I have been a headphone-phile since 2003 and I've been a member ever since.
18 years have passed and after numerous headphone adventures I have gradually lost interest. As I grew up my free time has become more and more precious and scarce. Family also requires me to be more in touch with my environment.
I still enjoy my hd800 headphones but nowadays I use them rarely, maybe a few hours per year. I mostly use my home speakers and AirPods for home music listening. It's convenience above all for me lately and I can't stand the cables, the amps and the DACs despite the higher fidelity. And I listen to a lot of music while driving.
I have kept expensive equipment over the last few years only to find out I have let it sit unused. So even though I love the idea of great headphone sound, I just think I have to admit I am done with headphones. I'll probably sell my HD800s as well and stick with AirPods which instantly pair with my laptop and phone.
Anyone with a similar experience who just quit the hobby?
