Hello, i'm kurt91, and im into reference headphones. I have a pair of LCD-Xs. I like the info and inventory on this site. Im looking to learn more about the best type of amps for reference headphones and buy some. Also looking to share my experiences and hear from others.
Welcome =) Studio Reference Headphones are pretty much the best that exists! At least in my opinion, you will find enough people who disagree with that. But here you found at least one who agrees :D

Welcome to Head-Fi,

I prefer having multiple flavors of sound to choose from, yet everyone has their own preferences in sound. There is no right or wrong way to enjoy this hobby, and I am sure you will find more people who have similar tastes to your own. There are plenty of helpful members on this forum with a wealth of knowledge to share. I am looking forward to seeing you around the many threads I follow on Head-Fi.

Happy Listening!
:L3000:

Hey everyone on Head-Fi!

Just wanted to quickly introduce myself before diving into reviews and discussions. I've been a long-time lurker here, but I'm finally ready to jump into the English-speaking side of the audio community! I'm FlyShadowing, and I've actually been pretty active on various Chinese audio forums for years, sharing my thoughts and experiences there.

My journey into audio started quite practically from >10 years ago, and recently has transitioned into needing good IEMs for part-time gigs playing at a music bar. That led me down this rabbit hole, and I've really grown to love exploring different gear. I tend to prefer a warmer, more musical sound signature, which you'll probably gather from my future posts.

Looking forward to connecting with you all and learning a ton!

Thank you Vamp898. I am interested in learning more about the other types of headphones and why people choose them, but personally I am more about details and clarity over spectacle.

I do understand both sides. I owned a lot of audiophile Headphones/Earphoens and some of them are really fun to listen to. But there is always that one song that just doesn't sound right. That never happens with an Reference Monitor so i personally settled on these. But i understand the appeal of things that are not ""flat""

Oh yes, I know what you're describing. I remember listening to my first pair of beats a long time ago and thinking I was having some next level audio experience. But when you understand what's happening technically, the drama is gone. At the audiophile level, it's about precision and clarity in my mind. At this point, I just cannot comprehend how you could have the neutral response that allows every element/instrument to be recognized while also having emphasis in particular frequencies to get that "spectacle factor". To me, that means you're not getting the full experience.
