch of holes in them!
but totally get your point about having cans with different sound signatures to suit your mood, music genre etc. it's all good.
Everyone has the freedom to have many headphones or just one. Personally, I couldn't live with having rock-headphones, pop-headphones and metal-headphones. I want to be able to listen to everything without changing headphones several times.
Exactly, that's why I use my HD650 more than TH900, because HD650 apart from EDM do everything better..... However HD650 have to be driven correctly for them to sing, unlike TH900 which sound good on just about anything, but they do scale up as well.
Er... doesn't that actually kind of prove my point, that sometimes it's better to have multiple headphones to suit one's needs?
Yea, you use the HD-650 the most... but you're still having to bust out the TH-900 for the EDM.
I've been in the headphone hobby for over ten years. I realize there will never be a perfect headphone that does everything perfectly well, so I've resigned to just buying headphones for their intended purposes.
Don't get me wrong... Ideally, there would be that one perfect headphone out there in existence, but practically speaking, it doesn't, and most likely never will. People are obviously free to do whatever they want with their money, be it just spend it on one headphone, but there's nothing wrong with buying different pairs for different purposes.
Totally agree....... was just posting my subjective view to TheOtus. Wasn't an attack on anyone
bit puzzled by your statement tho. are you saying that the "intended purposes" of cans differ? or are you saying that you prefer certain cans for particular music genres/purposes?
